USA and Iran have temporarily halted strikes: there is hope for the resumption of negotiations

After approximately 13 days of escalating conflict, the US and Iran have temporarily suspended mutual strikes. This pause raises hopes for the resumption of diplomatic negotiations to de-escalate the conflict in the region.

According to American media, US President Donald Trump intends to temporarily halt a large-scale military operation. It is reported that one of the factors behind this decision is concern over the depletion of missile stocks for air defense systems, including the Patriot system.

US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz confirmed that President Donald Trump has temporarily suspended military strikes against Iran to give a certain chance for negotiations and “provides them with some space.”

On the other hand, one Iranian source stated that Tehran will also cease retaliatory military actions until Washington resumes its attacks. According to the source, Iran’s position is based on the principle of “an eye for an eye.” If the attacks resume, Iran will also begin to strike back again.

Despite the relative calm, US authorities emphasize that this does not mean the end of the conflict. They state that if diplomatic efforts do not yield results, all possible courses of action remain under consideration.

Experts view the current situation more as a “strategic pause” rather than the end of the war. Nevertheless, the temporary reduction in the number of strikes has heightened hopes for progress in negotiations and de-escalation of the situation in the Middle East.
