Rubio allowed a deal with Iran only under real and verifiable conditions

Washington strives for a deal with Tehran, but not at any cost, it is important to it that the US-Iranian agreement is verifiable and real. This was announced on June 25 by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, while taking part in a tour of the Middle East.

"We want a good deal, we need a real deal, we want a deal that can be verified, and we want a deal that will be followed," the Turkish Anadolu news agency quoted him as saying.

The American Secretary of State added that all agreements reached by the parties during the negotiations should not contradict the interests of US partners in the region. He stressed that Washington wants to make this area "for people focused on making money, not on bombs and weapons."

Urgent contact: why the US and Iran will not be able to establish lasting peace

How did the first face-to-face talks between Washington and Tehran end after the signing of the memorandum

The head of the White House, Donald Trump, announced last night that Tehran had agreed to major concessions in the negotiations. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at the same time that Moscow highly appreciates the concluded Iranian-American memorandum and is ready to mediate in the subsequent processes of interaction between these parties.

The relevant statements were made the day after the US Senate passed a resolution obliging Trump to end the military operation in the Islamic Republic. It was supported by 50 people, and 48 more opposed it. The American leader himself noted that the senators who voted for the resolution complicated the work of his office.
