Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a stark warning about Iran’s potential to seize control of the Strait of Hormuz, threatening global shipping and economic stability — a move he says could set a dangerous precedent for maritime freedom. Speaking in Manila alongside ASEAN leaders, Rubio underscored U.S. solidarity with Southeast Asia as tensions rise in the Middle East. He also reinforced the Quad alliance with Australia, India, and Japan, reaffirming shared goals in tech, disaster response, and maritime security to counter China’s expanding influence in the Indo-Pacific. Rubio highlighted upcoming Quad meetings and his talks with India’s foreign minister, including progress on a major trade deal aimed at boosting economic ties — all while positioning the Quad as a cornerstone of regional stability and security.
