US President Donald Trump has told senior advisers he may refrain from launching further attacks on Iran unless Tehran or Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen carry out new provocations.

Axar.az reports, citing Reuters, that Trump has discussed the possibility of holding off on strikes during meetings with national security advisers and intelligence briefings.

The report said Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had urged Trump not to resume military operations against Iran during phone calls over the past two weeks.

US intelligence assessments indicate that the naval blockade and economic sanctions are putting pressure on Iran's economy, while renewed strikes are unlikely to significantly change Tehran's negotiating position.
