US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that ongoing discussions with Iran are progressing through message exchanges facilitated by intermediary countries. Speaking to reporters, he confirmed that some progress had been made but emphasized that the process remains ongoing and evolving, and would not be discussed publicly.

Rubio also commented on the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, noting that maritime traffic there is gradually increasing. He stated that while fuel transport has not fully returned to previous levels, some shipments have resumed. Rubio added that if Iran stops threatening global navigation, the strait could reopen completely as soon as tomorrow.

Highlighting the importance of adherence to international law, Rubio urged countries concerned about global legal norms to take appropriate action in response to the situation.
