A tense period of escalation between the United States and Iran appears to have momentarily cooled.

This development comes after a series of retaliatory actions that threatened to destabilize ongoing discussions regarding a permanent resolution.

By holding fire, the Trump administration appears to be signaling a preference for a political solution over continued military engagement.
