Vance Warns US Will Not Engage with Iran Until They Cease Attacks on Ships in Strait of Hormuz

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, speaking at a press briefing in Washington, D.C., declared that the United States will not engage in diplomatic talks with Iran unless Iran halts its attacks on commercial and military vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The statement was made in response to recent Iranian missile and drone strikes on ships in the strategic waterway. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, and the attacks have raised concerns about regional stability.
