said Washington has asked Iran to publicly declare that it will stop attacks in the <strong>Strait of Hormuz<\/strong> and refrain from collecting what the officials described as tolls from commercial shipping, while warning of consequences if such a commitment is not made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to statements attributed to U.S. officials, Washington has urged Tehran to make a public announcement confirming that attacks in the strategic waterway will cease and that no tolls will be imposed on vessels transiting the strait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The officials further warned that if Iran does not publicly make such a commitment, &#8220;the consequences will not be good.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to an international news agency, U.S. officials also said recent discussions between Washington and Tehran have been <strong>constructive<\/strong> despite ongoing tensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report added that the United States continues to insist on access related to Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities and maintains that it has <strong>military options<\/strong> available should diplomatic efforts fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A U.S. official was quoted as saying that if the desired outcomes regarding Iran&#8217;s nuclear program are not achieved, <strong>no agreement will be reached<\/strong> between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same official also claimed that Iran had informed the United States that the <strong>recent attacks on ships<\/strong> were carried out by hardline elements within the Iranian system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The article does not include a response from Iranian authorities to these reported U.S. statements, and the claims attributed to American officials have not been independently verified.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON: U.S. officials have said Washington has asked Iran to publicly declare that it will stop attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and
