Rubio Says Iran 'Opening Up' on Nuclear Issue as Trump Insists Talks Are Continuous

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Iran is 'opening up' on the nuclear issue, while President Trump insisted US-Iran talks are 'continuous' despite the Memorandum of Understanding remaining unsigned. Rubio told Al Jazeera that Iran's supreme leader Khamenei appears 'more active' in the ongoing nuclear negotiations. Rubio also stated the US will only provide sanctions relief to Iran in direct exchange for concrete nuclear concessions — no goodwill gestures will be extended.
