President Trump announced the immediate cessation of U.S. air strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, attributing the decision to the rebels' expressed willingness to cease hostilities and refrain from targeting shipping in the Red Sea. This follows a period of escalating tensions where the Houthis attacked over 100 vessels, drastically disrupting trade. The agreement, propelled by diplomatic discussions involving Oman, aims to foster safety in the Red Sea corridor, vital for international commerce. Oman's Foreign Minister confirmed this ceasefire, highlighting future assurances for non-targeting of vessels among involved parties.
We're going to stop the bombing of the Houthis, effective immediately. They were knocking out a lot of ships.
In the future, neither side will target the other, ensuring freedom of navigation and smooth flow of international commercial shipping.
