Iran reported no strikes overnight into Saturday, an apparent break from nearly two weeks of consecutive nights of US attacks, according to Al Jazeera.

The Iranian health ministry’s spokesperson, Hossein Kermanpour, said that “Iran had a peaceful night”. Unlike the previous 13 nights, US Central Command did not announce new strikes.

The war has so far killed more than 3,400 people in Iran, according to the ministry. Eighteen US service members, 24 civilians in Israel and smaller numbers of civilians have also been reported dead in countries across the region.
