The US and Iran agreed to stop attacking each other, as the two sides plan to meet Tuesday in Qatar's capital to work out their dispute over the Strait of Hormuz, Axios reports.
The ceasefire is barely 11 days old and already on shaky ground with renewed strikes by both sides and US President Donald Trump's threat to restart the war and "complete the job."
They have decided to stop all kinetic activity, a senior US official told Axios, using a military term that refers to strikes and other attacks.
Another US official told Axios that the two sides would suspend talks for now and that ships can move freely through the Strait of Hormuz while technical talks continue.
The two US officials and a third source familiar with the matter confirmed the meeting scheduled for Tuesday.
Under the memorandum of understanding, Iran has committed to make every effort to ensure the safe passage of commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
In turn, the US has lifted its blockade of Iranian ports.
During talks in Switzerland last week, the US delegation led by Vice President JD Vance reached an agreement with Iran to establish a hotline between the US military and the Iranian military command of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to coordinate movement through the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Axios, the hotline was still not operational as of Saturday, even as Iran began to announce again that ships must agree with Tehran the passage through the strait.
The talks on Iran's nuclear program were originally scheduled to take place in Switzerland on Tuesday, a source familiar with the talks said.
But the talks have been moved to a different location due to the escalation of the conflict and are now focused on the Strait of Hormuz. Nick Stewart, who heads the US technical team, is expected to attend the talks, according to a US official and a source familiar with the talks.
