The Houthis have denied reports of formally entering the Iran-U.S.-Israel conflict, calling such claims “not official” in a statement to TASS. This comes as tensions surge across the region, with speculation growing over Red Sea attacks and wider escalation. Meanwhile, Donald Trump announced a surprising five-day pause on planned strikes against Iran and claimed direct talks with Tehran—an assertion Iran has firmly rejected. The developments point to a complex moment of mixed signals, possible de-escalation, and strategic positioning as multiple fronts remain on edge.
