US expects Iran to ensure safe oil flow through Strait of Hormuz: Vance
Washington expects a deal soon as Iran and Oman discuss restoring commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, where disruption has lifted oil prices and inflation.
- On Friday, a U.S. official reported progress in talks between Iran and Oman on the Strait of Hormuz, saying Washington expects an agreement shortly to lift its blockade of Iranian ports.
- Before the United States and Israel launched the war on Iran on February 28, about one out of every five barrels of oil consumed worldwide transited the Strait. Iran subsequently used the conflict to justify charging tolls and firing on tankers.
- Abu Dhabi National Oil Company reported Friday that 15 of its vessels were struck in unprovoked attacks while transiting the Strait since the conflict began, killing one crew member and wounding 20 others.

- Internal divisions between Iran's civilian President Masoud Pezeshkian and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps may complicate peace efforts. Central Command has reported no strikes on Iran since July 29, though such fissures suggest implementation challenges ahead.
