"US Retaliatory Strikes on Iran-Backed Militants Delayed Due to Bad Weather"

President Biden delayed retaliatory strikes against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels due to bad weather, with military commanders preferring clear conditions to avoid civilian casualties. The strikes were in response to the deaths of three US servicemen in Jordan at the hands of a Houthi drone. Despite the delay, the US has signed off on the strikes, and the Pentagon has deployed significant military assets in the region. The situation remains tense as the Houthi rebels continue to attack vessels, prompting ongoing US defensive actions.
