Trump says US will stop bombing Houthis after agreement struck
- President Donald Trump announced on May 7, 2025, that the U.S. Will stop bombing Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis following a ceasefire agreement mediated by Oman.
- The deal resulted from escalated U.S. Airstrikes launched in March to halt persistent Houthi missile and drone attacks disrupting shipping in the Red Sea trade corridor.
- The agreement commits both parties to refrain from attacking each other’s vessels in the maritime areas around the southern entrance to the Red Sea, thereby protecting key international shipping lanes and maintaining open navigation.
- Trump announced that U.S. Airstrikes against the Houthis would end immediately, noting that the group assured they would cease attacks on American vessels, though they might still target Israeli ships.
- The ceasefire may ease U.S.-Houthi tensions but leaves unresolved the Houthi attacks on Israel, which Israel opposes and remains outside the agreement’s scope.
