The United States and Iran have agreed to halt attacks on each other and resume talks to end the Middle East war, a US official said on Sunday night.
Despite a sensitive agreement reached on June 17, US and Iranian forces have attacked each other in recent days.
The conflict, which began in late February, has affected shipping in the vital Strait of Hormuz. Under the agreement, Tehran pledged to allow commercial ships to pass through the strait safely, while Washington agreed to lift a blockade of Iranian ports.
'Technical talks will continue on all areas of the understanding,' a US official told AFP by email. 'Both sides have stopped attacks for now and ships will be able to pass freely.'

CNN also reported the same thing, citing a Trump administration official. The two sides agreed to "pause the attacks for now" and hold more talks in Doha on Tuesday.
US President Donald Trump has reiterated his long-standing threat of military action if the Iranian attacks continue.
After Pakistan mediated and signed an agreement to end the war, the US and Iran have retaliated, accusing each other of violating the ceasefire agreement.
In the latest clashes on Sunday morning, the US military said it had struck 10 Iranian military targets, saying they were "continuing Iranian attacks on commercial vessels," while Iran also attacked US military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain.
