Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Friday that any ships targeting American vessels will "get blown up" as tensions simmer in the Strait of Hormuz and the US waits on Iran to respond to its proposed framework to end the war. “If they cross or they threaten Americans, they’re going to get blown up,” Rubio told reporters in Rome after meeting with Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni. He further said that Washington was expecting Iran's response to its proposed memorandum of understanding for peace negotiations. “We’ll see what the response entails," he said. "The hope is it’s something that can put us into a serious process of negotiation."
