U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz says President Donald Trump is pausing U.S. strikes on Iran to give diplomacy more room. Speaking to Fox News, Waltz said Trump is “giving talks some space” and “a little bit of room,” but he does not provide further details on the status or progress of negotiations with Tehran. The remarks come amid a period of frequent U.S. attacks on Iran reported over the past weeks. According to Middle East Eye, U.S. strikes have halted for two consecutive nights after 13 days of daily attacks. The same report says Tehran announces on Sunday that it will halt attacks on Gulf states. Other coverage presented the same core claim from Waltz without adding new specifics. Overall, the accounts align on the diplomatic rationale Waltz attributes to Trump’s decision and on the reported pause in strikes, while offering limited information about the substance of any talks or conditions tied to the halt.
