Iran says it will halt strikes as long as US bombing pause holds
A senior Iranian source said Tehran will stop retaliatory strikes if Washington keeps its bombing pause, as oil prices fell on easing conflict fears.
- After 13 nights of United States airstrikes on Iran, President Donald Trump suspended the campaign late on Friday. Iran has held fire for two days, offering to maintain the pause if the United States does the same.
- Trump halted the campaign after advisers including Pentagon Chief of Staff Dan Caine and Vice President Vance raised concerns about dwindling United States missile defense stocks protecting regional bases.
- A senior Iranian source told Reuters that Tehran maintains an "attack for attack" policy: "if the attacks stop, Iran will also halt its operations." The source added Iran is prepared to mount a broad response if the United States resumes strikes.
- Brent crude price surged above $100 for the first time since May, while Iranian-backed Houthis fired on Saudi Red Sea oil targets on Saturday, threatening a critical energy shipping chokepoint.
- Mike Waltz, United Nations ambassador, said the pause allows "space" for diplomacy, yet Tehran expressed skepticism, viewing the decision as tactical rather than a genuine shift in United States negotiating position.
