The United States will not permit Iran to establish indefinite control over the Strait of Hormuz, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that the Secretary of State made these remarks during an interview with ABC News, emphasizing Washington's commitment to maintaining regional stability and the free flow of international trade.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most strategically important chokepoints, serving as the primary maritime route for oil exports from the Persian Gulf. Approximately one-fifth of the world's total oil consumption passes through this narrow waterway daily. Ensuring the security of this passage remains a cornerstone of US foreign policy and global energy security, as any disruption could lead to significant volatility in international energy markets.
