U.S. calls on China to prevent Iran from closing straight of Hormuz and disrupting global oil flows.

Now, Iran government poised to shut it down, closing off 20% of global oil and gas.

And this is what Rubio had to say about this. Go for it, Rob.

No way we were leaving that for future generations.

The Secretary, final question here.

Do you expect Iran to move to close the Strait of Hormuz to try to disrupt oil transportation

across the world?

Well, I encourage the Chinese government in Beijing to call them about that because

they heavily depend on the Straits of Hormuz for their oil.

If they do that, it will be another terrible mistake.

It's economic suicide for them if they do it.

And we retain options to deal with that.

But other countries should be looking at that as well.

It would hurt other countries' economies a lot worse than ours.

It would be, I think, a massive escalation that would have merit a response, not just by us, but from others.

So, look, they're going to say what they need to say.

You know, these are the things that need to happen for their own internal politics and so forth.

But in the end, we're going to judge them by the actions that they take moving forward.

We had three objectives.

We struck those three objectives with decisive force. And that was the point of this mission.

And that's what we achieved.

What happens next will depend on what they do.
