Golden Finance reported that on July 11, CBS said that a senior U.S. official revealed that Iranian officials privately told advisers to the Trump administration that firing on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz was a “mistake,” and that the related attacks stemmed from the “hardliners’ faction” making errors in an attempt to sabotage negotiations. The report said Iran has stated that it hopes to continue the talks. The White House wants Iran to publicly acknowledge the mistake. The Trump administration believes that the attacks on commercial ships violate the ceasefire arrangements agreed by both sides. U.S. officials said that Trump has instructed a team consisting of Vice President Vance, Trump’s son-in-law Kushner, U.S. Middle East envoy Wittekoff, and Secretary of State Rubio to continue advancing the negotiations. The talks will be held in Oman. U.S. officials said that if Iran continues hostile actions, the U.S. will respond using military and economic means.
