NNA - US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Sunday his country's readiness to "hold talks" with Iran regarding its civilian nuclear program, according to Agence France-Presse.

In an interview with Fox News following US strikes targeting three Iranian nuclear sites, Rubio said, "The Iranian regime has to wake up and say: Well, if we really want nuclear power (for peaceful purposes) in our country, there is a way to do it. The offer is still there. We are ready to talk to them tomorrow."
