Washington and Tehran agreed to halt military strikes in the region on Sunday, the White House confirmed to Fox News. 
“Technical talks are slated to continue on all areas of the MOU. 
Both sides will stand down for now and vessels can move freely," the White House told Fox. 
Citing an official, Axios also reported that the two sides' delegations are now scheduled to meet June 30 in Doha, Qatar. 
Fresh strikes escalated over the weekend after U.S. 
Central Command (CENTCOM) conducted additional strikes on multiple targets in Iran following what it described as an Iranian attack on the Panama-flagged tanker M/T Kiku near the Strait of Hormuz. 
On Sunday, Iran launched strikes against Kuwait and Bahrain, leading to condemnations from both Arab neighbors. 
Under the interim memorandum of understanding (MOU) Iran would allow safe passage for vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, while the U.S. would lift its blockade of Iranian ports. 
A hotline between the U.S. military and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was also expected to be established to coordinate maritime traffic. 
On Sunday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran alone was responsible for managing and fully reopening maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz under the recent understandings. 
Fox News' Alex Hogan contributed to this report.
