A temporary halt in the US-Iran conflict has entered its second day, with neither side launching new strikes. This pause comes as diplomatic efforts are underway to resolve the dispute over the Strait of Hormuz. According to US officials, President Trump decided to delay plans for escalating the conflict due to concerns over depleted interceptor missile stockpiles. The conflict, which began five months ago, has resulted in significant economic losses and casualties. Recent talks between Iranian officials and mediators from Oman, a Gulf state that borders the Strait of Hormuz, may indicate a potential breakthrough in negotiations. The US and Iran have been at odds over the strategic waterway, which is crucial for global oil and gas shipments. Source: New York Times
