- The United States and Iran halted strikes after two days of deadly attacks across the Middle East, with mediating nations attempting to restart diplomacy.
- Washington remains committed to negotiations with Tehran, a US official told Al Jazeera, noting that technical talks continue despite the recent escalation.
Why it matters: Two days of strikes did not collapse the diplomatic channel — a US official confirmed technical talks with Tehran are still active, meaning mediating nations have a live (if fragile) off-ramp to prevent the conflict from sliding back into open warfare.
