Politico Reported

According to Politico, senior U.S. government officials announced that Washington, in addition to requesting Iran's commitment to keeping the Strait of Hormuz open and halting attacks on commercial vessels, expects Tehran to acknowledge in a statement to be released on Saturday that it made mistakes in recent attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz — "explicitly or implicitly." According to these officials, the Islamic Republic had previously accepted this point in private talks with the United States. American officials also said in a phone briefing with a group of journalists that the Iranian government had postponed decision-making on several key issues of the negotiations until after the funeral ceremony of Ali Khamenei, and Washington now expects Tehran's final positions to be clarified in Saturday's meeting with Omani mediation.
