Washington, September 20: The United States is currently evaluating its response to the recent attack on Riyadh, carried out by Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. President Donald Trump, who returned to the White House early from Camp David, is said to have been focused on deliberating and reviewing potential strike options in Yemen during his meeting at the presidential retreat.
US embassies across Middle Eastern countries, which are likely to face retaliatory strikes, have issued warnings in response. Iran's security chief, Mohsen Rezaei, has expressed Iran's willingness to mediate and suggested conditions for ending the conflict, including the cessation of hostilities on all fronts, the release of frozen funds, and the lifting of the naval blockade.
The situation has further complicated regional security, with increased military activity reported and heightened tensions across West Asia.
