Iran and the United States have agreed to halt recent hostilities in the Gulf and renew talks regarding their dispute over the Strait of Hormuz, Axios reported on Sunday.
The two sides plan to meet on Tuesday in Qatar, Axios reported, citing a senior US official.
A return to diplomacy follows several days of strikes and counterstrikes since an Iranian projectile hit a Singapore-flagged cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz last Thursday. Both the US and Iran accused the other of breaking an interim ceasefire agreed to on Jun 17.
Iran launched missiles and drones at US military sites in Kuwait and Bahrain early on Sunday, shortly after President Donald Trump threatened to wipe out the Iranian leadership if they did not stick to the agreement.

President Trump had warned on social media that Iran would "no longer exist" if the US was forced to "militarily complete the job." The 14-point interim peace accord, signed Jun 17, was meant to halt fighting, reopen the strait, and facilitate talks on Iran's nuclear program.
The agreement's fragility was further exposed when Iran canceled technical talks scheduled for Sunday. An official cited recent attacks and unfulfilled conditions, such as access to unfrozen funds, as reasons.
Israel also struck Iran-backed Hezbollah militants in Lebanon over the weekend, destroying underground infrastructure in southern Lebanon. This came after a separate Israeli-Lebanese ceasefire deal.
Kuwait and Bahrain reported intercepting missiles and drones targeting US military sites. Bahrain reported damage to a residential building. Qatar confirmed one of its nationals died from shrapnel injuries sustained aboard a vessel involved in "military operations in the area."
