Rubio confirmed today, Friday, that President Donald Trump has all options to deal with Iran, including the deployment of ground troops if necessary, but he noted that the United States is capable of achieving its objectives without ground intervention.

Rubio stated in press remarks that the military operation in Iran "will end within weeks, not months", affirming that his country is making significant progress ahead of the planned timeline, and that all objectives will be achieved soon. He added that the Iranians "deserve a better system than the current regime", emphasizing that the Iranian system has used its wealth to target the United States instead of building bridges with the world.

Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Rubio warned that Iran might decide to impose fees on the passage of ships, calling for the reopening of the strait with the participation of all concerned countries.

He confirmed that the United Kingdom and other partners played a role in keeping international waters open, denying having requested the G7 to contribute ships to "clear the strait", but he urged them to prepare for a potential role in the post-war phase with Iran.
