"Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon. The Strait of Hormuz is an international waterway, and what they are doing now is basically they are threatening to destroy commercial vessels using an international waterway that is illegal under any concept of international law," said Rubio.
Earlier in the day, US President Donald Trump also spoke of an agreement "largely negotiated" with Iran that would include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. He however, did not give much details on it.
