Washington, June 29. The American news website 'Axios' has claimed, citing a senior US official, that the US and Iran have agreed to halt attacks on each other.
'Axios' stated that both parties are expected to meet in Doha, the capital of Qatar, on Tuesday. They will discuss resolving their disputes and differences regarding the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial route for oil supply. According to 'Axios', the official mentioned that both parties are planning to meet in Doha on Tuesday to resolve their dispute over the Strait of Hormuz.
The Doha talks are expected to include the head of the US technical team, Nick Stewart. The official stated that they have decided to halt all forms of military action. Another US official mentioned that both parties will currently withdraw and ships will be able to move freely as technical discussions continue.
Both US officials and a third source familiar with the matter confirmed the meeting scheduled for Tuesday. Initially, this meeting was proposed to be held in Switzerland to discuss Iran's nuclear program, but after recent military confrontations, its location was changed to Doha. Now, the agenda of the meeting has been limited to issues related to the Strait of Hormuz.
The White House has not yet made any official comment on the proposed talks. Notably, the Strait of Hormuz has emerged as the biggest challenge in implementing the agreement between the two countries. Iran had promised to facilitate the safe passage of commercial vessels through Hormuz.
In return, the US had lifted the blockade on Iranian ports. Last week, during talks in Switzerland, both parties also agreed to establish a hotline. According to Arab News, Mehdi Fazaili, a member of the publication office of Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, stated on Sunday to state television that Iran did not participate in the technical talks on Sunday due to attacks on the country and the failure to meet the terms of the agreement with the US.
