US Vice President JD Vance announced that Washington has established mechanisms to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, ensuring the passage of approximately 15 million barrels of oil daily, which has helped lower oil and gasoline prices. Vance also stated that the US is cooperating with Israel and Gulf Arab countries to maintain a regional ceasefire and is working to strengthen nuclear monitoring with Iran after it allowed inspectors access for the first time in a long while.
