[Rubio: The U.S. and Iran Exchanging Messages Through Intermediaries]

Washington time, March 30, 2026, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in an interview with American Broadcasting Company (ABC):

As I've said, these efforts have only just begun. Messages are being exchanged, some negotiations are underway—including through intermediaries. We will achieve our goals within weeks, not months.

If the President decides this must not happen, he has multiple options. I won't discuss military tactics—please consult the Pentagon.
