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 in Oman 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.
