US Vice President JD Vance has confirmed that the United States is holding direct negotiations with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz. The Trump administration's aim is to maximize oil and gas flow through the strategic waterway. Vance spoke to Fox News about the discussions, stating that US officials are evaluating potential long-term changes from Iran that could improve diplomatic relations.
Simultaneously, Washington continues to apply pressure on Iran. Vance emphasized the significant impact of the US's military actions, noting that Iran's nuclear program has been destroyed, its conventional military dismantled, and its asymmetric military capabilities drastically reduced. He reiterated that the US will persist in its efforts to ensure "maximum oil" passes through the strait, thereby maintaining low fuel and energy prices for Americans. Vance described the current situation as ongoing, stating, "We're in the middle of the game."
