US and Iran pause their attacks after days of escalation

The United States and Iran paused their attacks for a second consecutive day as efforts to revive an interim ceasefire continue. Both sides have halted strikes, with Iran's army spokesperson confirming the pause, while regional officials describe it as a 'positive signal' for de-escalation. The conflict, sparked by Iran's attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz and U.S. counterstrikes, has caused regional tensions and disrupted shipping.
