Rubio says U.S. is expecting a response from Iran today on proposal to end war
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the U.S. is expecting a response from Iran today on a proposal to end the war.
Speaking to reporters at the U.S. Embassy in Rome, Rubio said: "We should know something today. I mean, we’re expecting a response from them. We’ll see what the response entails."
"The hope is it’s something that it can put us into a serious process of negotiation," said Rubio, adding that the U.S. has seen reporting overnight that Iran is trying to establish some control of traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.
"That would actually be unacceptable," he continued. "And the world has to start asking itself, what is it willing to do if Iran tries to normalize a control of an international waterway? I think that’s unacceptable, so, but we’re expecting a response from them today at some point. We have not received that yet."
