U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said during a visit to Greece that the Strait of Hormuz remained open to commercial vessels and that oil flows were nearly back to their pre-conflict level. He said Iran had lost complete control of the waterway, according to CBS News.
Why it matters
Rubio's public position directly contests Iran's closure claim and sets the U.S. diplomatic line for commercial shipping access through Hormuz.
