India, US discuss Middle East, trade as Rubio cites progress on Iran conflict

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio held talks with Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar on Saturday, as the two sides discussed the Middle East, trade, visas, maritime security and energy supplies, while Washington cited progress on efforts to resolve the Iran conflict.

Rubio said progress had been made in the past 48 hours on an outline that could help resolve the situation around the Strait of Hormuz and added there was a possibility of "good news" in the next few hours.

He reiterated that Iran could never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon and said attacks on commercial vessels were "totally illegal."
