US media reported on June 28 that the United States and Iran had agreed to end fighting and were expected to meet again to discuss their differences regarding the Strait of Hormuz. This news raised hopes of salvaging the interim peace agreement, which is under pressure from the tit-for-tat attacks between the two sides.

Axios, the first news outlet to report on the US-Iran ceasefire, quoted a senior US official as saying that Washington had decided to halt its attacks on Iran. Negotiations will resume on June 30th in Qatar.

"Technical negotiations are expected to continue across all areas of the memorandum. Both sides will temporarily cease hostilities, and ships will be able to move freely through the Strait of Hormuz," a US official said. He was referring to the 14-point memorandum agreed upon on June 17, under which the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened to traffic.
