The US administration is holding behind-the-scenes diplomatic talks with Iran to de-escalate tensions.
Modern.az reports that CNN reported this, citing an American official.
According to the source, the White House maintains a list of targets as a possible means of pressure and is ready to launch new strikes in the coming hours if necessary. However, Washington's main priority at the moment is to find diplomatic solutions.
According to CNN correspondent Pamela Brown, the US is using a strategy of certain pauses to prevent escalation in military operations involving Iran and to allow for diplomatic efforts.
A White House source said that Washington had previously resorted to the tactic of "strike and then stop."
