What happened
President Donald Trump announced a signed agreement with Iran, which Vice President JD Vance confirmed. Vance stated that the fighting between the United States and Iran was not a war and declined to provide a timeline for when the conflict would end. The talks focused on facilitating oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which has been disrupted by Iranian activity since the conflict began.
Why it matters
The potential resolution of the dispute over the Strait of Hormuz is critical as around one-fifth of global LNG trade typically passes through the waterway. Any prolonged disruption to Gulf supplies remains a major concern for global energy markets.
The talks follow a series of escalating exchanges of strikes between the two sides since July, with neither side willing to relinquish control of the strategic waterway.
