Senior US officials have stated that the US is seeking a public statement from Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz. The statement should affirm that the strait is open and that ships will not be attacked. This demand comes as internal power struggles in Tehran have complicated efforts to reach a deal.

US officials, speaking anonymously, attributed recent strikes to a faction of Iranian hard-liners attempting to disrupt a ceasefire between Tehran and Washington. The situation remains uncertain, with US President Donald Trump recently commenting on the status of the ceasefire deal. Further details on the situation are available from senior US officials and other sources, including the latest statements from President Trump.
