The US military has allowed at least 12 ships to pass through its naval blockade of Iran’s ports following the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, Vice President JD Vance says, according to AFP.

“On the blockade, Centcom (US Central Command) has allowed north of a dozen ships to go through our naval blockade, and so we’re also honouring our end of the early part of the agreement,” Vance tells reporters at the White House.
