U.S. gives Iran Saturday deadline to publicly renounce Hormuz attacks

Axios reports that the Trump administration has given Iran a Saturday deadline to publicly declare the Strait of Hormuz is open and commit to ending attacks on commercial ships. This follows Iran's violations of a deal signed just three weeks ago, with repeated strikes on vessels throughout the strait triggering military exchanges and bringing the agreement to the brink of collapse. According to U.S. officials, Iran has already faced two rounds of retaliatory strikes, and the administration has warned of harsh consequences if Iran fails to comply by Saturday.
