Washington has made some progress in the negotiation process with Iran and expects the restoration of free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, reports Fox News.

According to Vice President JD Vance, the United States has made some progress in talks with Iran in recent days. He noted that Washington is using diplomatic, economic, and military tools to achieve a result that will serve American interests.

At the same time, the US vice president emphasized the importance of restoring normal navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.

Vance said that they wanted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to return to prewar levels.

He also noted that the negotiation process with Tehran is complex and may require additional time.

Vance added that the United States continues to use all available tools to achieve its goals in negotiations with Iran.
