Iran’s top diplomat says there is no military solution to the conflict involving the United States and Iran, as peace talks appear stalled. The statement comes as Washington reduces military operations and relies more on economic pressure rather than sustained attacks.

Across reports, outlets describe a recent shift in how the conflict is pursued: a heavy bombardment campaign launched by the US and Israel in late February has not produced a decisive end to the war. Instead, the US “dials back” military activity while applying pressure through economic measures. Meanwhile, Iran’s actions around the Strait of Hormuz remain a central dispute.

One report also adds a maritime incident: a UK maritime agency says another tanker is hit by an unidentified projectile. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis, with some focusing more on the diplomatic message (“no military solution”) while others foreground the changing balance between military operations and economic pressure, as well as the ongoing contention over shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
