US EditionYemen: Is the US-Houthi deal the end of Red Sea attacks?
- On Tuesday, May 7, 2025, the US and Yemen's Houthi rebels agreed to a ceasefire brokered by Oman to halt attacks on Red Sea shipping.
- The ceasefire followed nearly two months of US airstrikes under Operation Rough Rider, which targeted over 1,000 Houthi sites with 2,000 munitions to stop their strikes on vessels.
- Despite the ceasefire stopping attacks on US ships, the Houthis did not include Israel in the deal and fired a missile near Israel's main airport days before Israel retaliated with airstrikes on Yemeni targets.
- President Trump said the Houthis had "capitulated" and agreed to cease attacks on US vessels, calling it a step toward restoring commercial safety in the region's vital trade corridor.
- Analysts warn the ceasefire may only be temporary, with the Houthis likely to continue attacks on Israel and possibly regroup before resuming broader hostilities in the Red Sea.
