U.S. and Iran Agree to Halt Mutual Attacks.

The United States and Iran have agreed to halt mutual attacks, a senior U.S. official said, according to Axios journalist Barak Ravid.

The ceasefire agreement has been in force for 11 days, but it was threatened by renewed strikes and President Donald Trump’s threat to resume the war. The new escalation was triggered by differing interpretations of the memorandum, mainly regarding the Strait of Hormuz.

We made the decision to stop all kinetic activity, a senior U.S. official told Axios, using the military term for airstrikes and other attacks. A second U.S. official told the outlet that, for now, both sides will refrain from military action and that ships can move freely while technical talks continue.

Those two sources, as well as a third person familiar with the talks, confirmed that the meeting in Doha is scheduled for Tuesday. Under the memorandum of understanding, Iran has committed to making maximum efforts to ensure the safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, while in return the United States ended its blockade of Iranian ports.

During talks in Switzerland last week, the U.S. delegation, led by Vice President JD Vance, reached an agreement with Iran to establish a hotline between the U.S. armed forces and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to coordinate shipping through the strait.
