JAKARTA - United States Secretary of State Rubio said President Donald Trump was determined to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, preferring to make it happen through negotiations.
"We don't want war," Foreign Minister Rubio said in the podcast 'Honesty with Bari Weiss', reported The Times of Israel April 23.
"We don't want to see war. It's not a campaigning president to start a war. And as he said very clearly, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon and he has the right to prevent it from happening, but he would rather not. He prefers not to use military force, either by us or by other parties. He prefers it to be something we can negotiate with," he explained.
Foreign Minister Rubio further trusted US special envoy Steve Witkoff, saying, "We have good people negotiating."
"Iran has shown a desire to negotiate. We will negotiate with them," Foreign Minister Rubio stressed, adding "if Iran wants a civilian nuclear program, they can do so as many other countries in the world do. That is, they import enriched materials."
It is known that the third round of US-Iran nuclear negotiations is scheduled to be held on Saturday.
