WASHINGTON – The United States did not conduct military strikes against Iran for a second consecutive night, officials confirmed Saturday. This pause followed two weeks of U.S. attacks targeting Iranian assets.
President Donald Trump ordered the military to halt strikes on Friday. This decision aligned with ongoing discussions about peace and the Strait of Hormuz.
Sources indicated that Senators Mike Lee and Rand Paul communicated concerns about escalating conflict in Iran to the administration. Their input came as the U.S. ceased its overnight military actions.
U.S. forces had conducted strikes against Iran for a two-week period prior to the pause.
