Strait of Hormuz Could Open “Tomorrow” if Iran Backs Down - Marco Rubio

Secretary of State Marco Rubio pushed back against threats from Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, saying the vital global shipping route could reopen “tomorrow” if Tehran stops targeting international vessels. Rubio argued the disruption is entirely within Iran’s control and warned that continued threats against maritime traffic only deepen the crisis affecting global energy markets and regional stability. The Strait of Hormuz carries a significant share of the world’s oil and gas supply, making its security a major concern for the international economy. Rubio emphasized that the United States and its allies are prepared to ensure the waterway remains open, framing the issue as a test of whether Iran will de-escalate tensions or continue actions that risk broader global consequences.
