Following the start of the conflict, Iran has implemented a system to collect levies from ships passing through the vital shipping lane.
Vance acknowledges that toll-free access may be temporary but the plan is to continue discussions with Iran in the coming days for a more permanent solution.
“That’s the sort of thing that we are going to figure out in these technical negotiations,” he adds.
“There are a lot of very important details to figure out that we are actually going to sit at the table and discuss together and figure out a path forward on these details."
