  "account": "President Donald Trump has reportedly indicated in recent days that he may postpone attacking Iran if the country or its allies in Yemen do not provoke the US further, three sources familiar with the matter told reporters. The President has been vacillating between threats of renewed attacks and winding down the conflict, which he initiated in February. In meetings with national security advisers and following intelligence briefings, Trump is now contemplating holding off on strikes, according to the sources. Trump has also expressed empathy for regional allies seeking to avoid a full-scale war. The conflict has driven up global fuel prices and been unpopular with American voters, who shifted control of Congress to the Democrats in the recent midterm elections. The White House maintains that the US holds all the cards and will safeguard American interests, but Trump's private comments reveal uncertainty about his next move.",
  "summary": "Trump has also indicated sympathy for allies in the region who have asked him not to return to a full-fledged war.",
