It was put together by a number of partners who wanted to attend and be a part of it,&#8221; Rubio said when taking questions from reporters on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I saw conflicting reports yesterday from the Iranian side saying that they had not agreed to that.

Additionally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2026\/02\/03\/iran-us-nuclear-negotiations-format\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Axios reported<\/a> that Iranian officials were pressing to limit the talks to a bilateral U.S.-Iran format, excluding other Arab and regional countries \u2014 a move that could complicate U.S. diplomatic efforts in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio would not say what topics had been agreed on. Rather, he laid out matters that, in his view, would need to be discussed in order for the meeting to &#8220;actually lead to something meaningful.&#8221; The topics on Rubio&#8217;s list include the range of Iran&#8217;s ballistic missiles, its sponsorship of terror organizations, its nuclear program and the treatment of its people.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/iranian-media-claims-drone-shot-down-us-conducting-surveillance-routine-lawful-mission\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IRANIAN MEDIA CLAIMS DRONE SHOT DOWN BY US WAS CONDUCTING SURVEILLANCE IN A &#8216;ROUTINE AND LAWFUL MISSION&#8217;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The secretary also spoke about the anti-regime protests that have raged in Iran since late December. When the demonstrations began, President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/person\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a> said the U.S. would act if protesters were met with violence. Rubio credited Trump&#8217;s tough talk with the cancellation of protesters&#8217; executions, something that the regime has denied.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Iranian people and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/world\/conflicts\/iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iranian regime<\/a> are very unalike,&#8221; Rubio said. &#8220;The leadership of Iran at the clerical level does not reflect the people of Iran.
