US insists Iran commit to stopping attacks in Hormuz strait, say US officials

The U.S. is pushing Iran to make a clear, public commitment to halt any attacks on vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route. Officials are also demanding that Iran ensure the strait remains open for all shipping without imposing any tolls. This move comes amid rising tensions in the region, highlighting the U.S.'s concern over Iran's actions that could disrupt international maritime trade and fuel further conflict. The Strait of Hormuz is vital for global oil supply, so any instability here could have far-reaching economic implications worldwide.
