Marco Rubio, Minister of Foreign Affairs:

We are participating in negotiations taking place between Oman and Iran, and the subject of these negotiations is how more ships can be safely transited through the Strait of Hormuz in the short term while we move toward long-term negotiations on nuclear disarmament.

Progress has been made in the negotiations to reopen the strait, but we have not yet reached a final agreement.

We hope that the agreement will be finalized soon.
