Reuters: US President Donald Trump recently told senior advisers that he may stop attacking Iran if the Houthi rebels of Tehran and Yemen refrain from further provocations against the US.
As Trump continues to vacillate between escalating the unpopular conflict he started with Israel in February and satisfying it, he is sympathetic to regional allies who urge him to avoid full-scale war.
In an interview on Thursday with Steven A. Smith, Trump has argued that he could end the conflict immediately, but is instead handling it "a little longer, a little more civilly" at the request of the nations he seeks to protect.
