## Resource

Tensions between the U.S. and Iran have briefly eased as both sides pause attacks for two straight days, offering a glimmer of hope amid weeks of escalating conflict. While the U.S. military disabled a ship trying to breach its blockade, skies remain clear of new strikes — a move analysts believe gives diplomacy breathing room, especially as President Trump pushes for renewed negotiations. Iran has halted its retaliatory strikes, which had hit U.S. bases in Jordan and Iraq, while Oman plays a key mediating role. Despite a fragile interim ceasefire deal now in its final stretch — with Iran’s nuclear program still unresolved — shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has plummeted to a three-week low. Meanwhile, Israeli PM Netanyahu heads to Washington to back Trump’s pressure on Iran, endorsing diplomatic solutions while warning against further aggression.
