Houthi ceasefire followed US intel showing militants sought off-ramp
- The United States and Iran-aligned Houthi fighters reached a ceasefire agreement on May 6, ending a seven-week bombing campaign in Yemen and the Red Sea region.
- The ceasefire came after US intelligence showed the Houthis were seeking an off-ramp due to heavy losses, including two aircraft, multiple drones, and costly munitions usage.
- The US campaign destroyed dozens of Houthi military facilities but the militants retained significant capability, continuing attacks against ships and Israel despite sustained strikes.
- President Trump announced that the Houthis had surrendered, though officials cautioned that the durability of the ceasefire remains uncertain amid persistent regional tensions.
- The ceasefire marks a temporary de-escalation but Yemen faces immense challenges including humanitarian crises, deep mistrust between parties, and risks of resumed conflict.
