The United States and Iran have reportedly agreed to cease attacks against each other, according to a report by Axios. This understanding comes following intensified regional conflict linked to the Israel-Hamas war. Specifically, the agreement involves halting attacks on American forces in Iraq and Syria, and on Iranian-backed groups in the region by the US. Iran, in turn, is expected to restrain its proxies. Discussions are scheduled to take place this week, facilitated by intermediaries, though a direct meeting between US and Iranian officials is not currently planned. The aim is to de-escalate the situation and prevent further widening of the conflict in the Middle East. Axios cites sources familiar with the matter confirming the agreement.
