Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, announced on Wednesday, September 23, during the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, that consultations with mediators regarding Iran will continue, and preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons is the most important issue in any potential agreement.

According to Rubio, Donald Trump remains willing to reach an agreement with Iran, but such an agreement will require difficult and intensive negotiations involving mediators.

The U.S. Secretary of State also mentioned the Strait of Hormuz, reporting that oil tankers continue to pass through the southern route and stated that protecting shipping and keeping the strait open are among the missions of the U.S. military.

Rubio did not provide further details on the diplomatic consultations and emphasized, "If an agreement is to be reached, it will not happen at a press conference."

In response to remarks by Masoud Pezeshkian, who accused the United States of violating international laws, Rubio strongly criticized Tehran.

Rubio pointed out the deaths of thousands of people in protests, financial support for terrorist groups to attack neighbors and energy facilities, and defiance of nuclear resolutions, emphasizing that the Islamic Republic of Iran is the largest violator of the international order in the world.

He stated, "I don't know what right Iran has to preach to anyone about human rights or the international order while it continuously violates it." The U.S. Secretary of State added that the Iranian regime, through the massacre of its own people, violation of the sovereignty of neighboring countries, and disregard for the laws of the global community, has no legitimacy to comment on this matter.
