Iran begging us every day to make a dealLooks like Iran not ready to make a deal, they will pay the pricePrice on Iran will get higher every night until they come to their senses
The remarks come as the US and Iran continue exchanging military strikes following the collapse of the ceasefire earlier this month. The US has carried out nightly airstrikes targeting Iranian military infrastructure, while Iran has responded with missile and drone attacks against US-linked assets across the region and has continued threatening shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, and now the Red Sea via the Houthis.
The US maintains the diplomacy while simultaneously increasing military and economic pressure on Iran to force them in accepting their conditions. Rubio’s comments suggest the US intends to continue intensifying pressure until Iran changes its negotiating stance as the administration sees sustained military operations and economic pressure as leverage to force Iran back to the negotiating table.
However, with both sides continuing daily exchanges of strikes and neither showing signs of backing down, prospects for a near-term diplomatic breakthrough remain low. Meanwhile, oil prices continue to surge with no top in sight.
