According to Middle East Eye, President Donald Trump has informed senior advisers that he may refrain from attacking Iran provided there are no new provocations from Tehran or the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. Trump has reportedly alternated between threats of escalation and options for winding down hostilities regarding the conflict he launched in February with Israel.
