After two consecutive nights without US strikes on Iran, and amid reports that President Trump decided to freeze the expansion of the campaign, Iranian military spokesman Amir Akraminia announced that Tehran has halted its attacks. According to him, Iran's strategy was reactive, so with the cessation of US strikes, Iran also stopped. However, he warned that any renewal of US strikes would expand the conflict. Meanwhile, according to reports, the US and Iran have transmitted their responses to mediators Qatar and Pakistan regarding a proposal to resume talks. A Revolutionary Guards spokesman claimed that Iran used the ceasefire to accelerate missile production and improve their accuracy. Earlier, the New York Times reported that Trump backed down from his threats to expand the strikes, partly due to concerns over a shortage of Patriot interceptors.
