伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬：问题不能仅靠战争解决。致力于根据谅解备忘录的条款推进和平进程。

U.S. Vice President Vance said on the 8th that talks with Iran are ongoing and the U.S.-Iran confrontation remains in the "mid-game." He told Fox News the conflict has not ended but has moved beyond the opening phase. Washington is deploying diplomatic, economic and military measures to secure the best outcome. Vance said the U.S. priority is to maximize oil and gas flows through the Strait of Hormuz and is watching whether Iran will make the long-term changes needed to improve relations; if not, the U.S. will continue to apply pressure. He added the U.S. is working to establish a navigation mechanism to ensure safe passage for vessels, including mine-clearing, which would also require Iran to commit not to fire on merchant ships.

Oman's state news agency said ongoing negotiations on arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz are positive and constructive.
