> After weeks of escalating attacks and fears that the conflict could widen, President Donald Trump says the United States and Israel have agreed to halt additional strikes on Iran. The pause would depend on reaching a deal to end the conflict quickly. The announcement represents a sharp change in tone after Trump recently warned that Iran would be hit “very hard.” Iran promptly denied that any such agreement existed, rejected Trump’s account and raised fresh doubts about whether diplomacy is moving closer to a breakthrough.
