Axios: Trump decided against strikes on Houthis
During the weekend, U.S. President Donald Trump decided to postpone issuing an order for military strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. The military options had been prepared by the commander of the U.S. Central Command and presented to the Department of Defense, but Trump chose not to proceed for now, fearing an escalation of the conflict and threat to navigation in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, especially amid rising tensions in the region. Sources added that Washington does not intend to intervene militarily as long as the Houthis do not disrupt vessel movements in the Red Sea.
