Rubio plans to update Netanyahu on US-Iran talks in Israel next week, officials say

Rubio will brief Netanyahu on the ongoing Geneva U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations amid regional security concerns and a U.S. military buildup, with talks showing some progress, officials said.

  • U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio plans to travel to Israel next week to update Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with a meeting expected on Feb. 28, two Trump administration officials said.
  • Recent rounds of indirect talks over Iran's nuclear program prompted coordination with Israeli officials after U.S. and Iranian delegations in Geneva met last week.
  • The administration combined cautious optimism about Geneva talks with warnings that diplomacy is the first option, while Karoline Leavitt noted military arguments remain possible.
  • The deployment, including USS Gerald R. Ford and about 30 U.S. fighter jets, raises escalation concerns as Rubio's Israel trip coincides with Trump’s Board of Peace on Thursday.
  • Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said `a new window has opened` and U.S. Vice President JD Vance said `In some ways, it went well` about the recent two rounds of indirect talks, signaling cautious optimism.
