The Israeli and US military launched Operation Epic Fury against Iran on February 28, 2026, over its alleged development of a nuclear program. Iran consistently stated that the program was peaceful in nature. In retaliation to US-Israeli attacks, Iran launched operation True Promise 4.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the United States and Iran were not yet on the verge of resolving their conflict.
"I don't have any progress to report to you. I think you see some of these things that are around there. We have a number of countries that continue to engage them on different ideas, but I wouldn't say we're on the verge of a breakthrough," Rubio told reporters. On Saturday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that the United States needed time to process the results of the congressional elections and determine the future of the negotiation process with Iran. For the time being, there has been no action from intermediaries due to the elections, he said.
