Washington, DC – US Secretary of State Marco Rubio asserted that the decision-making process within Iran is clearly divided.
He also indicated that this division is reflected in its political stances and regional actions.
His remarks came in an interview with Sky News, where he emphasized
that his country still prefers the diplomatic approach in dealing with Tehran.
Division within the Iranian leadership
Rubio explained that the US administration is closely monitoring what he described as the state of division within Iranian institutions,
noting that the multiplicity of decision-making centers hinders the achievement of clear and stable positions.
He added that this situation further complicates the political landscape, both domestically and in Iran’s foreign relations.
The US Secretary of State indicated that Washington will continue to pursue diplomatic solutions.
He also emphasized that dialogue remains the best option to avoid further escalation.
He affirmed that the United States is open to any serious negotiating track aimed at achieving stability in the region.
A call for negotiation and a warning against escalation
Rubio urged Iran to accept negotiations as soon as possible, warning that the continuation of the current situation could exacerbate the crises.
He pointed out that delaying engagement in serious talks could present Tehran with even greater challenges,
given the increasing political and economic pressures.
These statements come at a time of continued tension in relations between Washington and Tehran.
Meanwhile, international efforts are underway to revive negotiations and de-escalate tensions in the region through diplomatic channels.
