US Secretary of State Rubio Highlights Effectiveness of Economic Pressure on Iran at G7 Meeting
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told G7 foreign ministers that the US economic sanctions and naval blockade against Iran are inflicting extraordinary and growing economic pain, reducing Tehran's ability to fund regional activities and militias. Rubio said this pressure makes major combat operations unnecessary for now, though the US remains ready to respond if Iran crosses red lines. He emphasized openness to diplomacy if Iran changes its demands, which he described as currently unrealistic. Gulf countries and Qatar have engaged in diplomatic efforts to ease tensions, while Rubio urged international cooperation to secure the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing threats.
