US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Wednesday that he believes the technical teams in talks with Iran will reconvene on the 30th of the month, according to Israeli media reports citing his remarks. The statement follows a separate announcement earlier Wednesday by Pakistan's government, serving as a mediator, that US-Iran technical talks would resume next week, as The Zioneer reported. Rubio's comment narrows the timeframe to a specific calendar date, though the reference to "the 30th" — without specifying the month — and the divergence from the Pakistani announcement leaves the exact schedule unconfirmed by multiple independent sources. The talks, mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, have seen several rounds of negotiation in recent weeks. The Zioneer previously reported on June 15 that a senior White House official said the next two to three weeks would determine whether a full deal is possible. The discrepancy between Rubio and the Pakistani mediator regarding timing remains unresolved.
