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

The Trump administration is demanding that Iran publicly acknowledge that the Strait of Hormuz is open and pledge to stop firing on commercial ships, with the message conveyed directly and through regional mediators by U.S. officials. The demand is tied to arguments that Iran violated a memorandum of understanding signed with the U.S. three weeks earlier by repeatedly firing on vessels near the strait, bringing the fragile agreement closer to collapse. Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi and Oman’s foreign minister are expected to meet Saturday in Muscat to discuss the Hormuz crisis, and U.S. officials say they expect Iran to issue a statement afterward.

Platner said the process to replace him needs to be “open, transparent and democratic,” and he stressed that his decision is not an admission of guilt.

A man, aged 26, has since been arrested on suspicion of Widdecombe’s murder and remains in police custody. Police said the case is not being treated as a terrorist incident and that it is too early to determine whether the death was politically motivated.

Bloomberg reports that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan discussed the S-400 issue with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with US officials pressing Ankara to give up the system.
