US-Iran War: Marco Rubio reacts to Modi-Pezeshkian meet at SCO summit - 'There's no trade deal between India and Iran'
Rubio's remarks came during an interview on The Brian Kilmeade Show on Fox News Radio in response to a question on the meeting between PM Narendra Modi and Iran President Massoud Pezeshkian on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Bishkek earlier this week.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on September 2nd that India and Iran are not discussing a trade deal, and many nations engage with Iran's regime. This remark followed a meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Bishkek.
Rubio's comments came in response to a question from Brian Kilmeade about whether the leaders had established a trade agreement. The US-Iran conflict has impacted global geopolitics, with the US and Israel targeting Iranian interests. The US Secretary of State emphasized that no nation should assist Iran in circumventing sanctions and generating revenue for terrorism or nuclear weapons development.
Pezeshkian appreciated India's support during the recent war and called for intensified diplomatic efforts to promote peace and security in the region.
