Meeting outside Paris, G7 foreign ministers adopted a declaration calling for an immediate halt to attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure and for permanently restoring free and safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called Iran's planned Hormuz tolls illegal and unacceptable and told allies they must be ready to act.

Why it matters

Rubio told allies the U.S. was ready to be part of a plan to confront Iran's Hormuz tolls but did not have to lead it, signaling a shift of the burden onto countries that rely on the strait.
