美国军方已暂停持续近两周的空袭行动[1]，伊朗随之也停止了军事攻击[2]。这一罕见的相互克制为外交努力创造了窗口，两国都表示希望恢复6月份达成的临时停火协议[1]。然而，这场已持续五个月、始于2月28日的冲突能否真正化解仍存疑问[1]。
伊朗高级官员表示，其立场为"以牙还牙"——只要美国停止袭击，伊朗也将停止军事行动[2]。但伊朗方面对美国暂停的真实意图持怀疑态度，认为这可能只是策略性举动而非真诚谈判[2]。与此同时，美国总统特朗普既威胁采取进一步打击，又表示谈判正在进行中[1]，他声称伊朗"还没准备好"达成协议，但"随着日子的推移，他们变得越来越认真"[1]。
当前外交谈判的焦点集中在伊朗在霍尔木兹海峡对船舶的限制条件上[1]。伊朗和阿曼已进行了多轮技术谈判[1]。霍尔木兹海峡通常运输全球20%的石油，是全球能源供应的战略要道[1]。
The United States military has halted airstrikes after nearly two weeks of sustained bombing campaigns, creating an opening for diplomatic negotiations aimed at preventing further escalation [1][2]. The pause, which began on the evening of July 24th, has now extended through multiple days without reported American strikes [2]. Iran has reciprocated by ceasing its own military operations for two days, with Iranian officials stating a position of proportional response: if the United States maintains its suspension of attacks, Iran will continue to hold fire [2].
The underlying conflict, which began on February 28th and has now persisted for five months, centers on Iranian restrictions affecting vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway that typically carries approximately 20 percent of global oil shipments [1]. Both nations have signaled interest in returning to a temporary ceasefire agreement reached in June, and technical negotiations between Iran and Oman over the weekend addressed maritime passage through the strait [1]. However, skepticism remains on the Iranian side regarding American intentions, with officials viewing the current pause as a potentially tactical maneuver rather than evidence of genuine commitment to dialogue [2].
US President Trump has outlined two possible paths forward: continuing military pressure against Iran or engaging in negotiations, which he stated are currently underway [1]. Trump indicated that Iran is not yet prepared to reach an agreement but acknowledged that "as the days go by, they are becoming increasingly serious" [1]. He met Friday with national security advisors to discuss the situation [1].
