United States President JD Vance shared on Saturday that Tehran told Washington it will allow maximum oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz, though he added that the US will not trust Iran until it proves otherwise. “We’re obviously not at the beginning. We’re in the middle of the game, and we’re applying a whole host of tools, diplomatic, economic, military tools, to ensure that we get the best outcome for the American people,” Vance told Fox News, adding that Iranians are “hurting in a big way,” and they want “this thing to be over.” Moreover, the vice president also shared that Iran notified the US administration that it has no intention of imposing fees in the Strait of Hormuz. He also touched on the ongoing negotiations between Iran and Oman regarding the management of the strait, adding that the biggest concern at the moment is demining of the vital shipping route.

Iran’s FM: No talks with US until it abides by MoU
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stressed on Sunday that Tehran will not engage in negotiations with the United States until it continues to violate the memorandum of understanding (MoU) reached on June 12.
“We are not currently negotiating with the US. The exchange of messages is taking place through intermediaries, but this process is not called negotiation,” the minister said.
Araghchi also addressed talks with Oman on the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing that they are not aimed at reopening the waterway, but at establishing the route to be used if the strait is reopened.
