Rubio defends Trump’s war in Iran: ‘not necessarily popular but necessary’

What's behind this

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday that the country's two‑day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz remains on the table and that Iran's position in negotiations is clear and transparent. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran is open to dialogue but will not yield to force or bullying, insisting any talks be based on justice and equal terms. The United States' ongoing conflict, which has been defended by its top diplomat despite criticism over higher energy prices linked to Strait disruptions, provides a backdrop.
