Rubio: The Strait of Hormuz can quickly resume full passage as long as Iran stops threatening global shipping
[U.S. Secretary of State Rubio was asked whether the strait could be reopened without deploying ground troops or involving U.S. military forces]
"This is a matter of military tactics. I won't go into specific means required. As long as Iran ceases threatening international shipping, the strait could be open tomorrow.
Such actions are a blatant violation of international law for all nations that value it, and they should take action accordingly.
It doesn't affect us significantly. As I mentioned, the proportion of U.S. energy transported through the Strait of Hormuz is extremely low. The countries that truly need the strait to remain open are others around the world."
