Market Chatter: US Demands Iran Publicly Declare Strait of Hormuz Open to Shipping

MT Newswires Live06:32

The US is demanding that Iran publicly declare all channels of the Strait of Hormuz open to shipping and pledge not to attack civilian vessels transiting the waterway, Bloomberg reported Friday, citing senior administration officials.

The officials said Washington expects talks with Tehran to continue despite renewed tensions, but warned there would be consequences if Iran fails to provide the public assurance. They also said any final agreement would require Iran to turn over its enriched uranium.

The developments come after several days of US airstrikes and Iranian retaliation, with the US blaming Iran for attacks on commercial shipping and imposing additional sanctions on Tehran.
