US Vice President JD Vance has indicated that Washington has achieved "progress" in its indirect peace negotiations with Iran. However, Tehran maintains that the United States must first lift its naval blockade and meet their demands before any agreement can be finalized.
Adding to the escalating tensions, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reported that two crude oil tankers caught fire after striking sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz. This incident follows condemnation from Gulf nations regarding Friday's attack on a Qatari liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier.
