Iran reports no new U.S. strikes as tensions remain high

Associated Press · back to the audit

Iran reported no strikes overnight into Saturday, an apparent break from nearly two weeks of consecutive nights of U.S. attacks, but tensions remain high following a recent escalation over control of the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Iranian Health Ministry spokesperson Hossein Kermanpour posted on X, saying that 'Iran had a peaceful night,' without any attacks reported. The U.S. military fired Friday on a merchant vessel in the Gulf of Oman that was trying to breach its renewed blockade of Iran's ports, while Iran targeted U.S.-allied Gulf Arab countries. The war has so far killed more than 3,400 people in Iran, according to the Iranian Health Ministry. Eighteen U.S. service members, 24 civilians in Israel, and smaller numbers of civilians were reported dead in countries across the region.
