Progress Made in Strait of Hormuz Talks, Rubio Says Secretary of State Marco Rubio's statement on Tuesday that progress has been made in talks between Iran and Oman on the Strait of Hormuz comes as a surprise to many, given the volatile history of this critical waterway.
The situation remains precarious, with Yemen's Iran backed Houthis claiming responsibility for a drone strike on a sensitive target at an airport in southern Saudi Arabia.
Rubio's comments were made against the backdrop of President Trump's continued threats against Iran, which have been met with significant pushback from regional actors.
