On March 28, according to the AXIOS website citing people familiar with the matter, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said at the G7 foreign ministers 'meeting on Friday that the war with Iran would last for another two to four weeks. Three people familiar with the matter said Rubio said at the G7 foreign ministers 'meeting that the United States is still communicating with Iran through mediators rather than directly contacting. He said it was unclear who would make decisions in Tehran. Rubio added that there are two Iranian officials who want to negotiate with the United States, but need approval from the top leadership. According to people familiar with the matter, Rubio said that the mediator had difficulty communicating with Iranian officials because Iranian officials did not dare to use their mobile phones to avoid being positioned and assassinated, slowing down the pace of communication. He also said the United States was waiting for Iran to clarify who would represent it in possible peace talks. If talks take place, Vice President Vance is likely to lead a U.S. delegation.
