The US has reached another critical point in its dealings with Iran. President Donald Trump's options appear to be becoming increasingly limited, with the costs of any action rising. The Trump administration has explained that a recent pause in airstrikes was intended to create space for diplomacy.

However, it has also warned that it is prepared for a potential escalation. Some diplomatic activity has been reported, including talks between Iran and Oman. Further details on the situation are available from KVIA ABC-7's source, CNN.
