Iran marks first night without US strikes in two weeks as tensions persist

For the first time in two weeks, Iran enjoyed a night without U.S. retaliatory strikes, ending a cycle of escalating military actions that followed an alleged breach of a ceasefire agreement. Despite the calm, tensions remain high as both nations continue to accuse each other of violating the truce. This brief respite could signal a potential pause in the conflict, but experts worry it might just be a temporary lull in a larger, ongoing struggle. The situation underscores the fragile nature of peace agreements in volatile regions and the need for sustained diplomatic efforts.
