US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said the door to diplomacy remains open even as military operations against Iran intensify. “I think we are always ready for diplomacy,” Rubio said. “It has to be realistic. It has to be a deal they are willing to abide by.”
Speaking to reporters on Sunday local time before travelling to the Philippines, he said Iran was using the Strait of Hormuz as a bargaining tool. “It is clear that Iran wants to control this strait and use it as a bargaining chip,” he said. He added: “The United States will do, and will continue to do, whatever is necessary to protect global shipping.”
