Vessels were seen around the Strait of Hormuz, off the coast of Oman's Musandam, on Monday (June 29).

Iranian and U.S. technical teams working on the implementation of an interim peace deal are expected to meet in Doha in the coming days, a source told Reuters on Monday, after tit-for-tat weekend strikes threatened to derail the fragile accord.

Mediators have established communications channels to de-escalate any incidents, and technical talks are set to continue, the source, with knowledge of the discussions, added.

A senior Iranian source told Reuters on Monday that there would be a meeting in Doha on Tuesday (June 30), but unlike previous technical talks between Tehran and Washington in Switzerland, the focus would be on managing the Strait of Hormuz and de-escalating tensions.

U.S. President Donald Trump later said a meeting on Iran would be held Tuesday in Doha, without giving further details.

The U.S. and Iran signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding aimed at ending four months of conflict on June 17, under which both sides agreed to cease hostilities and reopen the strait, through which a fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas typically transits.
