Iran War News Live: The United States and Iran have agreed to pause mutual attacks for now and hold talks in Doha on Tuesday to ease tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, Axios reported.

Ali Akbar Velayati stated, "A serious warning is being given to the Bahrainis to know their limits and not play such games with their own fate, and not force Iran to adopt harsh decisions," according to a report by the semi-official Tasnim News.
Iran targeted a US Navy base in Bahrain over Friday and Saturday, claiming that Washington uses military bases in the region to launch attacks on its territory. While Gulf nations deny the claim, Manama has condemned the latest attacks, saying they violated its sovereignty and undermined "opportunities for de-escalation and stability in the region".
These developments come against the backdrop of a broader diplomatic breakthrough, as the United States and Iran have reached an agreement to cease reciprocal military strikes and restart diplomatic negotiations on Tuesday in the Qatari capital to address their ongoing dispute concerning the Strait of Hormuz, following a wave of intense cross-border hostilities that jeopardised a fragile ceasefire.
