Iran’s demands over the Strait of Hormuz would set a dangerous precedent, Rubio warns Asian leaders

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Asian leaders that Iran's demand to control and collect tolls in the Strait of Hormuz could set a dangerous global precedent, threatening the world economy. He emphasized the U.S. commitment to ASEAN and condemned Iran's alleged violations of a failed ceasefire deal. Other diplomats, including Russia's Sergey Lavrov and Australia's Penny Wong, also addressed concerns over the conflict's impact on energy markets and regional stability.
