US foreign minister: All regional countries face threat from Iran's proxies

US foreign minister Marco Rubio said that all countries in the region face threats from Iran's proxies.

He added that there is consensus that Iran's activities in the region are malign, and there is international support for US sanctions on Iran.

Rubio also stated that US President Donald Trump has several options available, including military options, noting that the southern passage of the Strait of Hormuz remains open.

The US foreign minister further said that reaching an agreement with Iran will require hard work over a period of time, and that we will continue to defend the straits and ensure they remain open.
