US and Israel Launch Attacks in Iran After 32 Days

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio made a statement during an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera, stating that the objectives of the US war in Iran are expected to be achieved within a short timeframe.

The conflict in Iran has entered its 32nd day, with ongoing air strikes by the US and Israel across the country. Reports have emerged of powerful explosions in Tehran and Isfahan.

According to Rubio, communication between the US and Iranian governments is currently taking place through intermediaries. He stated that the US war objectives are expected to be achieved within “weeks”, rather than months.

US President Donald Trump has also made a statement regarding the conflict, warning that Iran’s main oil export hub and energy infrastructure will be targeted if no deal is reached soon.

Details of the ongoing negotiations between the US and Iran have not been disclosed. However, it has been reported that Rubio’s comments suggest a sense of urgency in achieving a resolution to the conflict.

The situation remains fluid, with ongoing air strikes and reports of explosions in key cities. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
