After a series of U.S. air attacks on sites in Tehran and subsequent Iranian strikes on Bahrain and Kuwait, the two governments announced a temporary halt to hostilities and scheduled talks in Qatar for Tuesday, according to a senior U.S. official. The pause follows disputes over how to implement a previously signed memorandum that addresses naval operations in the Strait of Hormuz, including a pledge to lift the U.S. blockade within a month and withdraw forces. U.S. Central Command reported another round of strikes after Iran allegedly targeted a Panama‑flagged tanker, while President Trump used his social‑media platform to note that American aircraft had hit Iranian missile, drone and radar facilities, warning that continued violations could lead to a larger military response.
