Trump says Yemen-based Houthi rebels have capitulated
- On May 6, 2025, US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire agreement mediated by Oman between the United States and Yemen-based Houthi rebels.
- The agreement followed weeks of US-led airstrikes targeting Houthis after the group launched ballistic missiles at Israeli territory, escalating regional tensions.
- Both sides committed to stop attacks on each other, especially avoiding targeting vessels and ensuring freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait.
- Trump stated the Houthis had “effectively capitulated” and reportedly informed Washington they “don’t want to fight anymore,” prompting an immediate halt to US strikes.
- Although the ceasefire helps protect maritime trade routes and represents a change in policy, experts remain skeptical about how long it will hold given the Houthis’ unpredictable partnerships and the persistent instability in the region.
