Military strikes between the United States and Iran have paused for a second consecutive night, raising hopes for diplomacy. However, tensions in West Asia continue to escalate as Iran-backed Houthi rebels and Saudi Arabia exchange missile and drone attacks.

The Houthis claimed responsibility for attacks on Saudi oil facilities and the downing of a Saudi drone over Yemen, while Saudi Arabia says it intercepted drones targeting key energy infrastructure. Meanwhile, the United States has paused its bombing campaign against Iran to allow diplomatic efforts to continue.

Iran says it remains prepared to defend its national interests while maintaining contacts through mediators. The easing of direct US-Iran military action has boosted investor confidence, with global stock markets rising and oil prices falling.
