Trump Reverses Decision on Strikes Against Houthis Amid Iran-US Tensions
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly shifted his stance on military action against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen following urgent appeals from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. After initially resisting, Trump ordered preparations for airstrikes, including target approvals and weapon loading, but called off the strikes at the last moment. Meanwhile, Iran has sent conditions for negotiations to the US via Qatar, warning of decisive war if demands are unmet. The conflict raises regional tensions amid concerns over global energy supplies and ongoing US-Iran hostilities.
