President Trump announced he is halting a new round of strikes on Iran, citing Arab allies' agreement on a 5-month ceasefire framework that includes opening the Strait of Hormuz. The US State Department simultaneously issued a travel warning across the Middle East, advising US citizens to prepare for possible flight cancellations and airspace closures. While Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince reportedly urged restraint to avoid escalation, Iran's Defence Minister dismissed the announcement as unsurprising and maintained vigilance against US threats.
