The United States and Iran agreed on Sunday to halt days of mutual strikes in the Strait of Hormuz and will resume technical talks in Doha on Tuesday, senior U.S. officials said, seeking to salvage a fragile ceasefire that had been tested by tit-for-tat attacks over the weekend.

A senior U.S. official told Axios that both sides have “decided to stop all the kinetic activity,” using military terminology for strikes and other offensive operations. A second U.S. official confirmed that vessels can now move freely through the strait as both sides stand down “for now,” while technical discussions continue. The planned meeting in Qatar’s capital was originally scheduled for Switzerland to address Iran’s nuclear program but was relocated and refocused on Hormuz after the recent escalation.

The renewed fighting erupted despite a 60-day interim ceasefire and threatened to unravel the memorandum of understanding reached in Switzerland last week. Under that deal, Iran committed to make its best efforts to allow safe passage of commercial vessels through the strait in exchange for the lifting of the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports. The agreement also included the establishment of a U.S.-IRGC “hotline” to coordinate traffic, though it had not yet become operational as of Saturday.

Iran launched fresh drone and missile attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday in response to new U.S. airstrikes, according to France 24, and warned it would halt negotiations and close the strait if Washington continued its strikes. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to “complete the job” militarily if the ceasefire collapsed, escalating rhetoric that had already strained the tenuous peace.

Nick Stewart, head of the U.S. technical team, is expected to participate in Tuesday’s talks in Doha, according to a U.S. official and a source with knowledge of the negotiations. The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The crisis underscores the fragility of the current truce and the high stakes of Hormuz, through which roughly a fifth of the world’s seaborne oil passes. Oil prices rose on Monday as markets reacted to the renewed instability, with Brent crude edging higher amid concerns over the strait’s reopening. The U.S. and Iran’s willingness to return to the negotiating table reflects a shared, if precarious, interest in avoiding a broader regional conflict, even as both sides maintain competing claims over control of the waterway.
