US, Iran to meet in Doha on Tuesday to stop attacks
The United States and Iran have agreed to stop attacks on each other after three days of tension. The two countries plan to meet in Doha, the capital of Qatar, on Tuesday (June 30) to resolve the dispute over the Strait of Hormuz, Reuters reported.
The Axios news agency, citing a US official, said that all issues will be discussed at a technical level. For now, both sides will refrain from attacks and navigation through the Strait of Hormuz will remain normal. Iran launched missile and drone attacks on US military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain early Sunday. Shortly before this, US President Donald Trump warned that Iran could be wiped out if the ceasefire agreement was not respected.
On the other hand, Israel said that on Sunday it again attacked an underground facility of Iran-backed Hezbollah in a village in southern Lebanon. A new ceasefire with Lebanon on Friday was followed by another similar attack on Saturday. Iran has said the conflict in Lebanon must also end for the broader deal to take effect. Earlier, the US military said it had carried out another strike on Iran hours after an attack on an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. The world’s most important waterway for transporting energy has been virtually closed for much of the conflict. The 14-point interim peace deal was aimed at ending the conflict that began on February 28 and finding a negotiated solution to a range of issues, including Iran’s nuclear programme. At the same time, one of the aims of the deal is to restore normal navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
