Washington, D.C. – The United States and Iran have reportedly agreed to halt attacks and resume talks after several days of military exchanges around the Strait of Hormuz.
A senior U.S. official told Axios that both sides agreed to “stand down for now” and meet Tuesday in Doha, Qatar, to discuss security and commercial access through the strait. Reuters also reported that U.S. and Iranian technical teams are expected to meet as mediators try to keep a fragile interim peace accord from collapsing.
The reported pause follows U.S. strikes on Iranian missile, drone, and radar sites after Washington accused Tehran of attacking a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran later launched retaliatory strikes against U.S. military sites in Kuwait and Bahrain, according to Reuters.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important energy routes, carrying about one-fifth of global oil shipments. Recent fighting disrupted shipping and raised concerns about fuel prices and broader regional escalation.
Iran had not publicly confirmed the reported agreement as of the latest reports, and President Donald Trump has warned of more military action if attacks resume.
