What is America demanding from Iran today?
One public sentence: that the Strait of Hormuz is open and ships will not be fired on. US officials say without that declaration at today's talks in Oman, nuclear negotiations will 'never' begin, and Trump has already called the June ceasefire memorandum 'over' while imposing fresh sanctions. Iran insists it controls how the strait reopens, and on Friday buried Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader killed when the war began in February.
