Foreign ministers from Southeast Asia are set to endorse language on unimpeded passage through international straits, including the Strait of Hormuz, at the conclusion of ASEAN meetings in Manila. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio separately warned ASEAN envoys that Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz would establish a dangerous precedent. The draft text follows the closure of the Strait of Hormuz after US-Israeli strikes on Iran and coincides with a Philippines national emergency declaration over energy shortages.
