A senior US official said both countries had decided to suspend “kinetic activity,” the military term used to describe active combat operations. Another official stated that both sides would “stand down for now,” allowing commercial vessels to navigate the Strait of Hormuz freely while technical-level talks continue.
The reported truce follows US President Donald Trump’s warning that further Iranian attacks could trigger additional American military action. Iran, meanwhile, has cautioned that any violation of a ceasefire would lead to a complete suspension of diplomatic negotiations.
Tehran has not yet officially confirmed the reported agreement, leaving uncertainty over Iran’s formal position on the temporary de-escalation.
The planned meeting in Doha is expected to focus on reducing tensions and preventing further conflict in one of the world’s most critical maritime trade routes.
