Rubio: Iran is using Hormuz as a means of pressure, other countries must do more

It's clear that Iran, or at least part of it, wants to control the strait and use it as a anti-world lever. The United States is doing and will continue to do what is necessary to protect global shipping, but other countries must start to do more and provide resources or resources to contribute to this burden”, Rubio said.

The chief of American diplomacy made these comments before his departure to the Philippines, where he will attend the meeting of the foreign ministers of the Southeast Asian Nations Association (ASEAN). He stressed that protecting one of the world's most important trade routes should not remain only the responsibility of the United States. /Periscopi/
