A senior US official said that Iranian officials privately told US government advisers that it was a “mistake” for Iran to fire on merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz, and that the related attacks came from “some misguided hardliners.” Iran has yet to respond to this. The report said that Iran expressed its desire to continue negotiations. The US side believes that the attack on the merchant ship violates the cease-fire agreement, and hopes Iran will publicly acknowledge this mistake. US officials said that US President Trump has instructed a team composed of Vice President Vance, Trump's son-in-law Kushner, US President's Special Envoy Witkoff, and Secretary of State Rubio to continue negotiations, and related talks will be held in Amman. US officials said that if Iran continues to take hostile actions, the US will use military and economic means to respond.
