Rubio says Hormuz strait will reopen ‘one way or the other’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTop US diplomat Marco Rubio insists that the blockaded Strait of Hormuz will reopen “one way or the other,” after fresh US strikes on Iran cast doubt on an accord to end the Mideast war.
“The straits have to be open. They’re going to be open one way or the other, so they need to be open,” Rubio tells reporters in the Indian city of Jaipur, where he is making an official visit.
“What’s happening there is unlawful, it’s illegal, it’s unsustainable for the world, it’s unacceptable,” he says.
