Iran announced it would suspend its missile barrage, citing the Reuters report that the offensive had cost it a ↓ 15% drop in operational tempo. Israeli defense officials, meanwhile, signaled a willingness to de‑escalate, noting a modest ↑ 5% rise in regional monitoring assets.

“The path to stability hinges on mutual restraint,” a senior analyst told AP News.

Analysts warn that any slip could reignite hostilities, a concern still fresh in the memory of the recent pandemic‑era supply chain shocks.
