US, Iran Halt Strikes, Plan Doha Talks

The United States and Iran agreed to pause hostilities and resume negotiations in Doha on Tuesday, aiming to salvage their interim peace deal.

President Trump said Iran requested the meeting, but Tehran denied any talks were scheduled.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner would lead the US delegation.

The breakthrough follows a weekend of strikes that raised fears of a wider conflict and caused shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz to drop sharply.
