The US has paused its series of strikes on Iran to avoid disrupting Tehran's in-person diplomatic talks with Oman, the CBS broadcaster has reported, citing unnamed regional officials.
On July 24 and 25, several rounds of dialogue between Iran and Oman were held in Tehran at the level of deputy foreign ministers, during which the sides discussed general principles and practical mechanisms for managing safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's Foreign Ministry said. The ministry added that progress was made in the dialogue on Hormuz navigation, though the situation in the waterway remains unchanged.
Axios reported on Saturday, citing sources, that the US military was continuing to prepare contingency plans for a return to large-scale military action against Iran, though President Donald Trump had not yet issued such orders. According to the outlet, Trump ordered a halt to further strikes on Friday, breaking a 13-day streak of consecutive attacks.
