Rubio says Iran deal still possible as Trump tempers expectations

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said a deal with Iran is still possible, possibly as soon as Monday, according to multiple reports. He emphasized diplomacy as the preferred path, though President Donald Trump has tempered expectations about reaching an agreement.

Rubio also condemned Hezbollah during a visit to Lebanon, where President Aoun vowed not to accept Israeli occupation. Northern Israeli mayors warned against any US-Iran deal if Hezbollah remains intact, while Rubio dismissed Hezbollah threats against the Lebanese government as unlikely to succeed.
