HEADLINE: Trump pauses Iran strikes as US weighs next move but warns full scale war could return (New York Post, July 25, 2026)

President Trump halted new US strikes on Iran as he weighs whether Tehran is ready to cut a deal -- while a wider regional war appears to be spreading into another critical shipping corridor. After 13 consecutive days of attacks, Trump instructed the US military to pause any additional strikes against Iran Friday, Axios reported Saturday, which cited two people familiar with the decision. 'If we don't get 100% of what we want, absolutely,' Trump said when asked whether he could return to full-scale war with Iran. The widening war erupted into a new flashpoint Saturday as Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Houthi terrorists traded airstrikes.
