The U.S. military has paused its nearly two-week-long campaign of consecutive nightly airstrikes on Iran, with no reported strikes overnight on July 25, 2026. This sudden silence comes amid an escalation of attacks between Houthi rebels and Saudi Arabia, both sides exchanging fire in a battle over Red Sea shipping lanes. The development marks a significant shift in the regional conflict dynamics, as the U.S. had been conducting sustained strikes on Iranian targets. The article, published by Fortune, also notes the broader economic context, with oil prices hovering near the $100 per barrel 'psychological' threshold, and references related coverage on inflation and energy costs.
