Rubio says Iran willing to discuss topics it previously would not, as Iran claims to have halted contact with mediators
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio tells lawmakers that Iran has agreed to negotiate aspects of its nuclear program that it previously refused to discuss, but he says that is not a guarantee that talks will lead to a deal to end the US-Israeli war against Iran.
The remarks come shortly after two semi-official Iranian news agencies report that Iran stopped communicating with mediators after Israel threatened to bomb Beirut as it fights the Iran-backed Lebanese terror group Hezbollah.
