Secretary of State Marco Rubio met G7 foreign ministers in France as the escalating Iran war dominated discussions, reported by the BBC. Washington faces growing pressure from allies to de-escalate tensions amid fears of economic fallout and energy disruptions.
According to Rubio, G7 nations must take stronger action to address Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for nearly 20% of global oil and gas supplies. He stressed that countries committed to international law should respond more firmly.
