Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, said at a press conference on the sidelines of the G20 summit that discussions about Iran are ongoing and that Trump prefers to resolve the issue peacefully.
On Saturday, November 9, Rubio also stated that there are some issues that cannot be resolved peacefully.

The U.S. Secretary of State added, "I am not specifying any progress in negotiations with the Islamic Republic or any timeline regarding it, except to say that if there is a diplomatic solution, we welcome it."
Rubio continued, "Regarding Iran, if there is a diplomatic solution, we welcome it, but it is obvious that such a solution cannot jeopardize our national security or address our fundamental concerns that initially led us into this situation."

Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, stated that the Islamic Republic has not only clearly shown that it seeks to become a nuclear-armed power—something that must never be allowed to happen—but that this country and this regime are at the center of all the instability in the Middle East.
Rubio added, "There is instability in Lebanon because Iran supports Hezbollah. Saudi Arabia is targeted because Iran supports the Houthis. Iraq is also a country facing challenges because Iranian-backed militias are challenging its government."
He continued, "Wherever you look, you see one of Iran's proxy forces undermining peace and stability in the Middle East."
Rubio also referred to the repression of the people in Iran, saying, "This is a regime that has massacred its own people. You can only imagine what it would do to others if it acquires weapons of mass destruction."
The U.S. Secretary of State continued, "The Islamic Republic is blowing up ships, including ships that, for example, have Indian sailors on them."
