President Trump has told advisers he may hold off on military strikes against Iran absent new provocations, according to a First Squawk report. The signal points to a pause rather than a stand-down, leaving the option open should Tehran or allied forces escalate. The development matters for markets because it lowers the near-term risk of a wider Middle East conflict that could disrupt oil flows and rattle risk assets. Traders will watch for fresh provocations and any official confirmation of the shift in posture.
