As U.S. Pauses Strikes, Iran Is No Rush to Resume Cease-Fire Talks

Iran's leaders are in no hurry to resume cease-fire talks with the US, despite a temporary pause in strikes. Analysts believe Iran is taking this stance because its leaders think they can withstand more pressure than President Trump. This strategy is also driven by Iran's leverage over the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for global oil supplies. Iran's approach suggests a prolonged standoff between the two nations is possible.
