# US Secretary of State Marco Rubio say they are still willing to negotiate an end to the Iranian crisis, but Tehran is not serious about talks. The widening conflict disrupted two of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints. Rubio made his comments during a meeting of Southeast Asian Foreign ministers, a day after three oil tankers carrying Saudi crude to Asia turned around in the Red Sea, apparently in response to threats from Yemen’s Iranian-aligned Houthis. The Houthis announced a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia on Monday.
