Secretary of State Rubio tours Gulf states to reassure allies on Iran deal framework.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Gulf Cooperation Council nations to reassure allies that a preliminary US-Iran accord would not undermine their security. The interim agreement, signed the previous week, aims to end the conflict that began on February 28, 2026, and has led to a partial lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil exports. Oil prices have fallen to pre-war levels below $73 per barrel following the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
