Iran has no unlimited pain threshold, diplomatic window narrowing: Rubio

Washington, May 6 (UNI) Alongside his remarks on the Strait of Hormuz crisis, Secretary of State Marco Rubio used  press briefing to lay out the US position on Iran's nuclear programme, the War Powers Act, and the ongoing diplomatic push for a negotiated resolution, warning Tehran that the window for a deal is "narrowing fast."
Speaking at a Washington press briefing, Rubio dismissed Iran’s repeated claims of peaceful nuclear intent as “not credible” and outlined a clear choice for the regime to pursue reconstruction, stability, and prosperity through serious negotiations, or risk growing isolation, economic collapse, and eventual defeat.
Rubio was blunt on Iran's repeated claims of having no interest in nuclear weapons are simply not credible. "They have always said that; they just don't mean it," he said.
