Trump says he hopes war against Iran is near end as Houthi-Saudi fighting escalates
U.S. President Donald Trump said he hoped the war against Iran was nearing an end as the conflict entered its seventh month and fighting escalated between Saudi forces and Iran-backed Houthi fighters. The United States tightened travel restrictions in Saudi Arabia, and Gulf leaders planned to meet at the UN Assembly.
U.S. President Donald Trump said he hoped an end to the war against Iran was near. His comment came as the conflict, now in its seventh month, escalated with Saudi aircraft striking Yemen and Houthi fighters launching drones and missiles at Saudi cities.
The Iran-backed Houthis' advance in Yemen along the Red Sea, their attacks on Saudi Arabia, and attacks that damaged Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline have extended Tehran's reach in the war and heightened risks to global oil supplies.
As the war expanded into a new theater, the United States tightened its travel warning for Saudi Arabia. It banned government employees from traveling within 30 kilometers (20 miles) of the Yemen border.
A meeting of Gulf leaders is planned at the UN Assembly.
