What happened: Iran said no enriched nuclear material will leave its territory, and a senior official said there will be no negotiations until the US meets Iran's conditions. Why it matters: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said a peace deal is extremely difficult and economic pressure will continue until Tehran stops targeting commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's foreign minister warned the strait will stay closed unless Washington accepts Tehran's conditions.
