The Iranian military has said it will halt retaliatory strikes on US allies in the Gulf for as long as President Donald Trump holds off on attacking the country.

PREMIUM TIMES earlier reported that the US, after 13 days of consistent attacks on both military and civilian infrastructure in Tehran, abruptly suspended strikes. Both countries have not exchanged strikes since Saturday, the first time in 13 days.

The US Ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, told Fox News on Sunday that the president had decided to reconsider diplomatic negotiations.

He said Mr Trump was “giving talks some space; he’s giving it a little bit of room.”

In response to this, Iran’s army spokesman, Mohammad Akraminia, said the country will also be suspending strikes which in the past 13 days have primarily targeted Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan.
