Iran Holds ‘Nuclear Weapon’? Why US’ Rubio Said This Amid U.S Iran Tensions Over Strait of Hormuz

Marco Rubio has issued a stark wa ing, describing Iran’s strategy in the Strait of Hormuz as an “economic nuclear weapon.” In an interview with Fox News, Rubio argued that Tehran is leveraging its geographic control over one of the world’s most critical النفط routes, through which nearly a quarter of global oil supply passes. Without firing a single missile, Iran can exert pressure on global markets, raising fears of disruption and economic shockwaves. Rubio wa ed that this capability alone gives Iran significant influence, and if combined with actual nuclear weapons, the risks would escalate dramatically. He stressed that any future agreement must impose strict, enforceable limits on Iran’s nuclear program, underscoring Washington’s increasingly hardline stance amid rising geopolitical tensions and conce s over energy security.
