UAE accuses Iran of Hormuz attacks as Vance says cheap gas are "goal number one"

The UAE has accused Iran of attacking two vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Simultaneously, Vice President JD Vance stated that maintaining low oil and gas prices is now the United States' primary goal regarding the conflict with Iran. Washington has threatened to intensify economic pressure on Tehran and signaled the possibility of an indefinite naval blockade. These developments come as the US warns it will step up both military and economic pressure against the Iranian government.
