Thirteen nights of strikes gave way to an unexpected three-day pause. Firstpost breaks down the key developments that unfolded over the weekend after nearly two weeks of escalating conflict. President Donald Trump halted further escalation, with the White House saying the move was intended to give diplomacy more room. However, US media reports suggested the decision also came after most pre-selected Iranian targets had been struck and Patriot interceptor stockpiles had been depleted. Trump rejected those claims, insisting America has more than enough munitions. Meanwhile, Iran defended its retaliatory strategy, an oil tanker struck a naval mine in the Strait of Hormuz, and Tehran reportedly laid down conditions for future talks, including control over the Strait and the release of frozen assets. Gursshheen Gahllen tells you more.
