HEADLINE: Iran US war latest Houthis claim missile attack on Saudi Arabia as Trump insists Tehran cant have a nuclear weapon (The Independent, July 26, 2026)

President Donald Trump has insisted that Iran 'cannot have a nuclear weapon' as strikes have spread across the Middle East. The US leader appeared to backtrack from an earlier threat of massive strikes and said that discussions had been going 'well.' The Houthis claimed responsibility for an attack on the southern Saudi city of Jizan after targets in the Yemeni port city of Hodeida and a nearby island were hit by Saudi on Friday.
