The United States and Iran have agreed to halt attacks on each other and allow shipping to resume through the Strait of Hormuz, according to U.S. officials. The two countries plan to meet Tuesday in Doha, Qatar, to address their dispute over the waterway. A U.S. official described the arrangement as both sides agreeing to "stand down for now," with technical talks scheduled to continue on various aspects of their agreement.

The truce comes after a period of escalating tension between the nations. Over the past few days, the two sides exchanged strikes on Saturday. President Trump threatened on Truth Social to resume military action and "complete the job." According to reporting, the ceasefire—which is now barely 11 days old—was already described as unstable before this latest agreement.
