"One of the immediate challenges we're going to face is in Iran, when they decide that they want to set up a tolling system in the Strait of Hormuz. Not only is this illegal, it's unacceptable. It's dangerous for the world, and it's important that the world have a plan to confront it."
"The United States is prepared to be a part of that plan. We don't have to lead that plan, but we are happy to be a part of it."
"The Strait of Hormuz is a key artery for the global transport of oil and natural gas, and prior to the start of the US and Israel's war against Iran on February 28, an average of 20 million barrels of oil per day passed through the waterway."
Rubio reiterated Trump's call for international participation in securing the Strait of Hormuz, condemning Iran's plans for a tolling system in this critical waterway. He described the situation as illegal and dangerous, urging G7 nations and Asian countries to contribute to a security plan. The Strait of Hormuz is vital for global oil transport, with 20 million barrels passing through daily before the conflict. Iran's threats have significantly disrupted tanker traffic, raising concerns over global oil supply stability.
