For nearly two decades, the question of who should move first in Iran-US diplomacy has haunted the relationship. The vice president's efforts are part of an attempt to restore momentum to negotiations that have lost pace, particularly as both nations have become heavily involved in broader diplomatic efforts.
The vice president's efforts come as oil prices have been affected by the diplomatic situation. Oil prices have slid as traders bet on potential progress in Iran-US diplomacy, while markets are increasingly pricing in a prolonged period of elevated oil prices well into 2027.
The vice president's visit is also part of a broader effort to push for de-escalation in the Middle East and freedom of navigation through key waterways like the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb waterway.
