After nearly two weeks of intense fighting, the United States and Iran have paused military attacks for a second consecutive day, raising hopes for renewed diplomacy. While Washington says President Donald Trump is giving negotiations through Oman "some space," reports suggest concerns over dwindling Patriot and THAAD interceptor missile stockpiles may also have influenced the decision. The White House has rejected claims of ammunition shortages, insisting the U.S. has ample military resources. As talks continue over shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, the fragile interim ceasefire remains in place. However, Iran's nuclear programme remains unresolved, leaving the risk of renewed conflict.
