Secretary of State Marco Rubio told G7 foreign ministers that the U.S. war with Iran is expected to continue for 2-4 more weeks, with additional troop deployments and potential ground escalation considered. Rubio indicated the U.S. is nearing serious negotiations with Iran, although communication remains hindered by Tehran's leadership uncertainty and fear of assassination. He stated that talks would occur through intermediaries and highlighted that the U.S. expects the conflict to conclude within weeks, not months. Vice President Vance may lead U.S. negotiations, with Rubio, Witkoff, and Kushner involved.
