U.S. Vice President JD Vance told Fox News that Iran has not struck any vessels in the past two weeks, according to reports cited by Israeli media. The remark comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran talks and follows a string of Vance statements defending the emerging agreement.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance asserted in a Fox News interview that Iran has not attacked any ships in the past two weeks, Israeli media reported. The statement reinforces the administration's narrative of détente in the maritime arena as Washington pursues a comprehensive deal with Tehran. Vance did not specify whether the claim covered military or civilian vessels, or the broader Gulf region. The remark follows a series of Vance statements in recent days defending the emerging U.S.-Iran framework and pushing back against critics who argue Tehran has not curbed aggressive behavior. A U.S. official had similarly said earlier this month that Iranian strikes caused no American casualties or significant damage to facilities, as The Zioneer reported on June 10. The White House has not issued a separate clarification.
