US and Iran Maintain Ceasefire for Third Day, Raising Hopes for Diplomatic Talks

This calm follows weeks of heightened tensions and has fueled optimism that both sides may be willing to return to diplomatic negotiations. If sustained, the ceasefire could reduce the risk of a broader regional conflict and open the door for talks on key issues like Iran's nuclear program.
