Vance Says Low Oil Prices Are Top US Goal in Iran Conflict
Vance said keeping oil and gasoline prices low for Americans ranks ahead of stopping Iran’s nuclear program as the Strait of Hormuz standoff continues.
- On Thursday, Vice President Vance told Fox News that keeping oil prices low for Americans is the top United States priority in the Iran war, with preventing Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon ranked second.
- The war centers on control of the Strait and Hormuz, which Iran has forced to the top of the negotiating agenda, creating a volatile standoff between the two countries.
- Citing Kpler data, the Wall Street Journal reported that of 166 transits through the Strait in August, only two used the US-backed route while half concealed tracking data.
- Khatam Anbiya Central Headquarters affirmed the waterway remains under its control, dismissing Washington's claims of 'normal ship movement' through the region as lies.
- Vance criticized Iran for 'failure to honor its commitments,' noting that President Donald Trump favors maintaining strong economic pressure while the military standoff persists.
