After an escalation near the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend, the US and Iran signal willingness to resume negotiations, with talks slated to be held in Doha.
The United States and Iran have agreed to a temporary halt in attacks after a weekend of military exchanges near the Strait of Hormuz, with officials expected to meet Tuesday in Doha for talks aimed at defusing the crisis over the strategic waterway.
A US official said the two sides had agreed to pause further strikes for now, after renewed violence threatened to derail a recently reached memorandum of understanding meant to restore shipping through the strait and keep broader negotiations on track.
“Both sides will stand down for now and vessels can move freely,” the official said.
