Vance Says Iran to Allow IAEA Inspectors Back
On Monday, U.S. Vice President JD Vance said that crude oil and natural gas are flowing through the Strait of Hormuz. “We wanted to build a mechanism for keeping the Strait of Hormuz open. It is open,” he said after the first session of U.S.-Iran talks concluded.
Gas prices and oil prices come down, millions and millions of barrels of crude and natural gas are flowing through the Strait of Hormuz that weren’t flowing before, he added.
The Strait of Hormuz handles roughly 20 percent of the world’s seaborne oil flows. Iran tightened its grip on the Strait of Hormuz after Israel and the U.S. launched their joint strikes on Iran on Feb. 28. The U.S. imposed a naval blockade targeting ships going to and from Iran.
Vance also said that the Iranians have agreed to invite the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors back into their country. Calling this “a major milestone,” Vance said it is the first step in permanently denuclearizing or permanently ending a nuclear weapons program in Iran.
The speaker of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, stated that U.S. threats have no effect on Iran and that no matter what the U.S. government says, it is the Iranians who take action.#Iran #UnitedStates #teleSUREnglish pic.twitter.com/kDJzaCd4wd
