TEHRAN, Jul 11: Iran told US officials that recent attacks on commercial shipping were caused by an "errant part" (undisciplined unit) of its system, senior US officials said on Friday, according to Reuters.

The explanation was conveyed during ongoing contacts between Washington and Tehran following the attacks on commercial vessels that heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.

US officials did not provide further details on Iran's explanation or indicate whether Washington accepted the account. The reported communication comes as the two sides continue technical discussions amid efforts to prevent further escalation in the region.
