According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, Rubio, speaking at the summit in Manama, stated that Washington intends to initiate a new phase in its relations with Tehran.
The US Secretary of State emphasized that the United States is prepared for a constructive dialogue aimed at de-escalating tensions and building a relationship based on mutual trust.
