The United States will cease airstrikes against the Houthis, announced US President Donald Trump. “
They informed us that they no longer wish to fight. We respect that decision and will halt the bombing,” he stated.
A spokesman for the Omani Foreign Ministry reported that the Houthis and the United States, with Oman acting as a mediator, have reached an agreement for a ceasefire and a cessation of all attacks on one another.
“Recent discussions and communications between the Sultanate of Oman, the United States, and the relevant authorities in Sanaa, Yemen, aimed at de-escalating the situation, have resulted in a ceasefire between both parties. Moving forward, neither side will engage in attacks against the other, including against American ships in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, thereby ensuring freedom of navigation and the uninterrupted flow of international commercial shipping,” he added.
