US pauses Iran strikes as Trump says talks with Tehran continue

The United States has paused air strikes on Iran after 13 consecutive nights of bombing, with US President Donald Trump saying Washington and Tehran remain in contact as diplomatic efforts continue.

According to US officials, military operations have been paused to allow negotiations to continue through regional mediators. The developments come as tensions remain high across the Middle East, with concerns growing over the security of the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

Meanwhile, Iran's oil minister says the country has earned $18 billion in oil sales since the conflict began despite international sanctions, raising fresh questions about the effectiveness of Washington's economic pressure campaign.

The report also examines the role of regional allies, the threat of a wider conflict involving the Houthis, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's upcoming visit to Washington.
