In Brief…
- Iran-backed Houthis told US officials in Oman they had no intention of attacking American vessels and remained committed to their 2025 ceasefire with Washington, Reuters reported; one source said they also pledged not to target Israeli or other commercial ships except Saudi vessels.
- Trump said he hoped the Iran war was nearing its end and that Tehran was “very much wanting to make a deal,” signaling a possible diplomatic opening after nearly seven months of conflict.
- The United States reiterated support for Yemen’s internationally recognized government against Iran-backed Houthi attacks, while the UAE, Turkey and other regional governments condemned the attempted drone attack on Mecca.
This is a developing story that HO1 will continue to monitor.
