US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has told international counterparts that the US does not plan further attacks on Iran, according to media reports.

The New York Times reports the Trump administration is also restaffing Middle East embassies, indicating it does not expect a larger war. These statements follow a period of heightened tensions, including US threats of severe sanctions and Iranian warnings of retaliation. The reported stance signals a potential de-escalation in the ongoing conflict.
