As the G7 convenes, U.S. diplomat Marco Rubio attempts to garner support for U.S. strategies in the ongoing Iran war, acknowledging skepticism among allies who feel insulted by previous U.S. administration comments. Rubio informs partners that the conflict is expected to last 2 to 4 weeks and emphasizes that U.S. objectives can be achieved without deploying ground troops. Meanwhile, Israel escalates its strikes on Iran, and G7 allies express a desire for a resolution that ensures the security of the Strait of Hormuz. The meeting also consolidates discussions on the Ukraine crisis, indicating a delicate balancing act for U.S. foreign policy in the region.
