Donald Trump reportedly ordered the U.S. military to pause planned strikes against Iran after 13 days of attacks, according to [samaa.tv] (samaa.tv). The halt in airstrikes came as reports emerged about dwindling munitions and concerns over missile stockpiles, suggesting a renewed push for diplomacy. This lull has revived hopes for renewed negotiations following nearly two weeks of consecutive nightly U.S. bombardments against Iran, stated [dawn.com] (dawn.com). However, the pause could also reflect pressure on U.S. stockpiles of defensive weapons like Patriot interceptors. The diplomatic efforts seem to be pressing forward despite potential concerns over increasing gas prices due to the ongoing conflict, as suggested by [arabnews.pk] (arabnews.pk). The U.S. military has paused its airstrikes on Iran after nearly two weeks of intensifying bombing, while diplomatic avenues seek to avert an escalation to full-scale war, noted [arabnews.pk] (arabnews.pk). The situation remains fluid, and it is uncertain if this marks an inflection point in the ongoing conflict, which will reach five months Tuesday.
