Lull in Iran, US fighting ‘achieved by fresh round of diplomacy’

A diplomatic lull in the intensifying conflict between Iran and the United States has been achieved through a fresh round of diplomacy, according to diplomatic sources.

After 13 nights of escalating US airstrikes on Iran, the Pentagon abruptly suspended the campaign late on Friday. Neither Saturday nor Sunday saw any reported attacks. Iran, which had been responding to each night of US attacks with its own strikes on neighboring countries hosting American bases, has also held fire for two days.

Diplomatic sources in Washington stated that Pakistan and other mediators were instrumental in efforts that helped halt the second round of bombing. These efforts created conditions for another pause in the fighting. Some analysts, like Waltz, suggest the lull in strikes indicates President Trump is making room for talks.

US media reports claim ammunition shortages and opposition from generals forced the president to halt the bombing. The easing of hostilities towards Iran suggests a significant diplomatic breakthrough, potentially paving the way for further negotiations.
