Vance: No war, US delays Iran talks
Vice President Mike Pence rejected describing the clashes with Iran as a war and avoided setting a deadline for their end, especially before the upcoming congressional elections in November. He pointed out that the current military operations have been ongoing for six weeks following an escalation linked to American and Israeli strikes on Iran. Tensions in the Gulf continue, with Iran targeting American sites in Kuwait in response to previous attacks. Pence stated that the United States is responsible for carrying out the strikes due to Iran’s attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz. He emphasized that Washington would only resume negotiations with Tehran if the attacks on maritime navigation cease, highlighting the importance of protecting oil transit through the strait, which has seen the passage of around 15 million barrels daily despite rising costs and the impact of these tensions on the global market.
