US and Iran agree to halt strikes and meet this week, US official says

Source: msn/Axios

2h


The U.S. and Iran agreed to stop attacking each other, according to a senior U.S. official, as the two sides plan to meet Tuesday in Qatar's capital to work out their dispute over the Strait of Hormuz.

Why it matters: The ceasefire is barely 11 days old and already on shaky ground with renewed strikes by both sides and President Trump's threat to restart the war and "complete the job."

  • The renewed fighting was sparked by competing interpretations of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) to end the war — especially its terms on the Strait of Hormuz.


  • The latest: "We decided to stop all the kinetic activity," a senior U.S. official tells Axios, using the military's term for strikes and other attacks.

  • A second U.S. official tells Axios both sides will stand down "for now" and that "vessels can move freely" as technical talks are set to continue.
  • Both U.S. officials and a third source with knowledge confirmed Tuesday's planned meeting.

    Pathetic media manipulation. To manipulate us. This game will go on until after mid terms at least. If they get their outcome they need for continued power.

    When market is closed.

    All the meanwhile oil reserves keep dropping. At some point the broken oil supply chain is going to show its ugly head and then maybe the M$M will get its head out of the 🍊 💩 arse.
