U.S. Vice President JD Vance told Fox News Iran has informed Washington it currently has no plan to impose transit fees on the Strait of Hormuz. He said some within the Iranian establishment discuss levies, but Tehran has denied any plan. Vance added Washington expects Gulf oil and gas exports to return to pre-war levels, that Gulf states share that objective, and that the U.S. will judge actions rather than words.

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.

During a visit to Serbia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the US has agreed to deliver Patriot interceptor missiles to Ukraine on a monthly basis, but that this supply alone will not fully close Kyiv’s current shortfall of interceptors.
