Trump orders pause on US military strikes in Iran, reports say
US President Donald Trump has reportedly ordered a halt to military strikes against Iran, ending 13 consecutive nights of bombardment triggered by Strait of Hormuz incidents.
US President Donald Trump has instructed the American military to pause air strikes against Iran, ending a 13-day campaign of nightly bombardment. According to reports citing informed sources, the directive resulted in the first night without US attacks on Iranian territory in nearly two weeks.
Washington initiated the military campaign in early July after accusing Tehran of shelling commercial vessels navigating through the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The situation remains sensitive, and official confirmation regarding a broader diplomatic shift or permanent ceasefire has not yet been issued by the White House or Iranian authorities.
