US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that there has been no significant progress in recent truce negotiations with Iran, dismissing Iran's demands as "unacceptable" and at times "outrageous and ridiculous."

His comments come as Rubio prepares to depart for Paris, where he will participate in the G7 Foreign Ministers meeting on Monday and Tuesday.
