“The latest signs are encouraging, but I’m not popping champagne yet,” Rubio said Friday.

“I don’t want to exaggerate it, but there’s been a little bit of movement, and that’s good,” he said, while stressing he doesn’t “want to be overly optimistic.”

Rubio’s measured tone carries a stark red line: Iran’s efforts to impose what it terms a “tolling system” in the Strait of Hormuz.

However, Rubio warned that the window won’t be open forever, and Washington is keeping another option on the table

Rubio called the notion a nonstarter, saying it would make diplomacy difficult and would reach well beyond the region.
