A fresh diplomatic opening appears to be emerging in the ongoing West Asia conflict, with Iran confirming that communication channels with the United States remain active through mediators. Iranian officials said messages continue to be exchanged between the two sides and indicated that Tehran has halted retaliatory military operations after the US paused its strikes. The development comes after nearly two weeks of intense military confrontation, during which both countries exchanged repeated attacks and the region witnessed growing fears of a wider war. According to Iranian officials, Tehran has maintained that its military actions were purely retaliatory and that it has refrained from launching fresh attacks since American strikes came to a halt. Reports also suggest that there have been no major US attacks on Iranian targets over the past two days, raising cautious optimism that both sides are willing to give diplomacy another opportunity. The US has reportedly been pushing for a temporary ceasefire to create space for negotiations, while Iran has signalled that indirect dialogue has continued despite the conflict.
