Rubio Vows Hormuz Will Stay Open

Secretary of State Marco Rubio insists the Strait of Hormuz will stay open regardless of Iran’s demands, slamming Tehran’s proposed “tolling system” as unacceptable to global trade. Despite recent U.S. strikes framed as self-defense, Rubio confirms talks are still underway — with regional allies backing a preliminary deal framework. The president’s line remains clear: either a strong deal or no deal. Key terms include Iran handing over or destroying enriched uranium — dubbed “nuclear dust.” Meanwhile, Iran’s new Supreme Leader vows regional nations won’t serve as U.S. military shields, signaling a deeper regional power shift. Rubio’s message: diplomacy is still alive — but time is running out. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
