Iran says it will halt strikes as long as US bombing pause holds
Iran says it will match the U.S. pause as mediators push to keep shipping talks alive and prevent another round of strikes.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump announced the United States paused military strikes on Iran following a request from Tehran after 13 consecutive days of nightly bombing.
- CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper recommended stopping attacks after the campaign hit its limit of effectiveness and significantly degraded Iran's position around the Strait of Hormuz.
- Trump told reporters on Air Force One that meeting requests prove the strikes succeeded, stating, "Without what we did, they wouldn't even be talking to us."
- Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei denied direct U.S. negotiations Monday, saying resuming talks is not in Iran's "DNA" despite discussing maritime passage with Oman.
- United Nations Ambassador Mike Waltz acknowledged the pause aims at "giving diplomacy some space," while Trump warned he will order "strong military action" if negotiations fail.
