Iran studying deal to halt war as stalemate persists

By Jana Choukeir

DUBAI, June 2 (Reuters) – Iran is reviewing a proposed agreement with the United States to halt the war between the two countries, Iran’s Mehr news reported on Tuesday, after U.S. President Donald Trump said talks to reach a deal were continuing.

More than three months after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes against Iran, the conflict has hardened into a stalemate while largely indirect talks to negotiate an interim deal have proved inconclusive, leaving the Strait of Hormuz largely shut.
