HEADLINE: Iran marks first night without US strikes in two weeks as tensions persist (The Hill, July 25, 2026)

The U.S. and Iran militaries did not exchange fire overnight Saturday, breaking a streak of 13 consecutive days of tit-for-tat strikes over alleged violations of a ceasefire agreement signed last month. 'It seems our dear Iran had a peaceful night last night, and no part of its body was struck or hit,' Hossein Kermanpour wrote in a post translated from Persian. 'Iran's body is intact. Iranian head is healthy.' Still, tensions remain high between the two sides as this conflict stretches into its fifth month. In a lengthy speech at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner on Friday evening, the president addressed the state of the talks. 'By the way, they are talking to us right now,' Trump told a crowd of reporters. 'They'd love to make a deal. I don't think they're ready to. I don't think it's time yet, but I'm willing to listen.'
