Rubio says US will not strike Iran again for now

rbc.ua (Russian)

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told allied foreign ministers that Washington does not plan further strikes on Iran "for now," signaling a shift in approach. The US believes its naval blockade is strangling Iran's economy while increasing oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Officials say the strategy aims to avoid military conflict while maximizing economic pressure. The policy is expected to continue until after midterm elections, with potential military action reconsidered later. US officials claim Iran has lost control of the strait and is being pressured to return to negotiations.
