US, Iran Extend Pause in Strikes as Oman Holds New Hormuz Talks

Bloomberg · back to the audit
The US paused an almost two-week run of strikes against Iran for a second night while the Islamic Republic signaled it was refraining from any retaliatory attacks and held talks with Oman over the Strait of Hormuz. After 13 straight nights of strikes aimed at degrading Iran's ability to attack commercial shipping, the US has apparently held off since late Friday without explanation or announcement, raising questions about President Donald Trump's next move. Iran's army on Sunday said Tehran had halted its retaliation as a result.
