US pauses Iran strikes as Oman mediates diplomatic talks in Tehran

United States President Donald Trump has halted military air strikes against Iran after 13 consecutive nights of bombardment, seeking to create space for diplomatic negotiations. The pause coincided with the arrival of an Omani delegation in Tehran to negotiate an agreement regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, with regional sources indicating a potential resolution over the weekend.

Regardless of the diplomatic effort, Iranian military spokesperson Mohammad Akraminia warned that Tehran would broaden the conflict's geographic scope and introduce new combat strategies if US strikes resume. Concurrently, reports suggest Washington is considering a covert military operation to secure or neutralize Iran's stockpiles of enriched uranium, an initiative analysts characterize as high-risk.
