There are international calls to seek a diplomatic solution amid rising tensions in the Middle East and to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. That's according to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and key international allies who discussed the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel.
Rubio met with British Foreign Minister David Lammy and held separate calls with Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot, and Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani to discuss the ongoing conflict.
They all agreed that "Iran can never develop or acquire a nuclear weapon."
Lammy emphasized that while the Middle East "remains perilous" and that a "window now exists within the next two weeks to achieve a diplomatic solution."
