U.S. gives Iran Saturday deadline to publicly renounce Hormuz attacks and announce that the strait is open, U.S. officials say. My report on @axios A U.S. official said the Iranians reached out to the administration after two days of skirmishes earlier this week and sought further talks to resolve the dispute "They told us, 'We screwed up. We made a mistake. Let's keep talking,'" the official claimed

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy announced that the Strait of Hormuz will be "temporarily closed until further notice," and no ship will be allowed to sail through the waterway, blaming the United States for violating the memorandum of understanding (MoU). The Strait will remain blocked until the US "ceases its interference in [the] region," the navy said in a statement. "Should the aggressor, exploiting this incident (which it itself caused), commit any further transgressions, we shall respond forcefully, and additional enemy bases in the region will be targeted," the IRGC Navy warned, adding that the blame for such an escalation would fall on the US, Israel, and "countries that have placed their territories" at their disposal. IRGC fired a missile at a commercial cargo ship that tried to pass through the strait of Hormuz, U.S. official says. Ship was hit and suffered damages
