U.S. and Iran Announce Pause in Hostilities Amid Diplomatic Efforts

The United States and Iran have announced a pause in hostilities over the weekend, following nearly two weeks of intensifying airstrikes. This development comes as diplomatic efforts are reportedly pushing forward to avert a return to all-out conflict. U.S. Vice President JD Vance and the nation's top military general reportedly urged President Donald Trump to avoid a major escalation in the war with Iran during a high-stakes meeting on Friday.
