US Secretary of State: Trump Has Not Decided to Resume Attacks on Iran

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday that President Donald Trump has not yet made a decision to resume attacks on Iran.

Rubio, speaking at a press conference after a meeting of the foreign ministers of the Group of Twenty (G20) in Atlanta, added that his country prefers a peaceful resolution to the crisis with Iran through diplomatic channels, noting that communication with Tehran often takes place through intermediaries.

Rubio clarified that he does not know if there is a specific timeline for talks with Iran, emphasizing that Iran continues to openly target commercial ships in the Gulf.

The US network MSN Now reported on Friday that Trump plans to resume strikes against Iran the day after the midterm congressional elections scheduled for November 3.
