'Leverage against the world': Rubio claims Iran wants to 'weaponise' Strait of Hormuz
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasised the importance of global cooperation in safeguarding maritime security, warning that Iran aims to assert control over the Strait of Hormuz for strategic leverage. In response to this threat, the US military executed strikes against Iranian command centers. Subsequently, a vessel caught fire in the strait, leading Bahrain to activate missile alerts over fears of possible Iranian counterattacks.
