U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday said there were “fractures” in Iran’s new leadership, as President Donald Trump described talks between Washington and Tehran as progressing.

Early on March 30, Trump wrote on Truth Social that his administration is now engaged in negotiations with a more reasonable group of people in charge of the Iranian regime, coming as the war with the country has surpassed the one-month mark. Since the start of the Feb. 28 conflict, the U.S. and Israeli militaries have killed dozens of Iranian officials, including then-top leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
