U.S. Senator Marco Rubio has publicly defended President Donald Trump’s negotiating stance with Tehran, insisting that Trump is “not going to make a bad deal” as talks over reopening the Strait of Hormuz continue. Rubio emphasized that any agreement must safeguard U.S. and allied security interests, particularly regarding Iran’s missile program and regional activities. His remarks come amid cautious optimism in Washington, where officials acknowledge progress on uranium disposal but warn that unresolved issues could derail the process. The statement underscores Republican support for Trump’s pressure-driven diplomacy, even as international partners urge compromise to stabilize Gulf trade routes and ease global oil market volatility.
