The remarks came during ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions, with Trump entering
'deciding mode' on Iran and warning of possible big actions or a meeting with
its president.
Earlier U.S.-Houthi meetings in Oman led to pledges to avoid American and Israeli ships while targeting Saudi ones, following a May 2025 ceasefire after U.S. strikes.
Reactions mixed relief at de-escalation with doubts on whether the Houthis' word will hold, reflecting Trump's blend of diplomacy and tough talk toward Iran proxies.
