US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has reassured that the United States will not take any actions detrimental to the security of its allies in the Gulf region, emphasizing that any engagement with Iran will be done in full coordination with regional partners.
Rubio made these statements during his visit to Kuwait as part of a Gulf tour that includes Bahrain, reaffirming Washington's commitment to continuous consultations with its allies regarding regional developments and the Iranian issue.
The US Secretary stated that America will be fully aligned with its Gulf partners, ensuring that no measures will be taken that could compromise allied nations' security or threaten regional stability.
Rubio added that Washington remains open to reaching an agreement with Tehran if the latter shows genuine readiness, although he noted that President Donald Trump has alternative options should the diplomatic path falter.
He revealed that technical negotiation teams will resume talks with the Iranian side later this month, suggesting that meetings may return to Switzerland to continue discussions on unresolved issues.
These statements come amidst ongoing diplomatic efforts to contain regional tensions, with the US repeatedly stressing the importance of maintaining Gulf security and ensuring regional stability alongside pursuing negotiations with Iran.
