Vice President JD Vance said the US will not resume talks with Iran until attacks on commercial vessels attributed to Tehran stop. He said recent US action was intended to make it harder for Iran to fire on shipping and protect oil and gas flows, while major combat operations against Iran have not been ongoing for a long time.

US Vice President JD Vance said European militaries cannot protect merchant ships from Iranian shelling in the Strait of Hormuz or help stabilize global energy markets, contributing to higher fuel prices. He said about 15 million barrels of oil crossed the strait the previous day despite continued Iranian fire. Energy Secretary Chris Wright had said shipments exceeded 17 million barrels on September 1.

Iran’s foreign minister previously said no meeting was planned and reports of one were baseless.
