Trump has alternated between threats of escalating the war with new strikes and winding down hostilities, and current and former officials say he does not appear to have made up his mind.
Iran has claimed a string of mine strikes on tankers in recent weeks, none independently verified, as it seeks to pressure the US over its blockade.
BEHIND THE LINES: The United States seems to be looking for short-term quiet in return for a tacit acknowledgment of Iran’s ascendant position in Iraq.
"This is an extraordinary historic danger and one that cannot be ignored because I know we think it's half a world away, but nothing is half a world away anymore. Nothing is," Rubio said.
Iranian media reported on Thursday that four oil tankers were hit by explosions in the waterway vital for global shipping, adding that the vessels had ignored warnings.
The IAEA said it "does not know [the] Isfahan Fuel Enrichment Plant's exact location, status for safeguards purposes, or whether it contains nuclear material."
The Guards said the strike was in retaliation for what they described as an air attack on a telecommunications tower in Iran's southern Sirik county, in Hormozgan province.
The president claimed that the US controls the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, and that the blockade it imposed on Iran is severely damaging its economy.
Iranian state media claimed on Tuesday that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had carried out strikes destroying "enemy navigation systems" on Didamar island.
Tankers are still facing attacks across the strait, despite a rebound in traffic and expectations of a de-escalation in the war between the United States and Iran.
