US Secretary of State Rubio said that although the US military has launched attacks on Iran for the ninth night in a row, the US “is still open to a diplomatic solution.” Rubio said that the US side will continue to push for long-term peace with Iran, and that the Trump administration “is still willing to resolve the issue through diplomatic channels.” He said that the US side has received signals “directly” and “through various channels in other countries” that Iran wants dialogue and negotiations, but America's current actions are “a response to Iran's actions.” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bagae also said on the 20th that Iran “remains open to diplomacy” and that mediation efforts by all parties are continuing, but as long as the attacks continue, Iran will continue to carry out “defensive military operations.” Although US and Iranian officials both suggest that diplomatic negotiations may resume, the two sides continue to launch military attacks. The memorandum of understanding previously signed by the US and Iran has actually broken down, and the risk of escalating the regional situation is still increasing.
