The United States and Iran have paused military operations after 13 consecutive nights of reciprocal strikes. According to reporting from multiple sources, no attacks occurred overnight Friday into Saturday, marking the first break in the cycle of tit-for-tat exchanges in two weeks.
Iran’s health ministry confirmed through a social media post that the country experienced no new attacks during the overnight period. The sources indicate that the strikes had been occurring over alleged violations of a ceasefire agreement signed the previous month, though the exact terms and nature of these alleged violations are not detailed in the available reports.
The pause represents a potential de-escalation in the military exchanges between the two countries, though sources note that broader tensions between the U.S. and Iran remain unresolved. It remains unclear whether the break in strikes is permanent or temporary, or what triggered the cessation of the 13-day pattern of military action.
