- JD Vance said Saturday there has been "some progress over the last few days" in Iran-Oman negotiations on reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
- The Strait of Hormuz is a "critical trading passage" and has been a "key sticking point" in negotiations to end the months-long conflict, per Vance.
Why it matters: Vance's hedged "some progress" formulation on the Hormuz reopening — the one chokepoint he's calling the "key sticking point" in ending the months-long conflict — signals movement but no imminent deal, keeping a critical global trading passage in limbo.
