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.
