Secretary of State Rubio to Share US-Iran Deal with the House of Representatives

JAKARTA - US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will brief House members of both parties on the interim deal with Iran in the afternoon local time, a source told CNN.

It will be the first time most members hear directly from the Donald Trump administration about their efforts to end the war.

This explanation session will be held virtually, given that a number of members of parliament are still on their way back to Washington ahead of the vote scheduled for 6:30 p.m. local time.

The agenda comes after the US said the two sides had agreed to hold off - at least for now - following the attack last weekend.

Previously, US President Donald Trump said the US would meet with Iran in Doha, Qatar, on Tuesday.

"IRAN HAS REQUESTED A MEETING. THE MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE TOMORROW IN DOHA!" he wrote on Truth Social on Monday, June 29 morning local time, as reported by CNN.

Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran's chief negotiator, earlier told reporters there were no technical working group meetings scheduled for this week.

Meanwhile, a senior US official told CNN yesterday that technical talks on the memorandum of understanding were going "according to plan" despite the recent firefight.
