A U.S. official told Reuters that Washington and Tehran had agreed to halt hostilities, with vessels free to move and technical talks to continue in Doha, and Trump later posted that 'Iran has requested a meeting' there. Iran's foreign ministry said no meetings with the U.S. were planned at any level, and Qatar said U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were in Doha but would not meet Iranian officials, adding that $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds had not been transferred.

Why it matters

The strikes stopped, but the dispute over who runs the strait and over the frozen funds was left unresolved.
