United States halts nightly attacks on Iran as Congress backs troop‑withdrawal resolution

For the first time in 13 consecutive nights, the United States did not launch air strikes against Iran, breaking a recent pattern of nightly attacks linked to the broader conflict over the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian officials noted a quiet night, while U.S. Central Command gave no comment. The pause came amid regional alerts in Saudi Arabia's Yanbu and Jizan provinces and missile warnings from Bahrain, though no casualties were reported.

In Washington, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution urging the withdrawal of American troops from the war with Iran. The measure, supported by a handful of Republican lawmakers and Democrats, is largely symbolic but comes after four U.S. servicemen were killed in recent Iranian attacks, raising the total U.S. military deaths to 18 since the conflict began on 28 February. The resolution highlights congressional attempts to check the executive’s war‑making authority amid ongoing hostilities that have involved attacks on oil facilities, shipping in the Red Sea, and regional allies.
