During a live broadcast on Sunday, LiveNOW from FOX anchor Andy Macnow reported that the United States has paused attacks on Iran for a second consecutive day, with Tehran said to be doing the same.
The pause follows nearly two weeks of US strikes on Iranian coastal areas and infrastructure — an escalation triggered by Iran firing at ships attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz. The anchor did not specify why the US halted the strikes.
Mike Waltz, described on air as the US ambassador to the United Nations, said on Fox News earlier that the president is "giving some space, giving a little bit of room." Waltz said negotiations are active across multiple tiers.
We've had both Oman and Iran and a number of other negotiators engaged at every level from the most senior levels all the way down to the technical levels over the past few weeks and particularly in the last few days.
Waltz also pushed back on the suggestion that US interceptor stockpiles — critical for defending against Iranian attacks — are running low. The anchor noted that experts have questioned how long both the US and Iran can sustain the current pace.
Efforts to bring the two sides back to an interim ceasefire deal have been largely undermined by recent exchanges of fire, the anchor reported. The broadcast also flagged upcoming developments this week, including a meeting involving Netanyahu, though the details were not clearly stated on air.
