A week after Iran killed American troops in Jordan, crossing President Donald Trump's red line for restarting all-out war, the U.S. military didn't launch air strikes on the regime. Friday came and went without an announcement from U.S. Central Command about a new attack, breaking a nearly two-week streak. Sources told Axios that Trump received plans from the military yesterday to conduct strikes in Iran but didn't give a green light and instead ordered them to hold off. The Houthis hit two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea this week, prompting Saudi Arabia to strike the Yemeni port city of Hodeidah. The Bab el-Mandeb Strait, at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, is another vital shipping choke point, connecting the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden.
