After nine consecutive nights of U.S. airstrikes on Iranian military targets ordered by President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington remains "open for talks" if Tehran is willing to negotiate. Rubio argued Iran has spent vast resources supporting groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas instead of investing in its own people, urging the country to choose development over regional militancy. The remarks came as fighting continued despite diplomatic outreach, underscoring the gap between ongoing military operations and stated openness to negotiations.

00:00I mean, Iran's economy has changed.
00:01They're at 300% in places, particularly on license names.
00:06They have dwindling revenues to pay, even their own payroll.
00:11They have food shortages.
00:12They have a drought, as we've been caused.
00:14But they have a gasoline shortage, fuel shortage.
00:17All these problems existed before all this began.
00:20They've just gotten worse.
00:21They will continue to get worse.
00:22And one of the reasons why Iran is a shambler is a risk question.
00:26One of the reasons why Iran is a shambler is because every penny that this regime they're
00:31getting, be it through sanctions relief or through the oil they're able to get out, they invested
00:37in Hezbollah.
00:37They invested in Hamas.
00:39They spent billions of dollars reporting militias in Iraq, Hezbollah, and Hamas.
00:44They could be spending billions of dollars reporting the people of Iraq.
00:47They could be spending themselves building their country.
00:50But instead, they keep a sponsored territory.
00:52So I think there's a growing awareness of that inside of Iran.
00:55And I think there's even a growing awareness of that among some of the people in their
00:58government.
00:58In fact, we had heard that, some of the people in their government.
01:01But obviously, you know, there's a tension here.
01:03And we'll see how that plays out.
01:04I can't tell you how it's going to play out.
01:06It's up to an end.
01:36It's up to an end.
05:43Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazan Garibabadi accused Washington of violating the deal,
05:50saying Iran was suspending its obligations in response.
05:53The latest developments further weaken already fragile diplomatic efforts to prevent a broader
05:59regional war.
06:00Meanwhile, the battlefield continues to expand beyond Jordan.
06:04Kuwaiti authorities reported that Iranian strikes damaged a water desalination plant
06:09and an oil facility, triggering fires and disrupting critical infrastructure.
06:14Officials said several workers and firefighters were injured while responding to multiple blazes.
06:20Kuwait temporarily closed its airspace amid missile threats, forcing airlines to adjust flight schedules.
06:26Elsewhere, Iraqi authorities reported intercepting attack drones over Erbil.
06:31Jordan said its air defense systems shot down incoming Iranian missiles,
06:35while Bahrain and Saudi Arabia also activated emergency warning systems as regional missile threats continued.
06:42The Gulf Cooperation Council strongly condemned the attacks.
06:47Secretary General Jassim Mohammed al-Budawi accused Iran of targeting civilian infrastructure
06:53and described the strikes as war crimes.
06:55The strategic strait of Hormuz also remains a major flashpoint.
07:00Control of the vital shipping route continues to dominate military planning
07:04as both sides seek to secure influence over one of the world's most important energy corridors.
07:11Security analysts warn that every new strike raises the risk of a wider regional confrontation
07:16involving additional countries and critical civilian infrastructure.
07:20With diplomacy stalled, military operations intensifying, and casualties continuing to rise,
07:27fears are growing that the conflict is entering an even more dangerous chapter.
07:32For now, the deaths of two American troops in Jordan underline the mounting human cost of a war
07:38that shows few signs of slowing and continues to push the region closer
07:43to a broader and potentially prolonged confrontation.
