US seeks Iranian pledge to halt ship attacks in Strait of Hormuz

Vice‑President JD Vance is slated to join a delegation of United States officials at talks set to resume on Saturday in Muscat, Oman. The meeting marks the restart of a series of negotiations that were paused earlier this year, with the Omani government acting as a neutral venue for the dialogue.

The discussions are expected to focus on regional security issues and diplomatic pathways that have been under consideration by the parties involved. U.S. participation, highlighted by the presence of the vice‑president, underscores Washington’s continued engagement in the effort to achieve a sustainable resolution. The outcome of the talks will be monitored by international observers for any indications of progress toward broader stability in the region.
