U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says China should encourage Iran not to close the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important energy corridors connecting the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea.
Rubio made the comments in an interview on Fox News on June 22, a day after Iran’s state-run Press TV reported that Tehran had approved a measure to close the strait, pending a final decision by the country’s Supreme National Security Council.
