Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened \u201cone way or another,\u201d as the U.S. and Iran work through the final stage of peace negotiations despite rising tensions in the region.<\/p>\n

Mr. Rubio, while traveling overseas, said no country in the world supports a tolling system in the strait except for Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re going to be open one way or the other. So they need to be open, what\u2019s happening there is unlawful, it\u2019s illegal, it\u2019s unsustainable for the world, it\u2019s unacceptable,\u201d Mr. Rubio told reporters. \u201cI don\u2019t know of any country in the world that does it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump is working with Middle East partners on a draft deal that would extend a ceasefire with Iran and give space for negotiations over Tehran\u2019s nuclear ambitions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there\u2019s strong alignment and agreement on what a preliminary draft should look like,\u201d Mr. Rubio said, adding it could take \u201ca couple of days\u201d to settle on the wording. \u201cIt\u2019s either going to be a good deal or there isn\u2019t going to be one.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S. officials expressed hope for a deal despite a new flare-up in the region.<\/p>\n\n

U.S. forces struck missile launch sites and other targets in southern Iran on Monday, a move the military described as defensive to protect American troops.<\/p>\n

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei responded to the strikes by saying U.S. military bases in the Middle East will no longer be safe, according to state media.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, Mr. Trump said he wants countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan to join the Abraham Accords as part of any deal. The accords are a series of pacts normalizing relations between Israel and Arab or Muslim-majority nations in the region, though the demand could complicate negotiations.<\/p>\n

The U.S. and Israel launched a military campaign against Iran on Feb. 28 to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and constrain its missile program and support for Middle East terror proxies.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump is squeezing Iran economically with a blockade of maritime ports.<\/p>\n

U.S. consumers, meanwhile, are seeing higher gas prices due to rising oil prices caused by reduced traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

The U.S. average price of a gallon of gas stood at $4.49 on Tuesday, down from $4.53 a week ago but up 51% from when the war started, according to the AAA motor club.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump says gas prices will plummet when the war is resolved. He points to pent-up oil supplies around the world.<\/p>\n

Mr. Rubio said the world agrees with the U.S. in its demand to reopen the strait without tolls.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Russians are not in favor of a tolling system, the Chinese are not in favor of a tolling system. I mean, there\u2019s no country in the world that\u2019s in favor of a tolling system, except for the regime in Iran. So that\u2019s not acceptable, that cannot happen,\u201d he said. \u201cThe straits need to be open, unimpeded, without tools. And obviously, that needs to happen immediately as soon as anything is agreed to.\u201d<\/p>\n
