    Question

    US Vice President Vance rules out talks with Iran until merchant ship attacks stop and highlights expanded pressure options

    Direct answer

    A formal US stance ruling out negotiations until shipping attacks cease reduces odds of near‑term de‑escalation, keeping war‑risk premia in energy and freight markets elevated and supporting the dollar as the US leans on economic pressure rather than a political settlement.
