🌍 US Pauses Strikes on Iran for a Second Day

The United States paused its strikes on Iran for a second straight day on Sunday, US media reported. The conflict is now nearing its fifth month.

⚔️ Iran Says It Halted Retaliatory Attacks

Iran said on Sunday it had halted retaliatory attacks on US allies in the region after Washington stopped its strikes. An army spokesman said Iran's strategy had been mainly retaliatory. However, Iran's armed forces warned the conflict could widen if the United States resumed its operations. The statements came ahead of a planned visit by the Israeli prime minister to Washington.

The Strait of Hormuz remains a central flashpoint between Washington and Tehran. Iran said it had stopped six vessels trying to pass through the strait over twenty-four hours after warnings. Tehran also said it had made progress in talks with Oman on shipping principles. The strait is a vital route for global energy shipments.

⚔️ Fighting Spreads to New Front in Yemen

Fighting has spread to a new front in the region. Houthi forces in Yemen said they downed a Saudi drone and claimed attacks on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia.

💰 Analysts Watch Iran's Economic Outlook

Analysts are watching the outlook for Iran's economy as the conflict expands beyond the Strait of Hormuz. Mediation efforts continue, but uncertainty remains high.

🌍 Syria Says It Seeks Security Deal With Israel

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said Damascus was working toward a security agreement with Israel.

He also ruled out any military intervention in Lebanon.

🌍 Israel to Allow International Force Into Gaza

⚔️ US Peace Plan for Gaza Remains Stalled

Much of Gaza remains in ruins after two years of conflict. A US peace plan set out steps including humanitarian aid, a Palestinian civilian administration, and the disarmament of Hamas.

⚔️ Russian and Ukrainian Strikes Kill at Least Ten

Strikes by Russian and Ukrainian forces killed at least ten people, reports said. The attacks came a day after twenty people were reported killed on both sides of the front line.

🌍 Debate Over the Nature of Rule in Kashmir

A commentary said Kashmiri writers and scholars are producing detailed analysis of Indian rule in the region. Some describe it as a form of settler-colonialism, pointing to legal changes since 2019 that ended special residency protections. India says the changes brought development and closer integration. The disputed region has long been claimed by both India and Pakistan.

🌍 Voting Begins in Pakistan-Administered Kashmir

Voters in the Mirpur area of Pakistan-administered Kashmir are preparing for the first phase of regional elections. Political leaders have traded sharp remarks during the campaign.
