This change came after President Donald Trump expressed optimism about resolving the eight-month-long war. Rubio attributed the decision to the devastating economic impact the US sanctions had on Iran, making further combat operations unnecessary. Iran's efforts to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, a key exit route for Gulf energy shipments, have caused oil prices to soar, contributing to the political fallout for Trump's Republicans during the recent midterm elections.

Iran has offered to reopen the Hormuz Strait within two days if the US agrees to its demands, which include ending the war, unfreezing its assets, lifting oil sanctions, and lifting the US blockade of its ports. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stressed that military means and intensified sanctions are not the solution and that diplomatic engagement and addressing Iran's demands are the only ways to resolve the conflict.",
