US-Iran Fighting Pauses for Diplomacy

President Donald Trump confirmed that the United States and Iran are engaged in "good talks" during a pause in military strikes, raising hopes for a potential peace deal.

The lull in fighting comes after nearly two weeks of renewed US strikes on Iran, which had sparked fears of a wider regional conflict.

Despite the diplomatic overture, Trump warned that military action could resume if negotiations fail, while Iran's military command cautioned it would not leave any threat "unanswered." The pause has already impacted global markets, sending oil prices tumbling more than 2% amid investor optimism over de-escalation.
