Spain closed its airspace to American flights involved in Iran operations.

Communication between Washington and Tehran is continuing, largely indirectly.

Rubio reiterated US demands that Iran abandon its nuclear weapons ambitions.

Rubio vowed the Strait of Hormuz will be kept open one way or another.

It will be open because Iran agrees to abide by international law, or a coalition will make sure it is open.
