Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, says it is in China's interest to pressure the Iranian government to open the Strait of Hormuz.

According to a report by Fox News on Rubio's statements during his trip to China, he said: "We have made this argument to the Chinese, and I hope it is convincing. They will have an opportunity to take action on this issue at the United Nations later this week when a resolution condemning Iran's actions regarding the straits is presented."
Rubio stated that the Iranian government has been building a capacity to disable the defense systems of regional countries with "a multitude of missiles and drones" and to respond to any potential attack on its nuclear program by threatening to inflict widespread damage on Gulf countries.
Marco Rubio also pointed out that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz is more detrimental to China than to any other country, and Beijing should pressure Iran to withdraw from its actions.
