Hormuz Remains a Sticking Point Amid US, Iran Diplomatic Efforts

The US hasn’t “formally requested an extension of the ceasefire,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Wednesday.
But she acknowledged “we remain very much engaged in these negotiations.” Bloomberg's Joumanna Bercetche reports. (Source: Bloomberg)
