On June 25, 2026, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed strong opposition to Iran's decision to implement tolls for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking during a meeting in Manama with the counterparts from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Rubio warned that this move could lead to significant disruptions in international shipping.

Rubio cautioned that if tolls were to be imposed in the Strait of Hormuz, it could set a precedent that might extend to other maritime passages, potentially creating "absolute chaos" in global navigation. His remarks highlighted the United States' commitment to maintaining the freedom of navigation in crucial waterways and underscored the potential ramifications for international trade and security should Iran's toll policy be enacted.
