美方要求伊朗周六前承诺停止向霍尔木兹海峡船只开火

Odaily Planet Daily News According to an Axios report, the Trump administration has demanded that Iran issue a public statement by Saturday, confirming that the Strait of Hormuz will remain open and pledging to cease fire on commercial vessels. U.S. officials stated that this demand has been communicated to Iran through direct channels and regional mediators. The U.S. believes that Iran's recent attacks on commercial vessels in and around the Strait of Hormuz violate a memorandum of understanding signed between the two sides just weeks ago, putting the fragile ceasefire agreement at risk of collapse. Reports indicate that Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi and Omani Foreign Minister Busalidi are expected to meet on Saturday in Muscat, the capital of Oman, to discuss the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. hopes that Iran will issue a public statement after this meeting, pledging to cease attacks and confirming that the Strait's shipping lane remains open and free of tolls. U.S. officials stated that recent nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and Iran have made some progress, but the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz has raised U.S. concerns about Iran's ability to adhere to more complex agreements. The U.S. has warned that if Iran refuses these demands, it will take further action.
