The US and Iran have agreed to halt hostilities and continue peace talks in Doha, Qatar, on Tuesday, following recent exchanges of strikes over the Strait of Hormuz. The sides signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on June 17, aiming to end the conflict that began in late February with a joint US-Israeli attack on Iran.
Over the weekend, the US targeted military sites in southern Iran after blaming Tehran for drone strikes on ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded by firing missiles at Kuwait and Bahrain, which host US bases.
A US official stated, "We decided to stop all kinetic activity. Technical talks are slated to continue on all areas of the MoU. Both sides will stand down for now, and vessels can move freely." Another official confirmed the agreement, citing the meeting in Doha.
Iran's IRGC warned that further US attacks would halt diplomatic processes. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated the Strait of Hormuz would return to pre-war capacity under Iran's management within 30 days, stressing that any intervention could complicate the situation.
The MoU established a 60-day window for negotiations, initially focusing on Iran's nuclear program but shifted to the Strait of Hormuz due to the latest escalation. Iran demands control and fee collection, which the US rejects.
