What happened
Vance sees progress in the talks, while Tehran says the US must lift its naval blockade and meet its demands in full before an agreement can be reached. No agreement is announced.

Global impact
No market reaction is reported. Uncertainty around Iran and the naval blockade can usually affect global crude prices and risk sentiment.
