The United States and Iran have agreed to pause mutual attacks “for now” and hold talks on Tuesday in Doha, the capital of Qatar, to work out their dispute over the Strait of Hormuz, U.S.
The White House also confirms Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner will attend a meeting.
In view of the situation both sides have agreed to stand down “for now” and said will allow “vessels to move freely” as technical talks are set to continue, a U.S. official was quoted as saying.
The Tuesday talks were originally set to be held in Switzerland and focused on Iran’s nuclear program. However, renewed tensions in the Strait of Hormuz prompted the talks to be moved to Doha, shifting the focus to shipping security in the strategic waterway.
