According to the Associated Press, Donald Trump’s sudden change of position, the President of the United States, just one day after threatening to resume broad attacks, indicates growing political and economic pressures on the White House. As the news agency wrote, the protracted war, the rise in the prices of oil and essential goods, and the declining popularity of this confrontation among many Americans, ahead of the midterm elections of the U.S. Congress, have affected Trump’s calculations.

The Associated Press also wrote that differences in viewpoints among the United States’ allies regarding the continuation of the war have become more apparent; while Benjamin Netanyahu emphasizes continuing military operations, Saudi Arabia supports easing tensions.

The news agency added that the U.S. State Department’s security alert for its citizens in 10 Middle Eastern countries also shows that Washington continues to seriously assess the risk of the conflict spreading and disrupting regional transportation.
