US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the world could receive good news regarding a peace deal with Iran by the end of the day. He made the remarks on Sunday during a joint press conference in New Delhi, where he is on a four-day official visit. Rubio stated that the potential agreement would ease concerns over the Strait of Hormuz and initiate a process aimed at removing fears about Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

US President Donald Trump earlier said that most parts of the peace deal with Iran had been finalized following discussions with Israel and other regional allies. Trump described the ongoing talks as a memorandum of understanding related to peace, adding that the proposed agreement would reopen the Strait of Hormuz. However, Iran rejected Trump’s claim, asserting that Tehran would maintain control over the strategic waterway.

The statements from both sides indicate ongoing diplomatic efforts but also highlight unresolved tensions over control of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
