President Donald Trump has reportedly told senior advisers that he may refrain from attacking Iran if there are no further provocations from Tehran or the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. The US President has shown a fluctuating stance on the unpopular conflict, which was initiated in February, and has not yet made a final decision on its resolution.
In meetings with his national security advisers and after intelligence briefings, Trump considered holding off on strikes, according to three people familiar with the situation.

Trump's public comments have played down the likelihood of more warfare, while privately discussing potential military options.
