In a significant de-escalation of the Middle East crisis, military strikes on Iran have been suspended for a period of five days. This strategic pause comes as Donald Trump reportedly steps up diplomatic pressure to stabilize global oil prices, which have skyrocketed due to the conflict. Sources indicate that a 5-day cooling-off period has been agreed upon to discuss a potential settlement. Trump’s intervention is being seen as a move to protect the global economy from a total energy collapse. If the truce holds, it could mark the beginning of the end for one of the most volatile conflicts of 2026.
