1) The US and Iran held off attacks on one another for a third straight night, helping lift global stock and bond markets and push down oil prices. President Trump is giving diplomacy “some space,” according to Mike Waltz, Washington’s ambassador to the United Nations, after Trump threatened to step up attacks in Iran. Iran’s army says it has halted its retaliation against US bases and troops in the region as a result of Trump’s decision to hold off on strikes, but tensions between the warring sides remain high.

Seattle police are investigating and advised people to avoid the area, with one suspect taken into custody and another suspect remaining at large. The shooting happened during the Bite of Seattle festival, with police believing that two people were shooting at each other and asking witnesses to come forward with information.
