US demands Iran publicly declare Strait of Hormuz open and cease attacks by Saturday deadline.
The Trump administration set a Saturday deadline for Iran to issue a public statement that all channels of the Strait of Hormuz are open and that it will stop firing on commercial ships. Iranian officials privately acknowledged to US advisers that attacks on shipping were a mistake by hardline elements seeking to undermine negotiations. Iran's foreign minister is scheduled to meet with Omani officials on Saturday to discuss the crisis.
