- Israel halts military strikes against Iran following a phone call between Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump, with Netanyahu stating the country's 'fire is on hold'
- Iran announces it will cease attacks but warns it remains ready to resume hostilities if the ceasefire is breached
- Trump claims progress toward renewed nuclear talks, a development cited by Israeli officials as the catalyst for the current de-escalation
Why it matters: The pause breaks a cycle of escalating retaliation, giving diplomatic channels a narrow opening. Any breach could reignite conflict, risking regional instability and drawing in U.S. forces.
