🔺 JD Vance, U.S. Vice President:

"Of course, we are in talks with the Iranians. We are trying to maximize the amount of oil and gas that passes through the Strait of Hormuz. At this stage, we only want to make sure that, from this conflict, we achieve the objectives we need.

We have destroyed their nuclear program, eliminated their conventional military capabilities, and significantly reduced their asymmetric military capabilities.

Now we want to see whether they are willing to make the long-term changes that are necessary to have a better relationship with the United States or not. If they are not willing, that’s fine. We will continue to exert pressure as much as we can, and we will try to get the highest possible amount of oil and gas from the Middle East into the market."
