Iranian control of Hormus Strait Rubio sets 'dangerous precedent', Rubio warns
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday that Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz would set a "dangerous precedent" with repercussions beyond the Middle East.
"If we create a precedent in the Middle East where a nation-state can decide to control an international waterway, charge a toll, and blow up your ships if you don't pay, we have created a very dangerous precedent that will repeat itself in other parts of the world, including this region," US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Southeast Asian foreign ministers.
