Middle East: President Donald Trump has reportedly directed the US military not to carry out new strikes in Iran, breaking a nearly two-week streak of daily attacks. Trump had approved strike plans every day for the previous 13 days but did not give the military the go-ahead on Friday. It remains unclear whether the pause is temporary or will continue. Israeli officials said the country's security cabinet and military had expected another round of US strikes and had even prepared for a major attack that could trigger Iranian retaliation against Israel. Following the quiet night in Iran, there were also no reports on Saturday of Iranian attacks on its Gulf neighbours, which had also been taking place daily. Join EJN:
