US and Iran Decide to Halt Mutual Attacks: Talks Moved to Doha
It has been reported that the US and Iran have decided to temporarily halt mutual attacks and will meet tomorrow in Doha, the capital of Qatar, to resolve disputes in the Strait of Hormuz.
According to reports in the US media, the administrations of Washington and Tehran have agreed to 'temporarily' halt mutual attacks. A US official, who made a statement on the matter, said that during this process, where technical discussions will continue, the parties will step back and ships will be able to move freely in the region.
It was noted that the talks, initially planned to be held in Switzerland and focused on Iran's nuclear program, have been moved to Doha, the capital of Qatar, due to the renewed tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. With this change, it was stated that the main agenda of the talks will be maritime security in this strategic waterway.
The report mentioned that during the negotiations held in Switzerland a week ago, the US delegation reached an agreement with Iran to establish a 'red line' between the US military and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps to coordinate traffic in the strait; however, as of Saturday, this line has not yet been activated.
MUTUAL ATTACKS HAD BEEN ORGANIZED
The US had conducted airstrikes on Iranian targets on Friday and Saturday, citing actions against commercial maritime transport in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran, in turn, responded to these attacks by striking US military points in the region.
