Rubio Demands G7 Support to Reopen Strait of Hormuz and Neutralize Iran Nuclear Threat
Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with G7 foreign ministers in France to call for more help in the conflict with Iran. Rubio stated that the U.S. is acting to prevent a regime of religious fanatics from getting nuclear weapons and to stop decades of attacks. He argued that while the U.S. is leading the military response, other nations must help reopen the Strait of Hormuz because they depend on it for energy more than America does. Rubio faced skepticism from European leaders during the talks. He told the ministers that Iran must stop threatening global shipping and that the world should be grateful for U.S. leadership. The Secretary reiterated that the mission is to ensure Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon through maximum cooperation from partners.
