Middle East: No fresh US strikes on Iran for a second day

Deutsche Welle · back to the audit
No US strikes were reported on Iran on Saturday and Sunday after the US military mounted a 13-night volley of escalating bombardments.

The US military did not announce any new strikes on Sunday but said that a "naval blockade against Iran remains in full effect."

CNN cited a US official as saying that Vice President JD Vance and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine both raised concerns about the US defense stockpile with Trump during a White House meeting on Friday. The official told CNN that Washington's operations against Tehran were "on a hold."

US President Donald Trump, on Thursday told US news-outlet Axios that he was mulling "a massive attack" on Iran which he described as being "bigger than ever before." But he also says that talks with Iran are pressing ahead. "We're talking to them right now. I think they're getting more and more serious," Trump told journalists on Friday.
