U.S.-Iran fighting appears to pause. And, life inside Israel's military zones in Gaza
Page 11/24

KAHN: Qatar's foreign minister, who's the lead mediator in the talks, yesterday was making a round of calls, speaking to the regional partners and attempting to just reengage every - all sides in the conflict.

INSKEEP: I think analysts have assumed the United States just would not want to go back to full-scale war and that the Iranians probably wouldn't either, but what do you hear in the region as the firing continues from time to time?

KAHN: I'd say the situation is very tense right now throughout the region. You know, in this latest round of attacks by Iran, not only were missiles and drones fired at multiple Gulf states. Jordan said it intercepted incoming fire from Iran, too, and that's not a usual target for Iran. Iran issued new threats to the UAE just yesterday, and shipping traffic in the vital Strait of Hormuz has also dropped dramatically in the last couple days. Here in Israel, there's a concern about whether they'll get back into the war.
