US President Donald Trump has ordered a temporary halt to new military strikes on Iran, according to reports in various US media outlets. This decision comes after 13 consecutive days of conflict.
The reports state that the White House decided to temporarily suspend military operations due to concerns that a wider conflict could quickly deplete the US air defense missile stockpiles deployed in the Middle East. At the same time, creating an opportunity for diplomatic resolution through negotiations is now seen as Washington’s priority.
Sources claim that the Trump administration’s decision does not signal a permanent ceasefire. Instead, the option to resume military operations if necessary, after observing the situation, remains open. Meanwhile, various reports also mention ongoing efforts to facilitate potential talks with Iran through Omani mediation.
Although there are indications of a temporary decrease in the intensity of the conflict, the overall security situation in the Middle East remains extremely tense. Analysts fear that if diplomatic efforts fail, the conflict could escalate to new dimensions.
