EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
US and Iranian officials held diplomatic talks in Qatar on ending the conflict as military forces clashed near the crucial Strait of Hormuz.
Rubio reiterated U.S. warnings that the Strait of Hormuz must be reopened “one way or the other” when asked by a reporter about the U.S. strikes on Iran.
“The straits have to be open, they’re going to be open,” he said during a trip to India. “What’s happening there is unlawful, it’s illegal, it’s unsustainable for the world, it’s unacceptable.”
