Last Updated:May 23, 2026, 21:30 IST

Speaking to reporters in Delhi, Rubio said there was progress in US-Iran discussions related to the Strait of Hormuz and Tehran's nuclear programme.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio hinted that the US-Iran talks have entered a decisive phase as the West Asia conflict is set to complete three months, adding that a diplomatic breakthrough is expected to come as soon as Saturday.

Speaking to reporters during his India visit, Rubio said discussions related to the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s nuclear programme were ongoing as the talks reached a critical phase, with Pakistan’s Army Chief arriving in Tehran and US President Donald Trump skipping his son’s wedding due to “circumstances pertaining to government."

Rubio said there had been progress in negotiations but did not rule out Trump resuming attacks on Iran. “There might be some news a little later today. There may not be. I hope there will be," he told reporters.

“There’s been some progress done, some progress made. Even as I speak to you now, there’s some work being done. There is a chance that, whether it’s later today, tomorrow, in a couple days, we may have something to say," he added.
