U.S. pauses attacks on Iran for a second straight day and Tehran does too

The United States and Iran have both paused their attacks for a second consecutive day as efforts persist to return both nations to negotiations regarding an interim ceasefire. While this temporary halt is in effect, experts have raised questions concerning the long-term sustainability of such pauses and how long both the U.S. and Iran can realistically afford to avoid continuing their offensive operations against one another during this period of diplomatic tension.
