JD Vance: Iran confirms no intention to shut Strait of Hormuz
US Vice President JD Vance stated that Iran has given assurances to the US that it does not intend to block the Strait of Hormuz. Vance noted, "But we’re going to see what actions actually happen." He further mentioned that the US is pushing for a pledge from Iran to refrain from attacking merchant ships. In the meantime, Iran has indicated that the strait will be reopened once the US "corrects its behaviour."
