CBS reported US senior officials say Iranian officials privately told Trump
advisers the strikes on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz were a
"mistake" by a hardline faction trying to derail talks; Iran said it wants to
continue negotiations. The White House is seeking a public admission; Trump has
ordered a negotiating team — Vice President Vance, son-in-law Kushner, US
Mideast envoy Witkoff and Secretary of State Rubio — to pursue talks in Oman. US
officials say the attacks violate a bilateral ceasefire and warn continued
hostile actions will be met with military and economic responses.
