The Washington administration demands from Tehran to announce that the Strait of Hormuz is open for navigation, and ships passing through it will not be attacked by Iran.
This was reported by the Reuters agency on Friday, citing American officials. "We demand that the Iranian side acknowledge in a public statement that all passages in the Strait of Hormuz are open and that they are no longer firing at ships. Either they will make such a statement, or it will end badly for them," the American official told reporters.
As mentioned in the article, the US also demands that Iran publicly declare that it does not intend to charge fees for the passage of ships through the strait. According to the information received from Israeli television Axios and Channel 12 reporter Barak Ravid, the US is trying to force Iran to announce this on July 11.
Talks between the United States and Iran have been productive in recent days, US officials said.
