Senior US officials have stated that the US is seeking a public statement from Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz. The statement would need to affirm that the strait is open and that ships passing through will not be attacked.

Internal power struggles in Tehran have reportedly made it challenging to reach and maintain a deal. The US officials, who spoke anonymously, mentioned that a faction of Iranian hard-liners attempted to disrupt the ceasefire between Tehran and Washington, leading to the resumption of strikes.

Further details on the situation are available from the source, including comments from US President Donald Trump on the status of the ceasefire deal and ongoing talks.
