Iran announced on Sunday that it was suspending its retaliatory attacks on Gulf states following the cessation of US airstrikes.
Iranian military spokesman Mohammad Akrami Nia said, “The Americans stopped their attacks during the past two nights, and since our strategy is based primarily on responding in kind, we have also stopped our retaliatory operations.”
A U.S. official at the Department of Defense (the Pentagon) confirmed the suspension of military operations against Iran, without providing further details.
According to initial estimates, US President Donald Trump made the decision during a meeting with his senior advisors on Friday, during which he was discussing options for expanding military operations against Iran, in order to pressure it to return to the negotiating table on his administration’s terms.
