  "account": "US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Sunday that efforts to negotiate with Iran had yielded little progress, and that he did not perceive an imminent breakthrough. During a G7 foreign ministers meeting in Paris, Rubio expressed Trump's preference for a diplomatic solution but described Iran's demands as \"unacceptable\" and in some cases \"outrageous and ridiculous.\" He emphasized that while Trump generally favors diplomacy, recent discussions have not been particularly fruitful. Rubio did not specify which Iranian demands he was referring to. Trump, however, confirmed that he would highly unlikely order new strikes against Iran if negotiations resulted in a robust agreement, while warning the US had identified additional infrastructure targets, including bridges, should military action resume.",
  "summary": "Speaking before departing Florida for a G7 foreign ministers meeting in Paris, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Trump preferred a diplomatic solution, but Iran's demands are “outrageous and ridiculous.”",
