The US has made progress in negotiations with Iran, but Vice President Vance warned that the conflict is still "in the middle of the game". According to The Hill, Vance said that while progress has been made, the war is far from over.
The Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway through which around a fifth of the world's oil and natural gas flows, has been effectively blockaded by Iran since the US and Israel began attacking it in February.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said talks with Oman on a new route through the strait were in their final stages, but a full reopening of the waterway depended on other conditions being met, including Iran receiving compensation from the US for alleged violations of a June deal to cease fighting and advance talks to end the war, as reported by BBC World and BBC News.
