Rubio says no need for major combat operations against Iran
Iran\u2019s security chief Mohsen Rezaei has said that Tehran is waiting for a response from the United States on its seven conditions for peace talks, while dismissing speculation about holding any negotiations with Washington.
Rezaei\u2019s comments on Tuesday came as hopes grow for a diplomatic breakthrough<\/a> in the US and Israel\u2019s war on Iran after US President Donald Trump said that he saw \u201cpositive momentum\u201d towards ending the conflict.
Trump, who held talks with Qatar\u2019s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani at the White House on Monday<\/a>, also said that new attacks on Iran were unnecessary. Qatar is a key mediator in the conflict.
Rezaei told Lebanon\u2019s Al Mayadeen TV on Tuesday that claims\u00a0\u201cabout continuing negotiations or holding a meeting in Qatar is a pure lie\u201d, saying that Washington was talking up negotiations to ease economic pressure and bring down oil prices.
He said the Strait of Hormuz \u2013 the global maritime corridor that Iran closed \u2013 will not reopen until the US meets Tehran\u2019s seven conditions. \u201cTheir initial response was insufficient and deceptive, and we are still waiting for an explicit and clear response,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Iran has not released the full list of conditions. But Rezaei and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi have said it includes lifting sanctions and the US naval blockade, and ending the fighting on all fronts, especially Israel\u2019s attacks on Lebanon.
Araghchi has said that Hormuz could be reopened within two days if the demands are met.
\u201cThe conflict with Iran will not be resolved through military means, nor by intensifying sanctions,\u201d Araghchi told the state news agency IRNA on Tuesday. \u201cThe only solution is to adopt a language of respect, engage in diplomacy, and address Iran\u2019s demands and conditions \u2013 which were outlined in the two-day proposal and remain on the table,\u201d he said.
The war, which is now in its ninth month, has roiled global markets and disrupted oil and gas supplies, pushing up prices around the world.
In the French capital, Paris, where foreign ministers from the Group of 7 were meeting,<\/a> Sheikh Mohammed held talks with the Saudi foreign minister and four top European diplomats only hours after his meeting with Trump. The French Foreign Ministry said the talks would focus on the Iran crisis and its security and economic fallout.
Speaking to reporters in Paris, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington was \u201copen to diplomacy\u201d. He reiterated Trump\u2019s position that further strikes were not needed \u201cif we\u2019re achieving the same objectives through economic means\u201d.
\u201cThe economic campaign is so devastating that right now there is no need for major combat operations,\u201d Rubio said. \u201cThat\u2019s what I told our allies here today.\u201d
In the Strait of Hormuz, meanwhile, attacks on vessels continued<\/a>.
Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed that three oil tankers caught fire on Tuesday after striking naval mines while\u00a0transiting an \u201cunauthorised route\u201d in the eastern part of the strait.
The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency said it received reports of incidents involving two tankers in the region. It said one of the tankers had been struck by an unknown projectile northeast of Oman\u2019s Lima village.
The attacks came after maritime monitoring firms reported at least 37 attacks on ships in and near the Strait of Hormuz in October. The figure is the highest monthly total for ship attacks since the start of the war.<\/p>\n
