US Vice President JD Vance says that Iran is honouring its end of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding and has not attacked vessels for the second night in a row.

“Their nuclear programme has been completely destroyed. Their capacity for enrichment, the facilities that they were using to develop enrichment and develop potential nuclear weapons, those facilities are still destroyed,” he tells reporters, adding that Iran’s conventional military and capacity to threaten its neighbours is “gone”.
