Iran attacks cargo ship in Hormuz, US retaliates; both sides agree to stand down for Doha talks
The Atlantic—Iran struck a cargo ship on a UN-backed route in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting US retaliatory strikes on Iranian military sites. Iran then closed the Strait and launched drone and missile attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait, threatening a complete halt to negotiations. Both sides ultimately agreed to stand down, with Trump announcing talks would resume in Doha, Qatar. The two countries offered contradictory accounts of deal terms, while Iran told the US it would not impose transit tolls on Hormuz shipping. Trump said the Strait would reopen Friday under the emerging framework.
