Marco Rubio Can’t Believe U.S. Is Reaping What It Sowed In Iran
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz could set a precedent for other countries to block international shipping lanes. Rubio acknowledged the US war with Iran has negatively impacted the global economy and led to Iran's closure of the strait.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed concern that Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz could lead to other countries blocking international shipping lanes. The strait, a vital artery for the world's oil supply, was closed after the US started a war with Iran in February. Rubio acknowledged the war has had a negative impact on the US economy. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth contradicted Rubio, stating that Iran is not in control of the strait, citing two US commercial ships that safely transited it. Traffic in the strait remains a fraction of pre-war levels. Rubio warned that a nuclear-armed Iran would be even more problematic, but noted that even without nuclear weapons, Iran is effectively controlling the strait.
