At one of the world's most consequential maritime crossings, the United States has set a Saturday deadline for Iran to publicly renounce attacks on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — a narrow passage that carries roughly a fifth of the world's oil. The demand is not for quiet diplomacy but for an open declaration, a gesture that would create accountability and signal intent to a watching world. What unfolds by week's end may determine whether this long-simmering flashpoint moves toward negotiated calm or into a more dangerous chapter of confrontation.
