Fresh details have emerged about a possible agreement between the United States and Iran after US President Donald Trump said negotiations had made significant progress.
Trump said the deal was mostly negotiated following discussions with Israel and several regional countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan and Turkey.
However, Marco Rubio cautioned that talks were still ongoing and no final agreement had yet been reached.
According to regional officials familiar with the negotiations, Iran has agreed not to pursue nuclear weapons and may give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium under the proposed agreement.
Officials said discussions are continuing over how the uranium would be handled, with some possibly being diluted and the rest transferred abroad.
The proposed deal could also include easing restrictions on Iranian oil exports and reopening parts of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global energy shipments.
Negotiators are also discussing the release of frozen Iranian assets and the gradual lifting of some US sanctions.
The talks follow months of tensions after US and Israeli strikes on Iran earlier this year triggered regional conflict and fears of wider war.
Although a ceasefire has remained in place since April, concerns continue over Iran’s nuclear activities and the ongoing conflict involving Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Israeli officials said they are closely monitoring the negotiations while maintaining pressure over regional security concerns.
