Rubio indicates Iran deal completion may take a few days amid US-Iran tensions

Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Tuesday that the completion of a framework for a peace deal with Iran may take 'a few days' as both parties work on finalizing the language of the agreement. This statement follows a recent US military action that targeted two boats belonging to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which Iran condemned as a 'gross violation' of the cease-fire. Rubio, speaking to reporters in India, emphasized that discussions are ongoing about the specifics of the initial document and highlighted the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open. He described the situation as unlawful and unsustainable, asserting that the straits must remain open without impediments.
