Iran's Health Ministry spokesman Hossein Kermanpour said 'Iran had a peaceful night,' and CENTCOM did not announce a new round after 13 straight nights of strikes. Saudi Civil Defense sounded alerts in Yanbu and Jizan and later lifted them, and Bahrain issued missile alerts, with no casualties reported.

Two regional sources later told CBS the pause was meant to protect Omani-Iranian talks on the strait, while Trump said the U.S. remained 'locked and loaded.'
