US and Iran agree to halt reciprocal strikes, resume talks

The United States and Iran have agreed to halt reciprocal military actions and proceed with negotiations regarding the Strait of Hormuz, with a meeting confirmed for June 30 in Doha, Qatar.

The United States and Iran have agreed to halt reciprocal military actions and proceed with negotiations regarding the Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump confirmed a meeting between representatives is set for June 30 in Doha, Qatar, noting Iran initiated the request. This de-escalation follows a series of strikes, including Iranian drone and missile attacks on US military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain, which Tehran stated were in response to earlier American actions. The US Central Command had previously confirmed strikes against Iranian targets on June 26, and additional ones on June 27, citing an attack on the tanker "Ever Lovely." Brent crude oil prices subsequently decreased following reports of the agreement.
