Rubio Rejects Iran Hormuz Proposal as Hezbollah-Israel Clashes Intensify
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for ending the war and lifting the blockade, calling it 'We'll blow you up and you pay us.' Simultaneously, Hezbollah launched drone attacks on Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon, killing one, while the IDF struck over 20 Hezbollah sites, including in the Beqaa Valley.
