US-Israel-Iran War Live News: Rubio Warns Iran Over Strait of Hormuz Demands
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that Iran’s reported demand to control and collect tolls from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz could threaten global trade.
Speaking to Asian leaders in Manila, Rubio said such actions could damage the principle of free navigation in international waters.
He said, “If we create a precedent in the Middle East where a nation state can decide that they are going to control an international waterway, charge a toll and if you don’t pay them, blow up your ships, we have created a very dangerous precedent which will repeat itself in other parts of the world, including in this region.”
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important energy routes, with a significant share of global oil shipments passing through the narrow waterway.
