Rubio backs blockade, Vance wants a deal: Is Trump’s team split on Iran war?
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US economic campaign against Iran was effective enough to make large-scale military operations unnecessary, and urged G7 allies to help protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said further strikes were unlikely, while Vice President JD Vance favours a deal. US-Iran negotiations have largely stalled for months as Washington maintains sanctions and a blockade of Iranian ports.
