Washington: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and British Secretary of State David Lammy have reiterated their commitment to a diplomatic strategy aimed at preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons. This affirmation came during a phone conversation between the two officials on Monday. According to Kuwait News Agency, State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce disclosed in a press statement that Secretary Rubio discussed the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict with his British counterpart. The discussions underscored the mutual resolve of the US and UK to stay in close contact and promote a diplomatic pathway to ensure Iran does not acquire nuclear weapon capabilities. The dialogue between the two secretaries comes in the wake of reports suggesting that Iran, through intermediaries, has shown a willingness to resume negotiations. The condition set by Iran for resuming talks is the cessation of Israeli attacks and a commitment from the United States not to partake in these assaults, as reported by CNBC News. Th e urgency for diplomatic re-engagement is heightened by the recent large-scale attacks on Tehran and other Iranian cities by Israeli forces, which commenced at dawn last Friday. The situation continues to be tense, with international calls for a peaceful resolution gaining momentum.
