PARIS, November 10. /TASS/. The United States doesn't see Iran's current terms in negotiations on a possible end to the war as realistic, calling Tehran's demands "absurd," US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.

"I think Iran would love a deal. The problem is the conditions they continue to place are absurd. Like they're not even serious right now," the top US diplomat said at a news conference in Paris following a meeting of G7 foreign ministers. "So, but that could change certainly," Rubio added.

He said US President Donald Trump is fully prepared to reach a mutually beneficial agreement. "If there's a deal to be done, the president will be the first one to be in favor of it. It's not going to be a stupid deal. It's not going to be a bad deal," Rubio said.

Iran is demanding reparations, among other things, the top diplomat said. "They should be the ones paying reparations because they're the ones that have, you know, destabilized the [Middle East] region for long periods of time. They're demanding pallets of cash, which the president's made clear is not going to happen," the secretary of state added.
