Washington sees an end to the conflict with Iran on the horizon. It won’t happen today or tomorrow, but the end of hostilities is already approaching, Rubio noted.
He also reported on an exchange of messages between Iran and the U.S., which creates the potential for a “direct meeting at some point” between the parties.
In his view, Washington will have to reassess its relationship with NATO after the war with Iran ends.
“Ultimately, this decision must be made by the president (Donald Trump). But I think we need to reassess whether NATO, which has served well for a time, still fulfills its purpose, or whether it has become a one-way street,” Rubio added.
End of the conflict in the Middle East
Earlier, Trump stated that the U.S. war against Iran would last another two to three weeks. The U.S. has already succeeded in changing the government in the country and ensuring that Iran will not possess nuclear weapons.
Recently, Trump informed his aides of his readiness to end the war against Iran, noting that he would consider this option even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed.
