  • Rubio says G7 nations should back reopening of Strait of Hormuz

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Thursday that it was necessary for all G7 nations to push for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz currently blocked by Iran. 

Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State said “They should be doing something about it. Well, it's not help for us. Like I said, very little of our energy comes through the Straits of Hormuz. It's the world that has a great interest in that, and so they should step up and deal with it." 

Rubio also added that there was progress in talks with Iran, but refused to speculate on when they might end.

Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State said "There are intermediary countries that are passing messages and progress has been made. So again, there's been some progress in regard to the exchange of messages, but that's an ongoing and fluid process and not one we're going to negotiate or talk about in the media." 

The other G7 members on Thursday signaled their hope for a diplomatic solution to the situation in Iran, which has rippled through the global economy due to the virtual closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
