Trump says US will stop bombing Houthis after agreement struck
- On May 5, 2025, President Donald Trump announced the US would halt airstrikes against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen following an agreement.
- The announcement came after the Houthis told the US they no longer wanted to fight and agreed to stop targeting shipping lanes in the Red Sea.
- Despite the US halting its strikes, Israel launched extensive air attacks on Yemeni sites, including Sanaa airport, energy infrastructure, and a facility producing cement, in response to recent missile launches by the Houthis.
- Since mid-March, the US Central Command claimed over 800 strikes on Houthi targets and killed hundreds of fighters, while the Houthis fired missiles near Israel's main airport.
- The US stand down is expected to support Iran nuclear deal talks, but the ceasefire's impact on Israeli-Houthi conflict remains uncertain amid ongoing retaliatory threats.
