Trump said he called off the strikes after appeals from regional leaders.
President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.
Delegations from the U.S. and Iran entered negotiations in June aimed at a war-ending deal based on a memorandum of understanding signed by both countries.
The U.S. and Iran have nonetheless continued to exchange strikes, with the strategic Strait of Hormuz the primary flashpoint.
The Houthis claimed to have attacked a Saudi oil tanker NCC GHAZAL in the Red Sea with several ballistic missiles "for violating the maritime blockade imposed on the Saudi enemy," the Houthis said in a post on X.
President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's White House meeting has ended, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday.
Images from the meeting show Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in attendance.
Leavitt said that Trump's meetings with Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy were "positive and productive."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at the White House for a closed-door Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump on Tuesday.
Ahead of Tuesday's meeting, Trump blasted the Israeli prime minister during an interview on "Fox and Friends," where he insinuated that reports of Israeli intelligence sharing were a ploy to try and keep the U.S. engaged in the conflict.
“Well, I don't need Bibi to tell me that. Bibi is telling me that because he wants me to stay involved,” Trump said, responding to questions about reports that Netanyahu would share information on alleged Iranian attempts to build back its nuclear capabilities.
