Vance warns US withdrawal from Iran conflict would cause global energy crisis

US Vice President JD Vance warned that an American withdrawal from the war with Iran would trigger a global energy crisis, citing Iran's ongoing attacks on shipping in the region.

• Vance said Iran's continued targeting of vessels means abandoning the region would necessarily mean entering a "global energy crisis."
• Vance affirmed that Washington is protecting its assets in the region and ensuring continued oil and gas flows to global markets.
• Rezaei stated that Tehran does not trust Washington "in any form."
• The statements came on day 92 of the Washington-Tehran memorandum of understanding and day 201 of the war between the two sides.
