US-Iran tensions pause airstrikes, diplomatic path debated
The United States has paused airstrikes against Iran for two days following 13 nights of attacks, though a naval blockade remains in effect. President Trump is reportedly weighing renewed military action and has stated the US and Iran are talking to end their dispute, but Iran is not yet ready for a deal. Regional experts view the pause as a positive signal for de-escalation, while Iran warns of a "heavier price." Pakistan has requested payment from the US for mediation.
