US wants Iran to publicly promise to stop firing on Strait ships

America is calling on Iran to declare that the Strait of Hormuz remains accessible and commit to ceasing fire on commercial vessels. The demand comes ahead of planned negotiations in Oman on Saturday, with US officials telling media that Iran privately admitted past shootings were a mistake. CBS reports indicate that the White House additionally desires Iran to openly admit these firings constituted a mistake.
