The Vice President of the United States, JD Vance, stated this Thursday that the oil flow through the Strait of Ormuz had returned almost to the levels prior to the conflict with Iran. Vance made the statement at a press conference at the White House.
According to Vance, three months ago, under Iranian threats, practically no oil and gas was leaving the strait. He highlighted that now the flow is almost back to levels before the start of the war.
The Vice President also downplayed the regular confrontations in the region, which have been occurring for six months since the start of hostilities. When asked whether the war would end before the US midterm elections in November, Vance said: "I would not call this a war. At this moment, there are no active firefights."
