US Senator Rubio Says Iran 'Begging' for Deal but Not Ready to Make One

US Senator Marco Rubio has said that Iran is 'begging' for a deal with the US but is not yet ready to make one. This comes as the US and Iran engage in diplomatic efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. Rubio's comments were made in a recent interview, where he expressed skepticism about Iran's willingness to negotiate. The US and Iran have been engaged in talks to revive the nuclear deal, which was abandoned by the US in 2018. The deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), imposed limits on Iran's nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions. Rubio's comments suggest that the US may be facing challenges in securing a deal with Iran.
