(BBC) – The US wants Iran to publicly state that the Strait of Hormuz is open and to pledge to stop firing on commercial ships.
US media cited unnamed officials as saying Tehran had privately acknowledged to President Donald Trump’s advisers that the shooting at ships was a mistake, though the Iranians reportedly pinned the blame on a rogue internal group.
Trump has said both sides have agreed to continue talks despite this week’s fighting over the Strait of Hormuz, which the White House saw as a violation of the ceasefire.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said his country had “kept its word” on the ceasefire, saying on X that the US had violated the deal.
