U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Saturday that some progress had been made on negotiations with Iran and that a diplomatic solution remained Washington’s preferred outcome.

SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO RUBIO: The question is about the Iranian issue, and as I said, there’s been some progress done, some progress made. Even as I speak to you now, there’s some work being done. There is a chance that whether it’s later today, tomorrow, in a couple days, we may have something to say. But this issue needs to be solved, as the President has said, one way or the other. Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. The straits need to be opened without tolls. They need to turn over their enriched uranium. They need to turn over their highly enriched uranium. We need to address that issue. We need to address the issue of enrichment. These are the President’s points consistently, and his preference is always to deal with it in a diplomatic way. The President’s preference is always to solve problems such as these through a negotiated diplomatic solution. That’s what we’re working on right now. But this problem will be solved, as the President’s made clear, one way or the other. We hope it’s done through the diplomatic route. That’s what we’re working on, and perhaps there’ll be something to talk about on that topic while I’m here on this visit at some point.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
