土耳其外交部长：伊朗不是防御协议的目标，只要不攻击成员国，任何人都不是目标。

Iraq's oil minister, Bassim Mohammed Hudayyer, said on Aug 8 that closure of the Strait of Hormuz has reduced Iraq's oil exports by about 75%. Iraq is negotiating with Iran for permission to route its exports but coordination is not yet in effect. Before recent US–Israel–Iran clashes, Iraq shipped roughly 3.4 mln b/d via the Strait of Hormuz; flows via the strait have fallen since the outbreak. Hudayyer said Iraq needs to find solutions to diversify oil export routes.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance told Fox News on Saturday the United States is 'in a contest' with Iran and is employing the full range of tools—diplomatic, economic and military—to secure the best outcome for Americans. He said talks with Iran have made some progress in recent days. The U.S. expects Gulf oil and gas output to return to pre-conflict levels, and Iran has indicated to U.S. officials it intends to do so.
