Trump demands ‘public statement’ from Iran in ongoing negotiations

President Donald Trump is demanding Iran issue a public statement vowing not to threaten ships in the Strait of Hormuz as a condition for continued negotiations. The U.S. requires Iran to confirm the shipping lane remains open and to acknowledge past mistakes, with a deadline tied to a meeting with Omani officials. Trump declared the ceasefire with Iran over after Tehran attacked commercial ships, but negotiations remain open if Iran complies.
