The US Secretary of State said that updates would be forthcoming later today, and he would leave any further announcements to Donald Trump. However, there is a possibility of "good news" within the next few hours regarding the Strait of Hormuz, he added.
Rubio cautioned that "final progress" in negotiations with Iran has not been reached and reiterated that "the ultimate goal is for Iran to never possess nuclear weapons."
