“The U.S. and Iran have agreed to end days of back-and-forth fighting around the Strait of Hormuz and resume peace talks, said officials from the U.S. and other countries involved in the negotiations,” the Wall Street Journal reports.“The dangerous period of violence that began Thursday disrupted President Trump’s attempt to end hostilities with Iran and negotiate a settlement that addresses Tehran’s nuclear program. Traffic in the Strait of Hormuz fell during the tit-for-tat strikes, slowing the recovery of a waterway through which 20% of the world’s crude oil once flowed. A U.S. official said vessels would now move freely.”Axios: U.S. and Iran agree to halt strikes and meet this week.
