US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called Iran's demands "absurd" and said a breakthrough in negotiations is not imminent. Speaking to reporters in Florida on Sunday, Rubio said multiple countries remain in contact with Iran but declined to suggest a deal is near, criticizing some Iranian demands as unrealistic without specifying details. Iran has demanded the US lift its naval blockade on Iranian ports and remove sanctions, while Washington seeks Iran's reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and nuclear concessions. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said no mediator activity has occurred since the US midterm elections.
