IRNA reported that Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, told Pakistani mediator and army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir on the evening of Oct 20 that not 'a grain' of Iran's enriched uranium would leave the country. Al Jazeera reported US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told US media that a peace deal with Iran is 'extremely difficult' and that economic pressure would continue until Tehran stops targeting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz; Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the strait would stay closed until Washington accepts Iran's conditions, with indirect talks still going through Pakistan and Qatar. Times of Israel reported Netanyahu the same day vowed to topple Iran's regime.
