The Iranian Parliament on Sunday approved a measure to close the Strait of Hormuz after the United States bombed three nuclear sites in Iran.
The strait, located between Iran and Oman, remains a critical oil choke point, and closing it could have serious implications for both the global and U.S. economy.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in several Sunday interviews, warned against shutting down the strait, calling the move “suicidal” for the regime. Rubio also called on China — Iran’s most crucial oil customer — to encourage the country against shutting it down.
“I encourage the Chinese government in Beijing to call them about that, because they heavily depend on the Straits of Hormuz for their oil,” Rubio said on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo.”
