In a moment that echoes the ancient tension between the sword and the olive branch, Donald Trump announced a pause in military operations against Iran on Friday, choosing to hold force in reserve while opening a window for rapid diplomatic negotiation. The decision does not represent a retreat so much as a recalibration — a wager that the credible threat of resumed strikes may accomplish what the strikes themselves could not. History reminds us that such pauses are neither peace nor war, but the fragile space where both remain possible.
