US, Iran Agree to Halt Strikes, Plan Doha Talks

After a weekend of military exchanges, the US and Iran have agreed to halt attacks and resume diplomatic engagement, with envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner set to travel to Qatar for high-level meetings.

Iran confirmed it would send a delegation to Doha for technical discussions on implementing a Memorandum of Understanding, but insisted no direct bilateral negotiations with the US are scheduled.

The fragile ceasefire over the Strait of Hormuz remains in doubt as Iran has yet to officially confirm the meeting, while warning that any US violations risk a 'major war'.

Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries has called for a full unclassified briefing on the talks, reflecting congressional unease over the administration's approach.
