United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the United States will either reach a good agreement with Iran or deal with Tehran in another way.

Rubio told reporters in New Delhi that the United States will give diplomacy every opportunity to succeed before exploring “alternatives.”

He added: “There is a very strong offer on the table in terms of their ability to open the Strait of Hormuz and engage in real, meaningful, and time-bound negotiations regarding the nuclear issue, and we hope we can achieve that.”
