Vance Says U.S. Priority Is Keeping Commercial Shipping Through the Strait of Hormuz Open

According to Jin10, U.S. Vice President Vance said Washington's current priority in the war with Iran is to ensure commercial activity can pass freely through the Strait of Hormuz. In an interview with Fox News, he said the U.S. military strike on Larak Island on Sunday was intended to stop Iran from laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz. He also accused Iran's leadership of lacking strategic wisdom in trying to cut off oil and gas exports, said Iranian leaders were "really crazy," and added that Washington had already expected Tehran to take such action.
