The U.S. government is demanding that Iran stop threatening international shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the administration wants to reach its goals through diplomacy within a few weeks. This plan focuses on using economic and political pressure instead of sending American ground troops into a new war.
Key Statements

This establishes the administration's specific and urgent timeline for its diplomatic goals.
“We can achieve them without any ground troops, without any.”
This confirms the policy goal of avoiding military escalation while pursuing diplomatic objectives.
