A pause in hostilities between the United States and Iran extended into a second straight day on Sunday, according to reports, with Tehran also saying it had stopped its attacks. The dual halt suggested a temporary easing after a period of heightened tension.
The development came as diplomatic efforts continued to steer both sides back toward negotiations. The focus appeared to be on restarting discussions around an interim arrangement, offering a possible path away from further military action.
While the pause did not amount to a broader settlement, it signaled that neither side had carried out new attacks over the two-day period. That has raised attention on whether the lull could create room for more direct or indirect engagement.
For now, the situation remains fluid, with the absence of new strikes standing out as the main development. Much will depend on whether the current restraint holds and whether talks can regain momentum.
