HEADLINE: Iran war live Tehran summons Ukraine diplomats over Caspian Sea attack (Al Jazeera, July 26, 2026)

The New York Times and Axios are reporting that the US president has decided to set aside plans to attack Iran, after 13 consecutive days of strikes. The Times, citing Trump administration officials, said the president's decision came amid concern that ratcheting up the war could 'dangerously drain the Pentagon's already diminished stockpile of Patriot antimissile interceptors and other air defense munitions in the Middle East.' Axios, citing two anonymous sources with knowledge of the decision, said it was unclear if Trump's order to halt the strikes was a one-off or if the lull would continue. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Saturday denied any Iranian involvement in the escalating Yemen conflict and called for dialogue.
