US and Iran De-Escalate After Strikes | Global News

Tensions between the US and Iran have cooled after a de-escalation agreement, following a volatile exchange of strikes around the Strait of Hormuz. A ceasefire pact signed earlier this week mandates 60 days of safe commercial shipping passage, though recent attacks have tested its durability. Iran’s missile strike on a cargo ship triggered US retaliatory strikes, which Iran responded to with inaccurate attacks on US bases — no casualties reported. Meanwhile, US efforts to broker peace between Israel and Lebanon face setbacks, as Hezbollah rejects the deal and Israel strikes a weapons tunnel. Tehran insists broader ceasefire talks require hostilities in Lebanon to cease — peace is fragile, but both sides are now standing down.
