美国与伊朗在数天密集交火后已连续第二天未进行新的军事打击[1][2]。美国此前对伊朗进行了连续13晚的空袭[1]，伊朗则对中东地区美军基地进行了反击，在约旦基地造成至少3名美国服务人员丧生，在伊拉克造成1人死亡[2]。双方暂停攻击引发了对谈判重启的期待，据报美国和伊朗正在中介方斡旋下就临时停火协议进行磋商，协议的核心议题涉及伊朗对霍尔木兹海峡船舶通行的管理权问题[2]。
冲突范围已扩大至多个地区。也门胡塞武装发言人雅希亚·萨里宣称"成功击落了沙特的土耳其制造武装侦察无人机"[1]。伊朗指控乌克兰在里海攻击其商船，导致一名水手死亡、另一人受伤[1]，乌克兰总统泽连斯基表示其军队在里海进行了远程打击，目标是"参与运输伊朗军事货物的船只和一艘军舰"[1]。伊朗军队发言人穆罕默德·阿克拉米尼亚警告称，"如果美国人坚持继续战争，特别是通过空袭，地理范围将进一步扩大"[1]。
美国总统特朗普在周四表示正在考虑对伊朗进行"有史以来最大的攻击"，但同时透露正在与伊朗进行谈判[1]。霍尔木兹海峡的商业运输流量已跌至三周低位[2]。
The United States and Iran have refrained from launching new military attacks for a second straight day, marking a pause in escalating hostilities across the region.[1][2] This comes after the US conducted 13 consecutive nights of airstrikes on Iran, while Iran previously responded with attacks on American military installations in the Middle East.[1][2] Over the past 72 hours, no confirmed new attacks have been recorded from either side.[2]
The temporary ceasefire has coincided with diplomatic efforts to negotiate a lasting agreement.[2] A 60-day interim accord signed in mid-June has entered its final phase, with negotiations now centered on Iran's management of shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.[2] Commercial vessel flows through the critical waterway have dropped to their lowest levels in three weeks.[2] However, tensions remain volatile. US President Trump stated on Thursday that he is considering "the largest attack in history" against Iran, while simultaneously indicating that negotiations with the Iranian leadership are underway.[1]
The conflict has already expanded geographically beyond traditional focal points. Yemen's Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sari claimed the group "successfully shot down a Saudi Turkish-made armed reconnaissance drone."[1] Iran's military spokesman Mohammad Akrami warned that "if the Americans insist on continuing the war, especially through airstrikes, the geographic scope will be further expanded."[1] Additionally, Iran accused Ukraine of attacking its commercial vessels in the Caspian Sea, resulting in one sailor's death and another wounded,[1] while Ukrainian President Zelensky confirmed that Ukrainian forces conducted long-range strikes in the Caspian Sea targeting "ships involved in transporting Iranian military cargo and a military vessel."[1] Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed "complete" support for Trump's efforts to weaken Iran during a Sunday appearance on Fox News and is scheduled to meet with Trump in Washington on Tuesday.[2]
