Reports indicate that negotiations between Oman and Iran have made progress, and Trump called a halt to strikes against Iran on Friday.

According to Axios News, two sources said that President Trump instructed the U.S. military on Friday not to launch new strikes against Iran, breaking nearly two weeks of continuous daily attacks. Trump's order came after 13 consecutive days of strikes against Iran. It is unclear whether Trump's order on Friday was a one-off event or indicates that the calm will continue. Trump's decision reflects both his willingness to leave more room for diplomacy and his acknowledgment that the effectiveness of U.S. strikes has reached its limit without a resumption of large-scale military operations. If Trump orders a resumption of strikes, the U.S. military can mobilize in a relatively short time. Sources said the U.S. military is still developing plans for a possible resumption of large-scale military operations, but Trump has not yet given orders to move in that direction. The White House has not responded. In addition, an Omani delegation arrived in Tehran on Friday to negotiate new arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz. Sources said the negotiations have made progress, and an agreement between Oman and Iran may be reached over the weekend. Trump will then decide whether to accept the proposed agreement. (Jinshi)
