Iran says it intends to maintain control over Strait of Hormuz as U.S. talks end

Iran stated it intends to maintain control over the Strait of Hormuz following the conclusion of talks with the U.S. in Switzerland. The discussions addressed the ongoing Middle East conflict. No final agreement was announced.

Vance said the talks created a "very good foundation" for a final deal to end the conflict. He added that Washington has suspended sanctions on Iranian oil. The suspension removes a prior restriction on Iranian oil exports. No timeline was given for further steps.
