US says it has agreed to “stand down” after exchange of strikes with Iran

The US says it has agreed with Iran to “stand down” following an exchange of strikes over the past few days, with media reports citing a US official.

The move follows attacks in and around the Strait of Hormuz, where both countries accused each other of violating a ceasefire.

The US official told CBS News that ships would be able to transit the key waterway “freely,” and added that renewed talks intended to end the war permanently were continuing.

Separate reporting also notes that Iran had not publicly commented on the reports about the stand-down, even as other diplomatic activity—including discussions connected to a potential meeting in Doha—was being discussed.
