It was reported that the US and Iran have agreed to halt mutual attacks and that the parties plan to meet in the Qatari capital Doha on Tuesday to resolve disputes regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
Following the recent military tension between the US and Iran, the news website Axios brought a striking claim to the agenda. According to the report, citing senior US officials, the US and Iran have agreed to halt mutual attacks, and the parties plan to meet on Tuesday in Doha, the capital of Qatar, to resolve disputes over the Strait of Hormuz. A US official speaking to Axios said, 'We have decided to stop all attacks,' while another official noted that both sides would withdraw 'for now' during this process of ongoing technical talks, and that 'ships can move freely' in the Strait of Hormuz.
'FOCUS OF TALKS SHIFTED TO THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ'
The report stated that Tuesday's negotiations were initially planned to be held in Switzerland to discuss Iran's nuclear program, but recent tensions in the region led to the talks being moved to a different venue and the focus shifting to the Strait of Hormuz. It was also stated that Nick Stewart, head of the US technical delegation, is expected to participate in Tuesday's meetings.
IRAN DID NOT ATTEND THE PLANNED MEETINGS IN SWITZERLAND
Mehdi Fezaeili, a member of the Office for the Preservation and Publication of the Works of Iran's Supreme Leader, announced that Iran's technical negotiation team did not attend the planned meetings with the US in Switzerland yesterday, and the talks were canceled. In a statement to Iranian state television, Fezaeili said the technical talks were scheduled for yesterday, but Iran refused to attend the meeting due to recent clashes. The Iranian official stated that another reason for this decision was Tehran's desire to see whether the other party had fulfilled certain conditions. Fezaeili noted that these conditions included Iran's access to its frozen assets.
TALKS REPORTEDLY SUSPENDED
The US-based Wall Street Journal also suggested this weekend that the US-Iran talks, planned to resume in Switzerland, were postponed due to increasing tensions and renewed attacks between the two sides. The report noted that recent military conflicts have negatively impacted the diplomatic process, stating that officials suspended the talks without setting a date for their continuation.
