Iran said it had a peaceful night with no strikes overnight into Saturday, and reported that U.S. Central Command had not announced another strike round. In the same update, Saudi civil-defense authorities said they had briefly activated warning sirens in Yanbu and Jizan, both on the Red Sea coast, and Bahrain also issued missile alerts. The alerts were lifted without casualty reports.

Context

A pause in announced strike activity after a 13-night run suggests tactical restraint, but the simultaneous alert cycle in key Gulf facilities shows the conflict remains near-escalation: shipping exposure, market nerves, and rapid force-mobility decisions stay elevated.
