The US wants Iran to publicly state that the Strait of Hormuz is open and to pledge to stop firing on commercial ships as part of negotiations due to be held on Saturday.
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.
Iran has said that an “errant” group of hardliners had tried to undermine negotiations by firing on commercial ships earlier this week, senior US officials told CBS News.
One official told the US TV network: “They came back to the table and said, ‘We screwed up. We made a mistake. Let’s keep talking.'”

The Washington administration demands that Tehran publicly declare that the Strait of Hormuz is open to navigation, and ships passing through it will not be attacked by the Iranian side, Reuters reported, citing its unnamed US official sources.
ReplyDelete"What we're demanding is that the Iranians issue a public statement that acknowledges all channels of the Strait of Hormuz are open and they're not shooting at ships anymore," the agency quoted one of its official sources as saying. "They're either going to give us that statement or we're not having a good outcome for them."
