Daily Briefing Covers Iran, Yemen, West Bank, and Other Developments
The daily news roundup reports that President Trump said the United States would not attack Iran before the midterms while officials said military options were still being prepared. It also covers Houthi strikes on Riyadh airport, the USS Abraham Lincoln returning to San Diego, and not-guilty pleas by two Iranian nationals accused of surveillance in London. The roundup notes that Palestinian legislative elections planned for November 28 will be postponed.
President Trump stated no U.S. strike on Iran before the midterms and described ongoing talks as productive, yet unnamed U.S. officials said military planners continued drafting options for renewed major combat. Houthi attacks on Riyadh airport killed three people, wounded others, damaged a Saudi Airlines jet, and prompted flight cancellations ahead of a global oil executives meeting.
Palestinian Vice President Hussein Al Sheikh told France’s foreign minister that the legislative vote set for Nov. 28 would be delayed several months, citing conditions that had not materialized. Separately, two Iranian nationals denied a National Security Act charge in London over alleged surveillance of Israeli and Jewish sites; their trial is scheduled for April 2027.
