US and Iran pause attacks for second consecutive day amid ceasefire talks

The United States paused its attacks on Iran for a second straight day on Sunday, and Tehran confirmed it had done the same. Efforts are ongoing to bring both countries back to negotiations on an interim ceasefire deal, which was largely undermined by the recent exchange of fire. The US had been targeting Iranian coastal areas and infrastructure for nearly two weeks after Iran fired on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
