U.S. Secretary of State: "No Need" for Large-Scale Military Operations Against Iran

According to Xinhua News Agency in Paris on November 10 (reporters Zhang Baihui and Sun Yi), U.S. Secretary of State Rubio stated in Paris, France, that the economic sanctions and maritime blockade measures imposed by the United States have been "very significant," and therefore there is no need to carry out large-scale military operations against Iran.

After participating in the G7 foreign ministers' meeting, Rubio stated in an interview that the effects of Washington's economic sanctions on Iran will become increasingly significant. The United States remains open to reaching a "real agreement," but the conditions proposed by Tehran are quite "absurd." He also mentioned that Iran's demand for war reparations has been clearly rejected by President Trump.

Regarding the new round of trilateral talks between the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia held in Abu Dhabi, Rubio believes that the talks were "very productive" and suggested that the scope of the discussions should be expanded to include European participation.

On the 8th, Trump stated that as long as U.S.-Iran negotiations make progress, it is "extremely unlikely" that the U.S. will resume large-scale military operations against Iran, but he also emphasized that U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East are "ready" and that the possibility of military action has not been ruled out.
