The United States paused attacks on Iran for a second consecutive day on Sunday, and Tehran confirmed it had also halted its military operations. The mutual pause comes amid ongoing efforts to bring the two nations back to the negotiating table for an interim ceasefire agreement.
The development marks a potential de-escalation in tensions between the U.S. and Iran. Both sides have issued brief statements confirming the halt in hostilities, signaling a willingness to prioritize diplomacy over military action.
This is the second day in a row that the U.S. has refrained from striking Iranian targets. For its part, Iran has also officially announced a cessation of attacks, aligning with the American pause.
The duration of this mutual halt remains unclear, but the reciprocal nature of the decision suggests that both countries are open to pursuing a diplomatic solution. International observers are closely watching for any further steps toward a formal ceasefire.
