US Halts Iran Strikes, Seeks Talks Amid Regional Tensions

The United States announced it has called off a major military strike against Iran and will resume negotiations for a nuclear deal, yet Iran has denied direct talks with the US, stating it is in discussions with Oman regarding the management of the Strait of Hormuz.

This development led to a drop in global oil prices, but Iran reaffirmed its support for Hamas, while Israel continued military operations in the Gaza Strip.

Israel has conveyed concerns to the US regarding a proposed disarmament deal with Hamas, emphasizing that Hamas's complete disarmament is a prerequisite for Israeli withdrawal.

Amid these complex dynamics, with 19 people reportedly killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza, the future of US diplomatic efforts and the region's entrenched conflicts remains uncertain.
