US Secretary of State Rubio Sees 'Finish Line' in Iran War
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday that Washington can see the "finish line" in the war with Iran.
Rubio made the remarks to Fox News as the conflict entered its fifth week. Messages are being exchanged between Washington and Tehran, with potential for direct talks, he said. The war began in late February and has expanded to involve Lebanon, Iraq and Gulf shipping lanes.
President Donald Trump said the US could withdraw from the war within "two or three weeks," with or without a deal from Iran.
The fighting has caused thousands of deaths and millions displaced, along with volatility in oil prices and shipping due to threats against the Strait of Hormuz.
Rubio also suggested the US may review its relationship with NATO after the war.
