United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio says his country is willing to negotiate an end to the war on Iran but accuses Tehran of not being “serious” about talks.

“The United States remains open and willing to engage in positive and constructive negotiations and discussions, provided that the commitments made are honoured,” Rubio said about Iran at an Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) meeting in Manila on Wednesday.

I think "not being serious about talks" means not willing to give up its independence and pay Trump. They are willing to wait for America to pay compensation.

gonna be a long wait ,like paying hitler reperaations

Trump calling them everything under the Sun , must be a hindrance

to negotiations , and who can trust him ,I am sick of hearing him say

they want a deal , they are desperate for a deal ,and if they don't do a

deal i am going to annihilate their civilization ...the art of the deal 💪

So long as Iran are capable of striking vessels in the Hormuz Strait, as well as hitting Gulf States with American bases, the US is cornered.

Nothing to do but negotiate.

Sack the real estate agents and put some real diplomats in

Trump has previous history as a bad payer. Iran will likely be waiting a long time for that to happen.

There will be no 'good faith' negotiations as long as the 'Zionists' have any control/say/power

over the matter..already bombed them 2 times while 'negotiating' I think maybe they have learned the lesson ?

The Straits of Hormuz are contiguous to Iran. The Gulf States are adjacent to Iran.

Iran is a nation of 93 million people, they are not Arab. The Gulf States are extremely vulnerable and will not wish to spend the next 50 years "facing off" them as an enemy.

Even a real estate agent should be able to work that one out!
