US and Iran agree to halt strikes, resume talks; Trump confirms Doha meeting

The United States and Iran have agreed to halt mutual strikes and resume negotiations, with President Trump confirming a meeting in Doha, Qatar, on June 30. This follows reciprocal military actions and a decline in oil prices.

Following recent reciprocal military actions, the United States and Iran have agreed to cease mutual strikes and resume negotiations concerning the Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump confirmed a meeting between representatives from both nations is scheduled for June 30 in Doha, Qatar, stating that Iran requested the talks. This development follows earlier Iranian drone and missile attacks on US military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain, which Tehran described as a response to prior American strikes. The US Central Command had also confirmed additional strikes against Iranian targets on June 27, citing an attack on the tanker "Ever Lovely." Brent crude oil prices declined after the reported de-escalation agreement.
