Washington – President Donald Trump says that the United States will end air strikes on Houthi militants in Yemen immediately.

“We will stop the bomb attacks,” Trump announced from the Oval Office.

Trump ordered Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, whom he was wearing last week as his reigning national security advisor, to the news to the militant group supported by Iran.

The Trump government began on March 15, a bomb campaign in response to Houthi attacks on commercial senders in the Red Sea.

Since then, the USA has started continuous strikes through “Operation Rough Rider”. Former President Joe Biden also started hundreds of strikes against the militant Yemeni group to ward off their attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea.

The Houthis – officially known as Ansar Allah – say that their attacks are in retaliation for the continued siege of Gaza and US military support. The group is allied with Hamas, and both are part of the “axis of resistance”, a loose loyalty of the militant groups supported by Iran.

After Hamas on October 7, 2023, Israel triggered a bomb campaign and an invasion of Gaza in Gaza.

On May 4, the Houthis shot a ballistic rocket in Israel, which landed near Ben Gurion Airport. In response, Israel started heavy strikes to Sana'a Airport and other populated areas in Yemen.

Trump announced the US air attacks when he met with the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in the White House. He said Houthi rebels had informed the USA the evening before that they were ready to withdraw. Trump said he would honor her request.

“You surrendered, but more important … we will take your word,” he said. “You say you will no longer chase ships in the air.”

“If it stops, we can stop,” said Rubio, after Trump invited him to address journalists.

Trump refused to say later in the meeting, as he learned that the Houthis waved the white flag and ascribed the information from a “very good source”.

In an explanation earlier a day, the rebels indicated in response to the strikes of Israel that they could not resist.

“The operations of our armed forces will continue and the support of Yemen in Palestine will only end with the end of aggression and siege against Gaza,” said the group, according to Al Masirah TV.

The spokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tammy Bruce, pointed out a position on social media, which was re -treated by Trump's special representative in the Middle East by the Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Bad Albusaidi and said that a ceasefire was mediated.

“In the future, no side of the others will be aimed at the others, including American ships, on the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab street to ensure the freedom of navigation and the smooth flow of international commercial shipping traffic,” said Albusaidi.

Civilian victims

Houthi's authorities say that the Trump government has been killed by the civilian population since the operation was introduced. According to Houthi Media Reports, a strike dated April 28, which met an internment camp in African migrants.

Another 74 died last month at strikes at a fuel terminal in the deadliest attack since the beginning of the US bomb campaign, according to the Ministry of Health. Hundreds were injured, they say.

Aid groups have expressed the alarm about the high number of civilian fatalities, while the Trump government displaced politics to reduce civilian damage.

“US air attacks seem to kill and violate civilians in Yemen in Yemen last month at an alarming speed, loosened political restrictions in the application of violence and tries to marginalize Pentagon offices with mitigating civil damage,” said Niku Jafarnia, a Yemen research researcher, said one explanation.
