Refinitiv, citing three people, reports Trump told senior advisers he may postpone military strikes on Iran if Iran and Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen do not carry out new provocative actions. He has been weighing escalation against winding down operations and has not decided on a course. After meetings with his national security adviser and a series of intelligence briefings, Trump said he was considering a delay and signaled some alignment with regional allies urging avoidance of a wider war.
