According to The New York Times, Iran and the United States are discussing a one-page plan that would introduce a 30-day halt to hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The proposal is being considered as a temporary measure while work continues on a broader agreement. At the same time, reports emerged the day before about Iranian strikes on U.S. destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz. The Pentagon said all attacks had been repelled.

Political analyst and reserve colonel Aleksandr Perendzhiev believes there is currently no real ceasefire between Washington and Tehran. In his view, the fighting has not stopped but has shifted into a different format.

According to Perendzhiev, cited by aif.ru, the situation is not about large-scale missile strikes, yet combat clashes in the Strait of Hormuz continue, including with the use of missiles. He said the sides are still exchanging blows, so it is too early to speak of a truce.

The analyst added that tensions in the Middle East may ease in some areas while rising again in others. He compared the situation to waves, with escalation repeatedly weakening and intensifying. At the same time, he stressed that the confrontation between Washington and Tehran has not stopped for a moment.
