U.S. and Iran Pause Strikes Amid Diplomatic Push | Global News

Tensions between the U.S. and Iran have briefly eased as both sides pause military strikes for two days — a potential diplomatic thaw amid escalating hostilities over the Strait of Hormuz. While the U.S. maintains its naval blockade and remains on high alert, Iran confirms it’s also halting attacks, signaling willingness to return to the June ceasefire deal. Mediators see the pause as a hopeful sign, with talks now focused on easing restrictions on Iranian control of shipping through the strait. Meanwhile, Israeli PM Netanyahu heads to Washington for talks with Trump, as U.S. efforts to de-escalate the Lebanon-Israel conflict continue — including pushing for Hezbollah disarmament.
