WATCH: Sen. Murphy presses Rubio on what it will take to reopen the Strait of Hormuz

Published | Video Starts at 01:52

There isn't a country on Earth other than Iran and maybe Oman that flirted with it, who's in favor of what Iran is doing in the straits. The Chinese are against it. The Russians are against it. Everyone is against it. The whole world is against it. So condition number one is they have to reopen the straits. (01:52–01:56)

CLAIM

Asserts that no countries, except possibly Oman, support Iran's actions in the straits.
