Rubio says Trump undecided on resuming Iran strikes, prefers diplomacy

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Saturday that President Donald Trump has not decided whether to resume large-scale attacks against Iran, emphasizing Washington's military capability while noting Trump prefers a diplomatic resolution. Rubio made the remarks at the G20 foreign ministers' meeting in Atlanta, stating the U.S. does not take the conflict lightly. However, U.S. media including Axios and The New York Times report Washington and Tel Aviv may be preparing a new offensive targeting Iranian leaders and energy or nuclear infrastructure after Tuesday's midterm elections. An Iranian delegation traveled to Doha on Saturday for diplomatic consultations on ending the war, according to Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, who dismissed reports of potential meetings with U.S. representatives as media speculation.
