Trump says we stop the military campaign against Houthis

The United States will hire its graded air raids against the Houthis in Yemen, President Donald Trump announced on May 6th, citing promises by the Rebel Group, that it would no longer attack the attacks on commercial shipping routes.

The campaign against the Houthis, which was known as Operation Rough Rider, has spent the US navy and the Air Force, which has achieved 1,000 goals since March 15, and killed hundreds of Houthi fighters since March 15. The strikes continued from May 5, said defense officers, and the Israeli military bombed the Houthis on May 6th in a row in retaliation for a Houthi ballistic rocket strike at Tel Aviv Airport, said the Israeli defense forces.

“We will immediately stop the bombing of the Houthis,” Trump told reporters.

After Trump's comments, the Foreign Minister of Oman, Sayyid Badr Albusaidi, said that his country had conveyed a “ceasefire agreement” what “led to an end to the conflict between the two sides”.

“In the future, no page will be on the other, including American ships, in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab-Straße, the freedom of navigation and the smooth flow of international commercial shipping,” he wrote about X.

The Houthis made an explanation in which they said they would continue their pressure campaign against Israel. US officials suggested that the agreement did not apply to Houthi attacks on Israel.

“This is about the Red Sea, the attack of ships,” said the spokeswoman for the Foreign Ministry, Tammy Bruce, reporters.

Defense Minister Pete Hegseth, who traveled to Centcoms headquarters on May 6th in Tampa, Florida, has newly published Trump's statements about X.

The Pentagon referred questions about the agreement on the White House. The National Security Council did not respond to a request for comments.

Trump's surprising announcement, which was made from the Oval Office during a Bilateral Prime Minister Mark Carney, fell only a few hours after open source intelligence analysts found that the Air Force B-52 bomber in the Pacific in the direction of Diego Garica, a little one, Island in the Indian Ocean, on the way to the Pacific Ocean. Six B-2 bombers that were used to Diego Garcia at the end of March and started strikes against Yemen. It is unclear whether the B-52 were used to join the campaign against the Houthis, or whether the move was part of a conveyed rotation of the Bomber-Task Force.

The aircraft carriers Us Harry S. Truman and USS Carl Vinson both work in the waters near Yemen in a rare violence exhibition. F-16 of the 55th expedition flight squadrons at the Shaw Air Force Base, SC, used in the region last month and joined other Air Force fighters, attack levels and bombers in the region. During the current campaign against the Houthis, which began on March 15, at least six MQ-9 snapshots were lost. On May 6th, after the armistice, a Marine F/A-18 fell from the deck of the Truman when trying to land. Both planes on the plane suffered minor injuries, said the navy. The Pentagon said the plane was not shot down by the Houthis.

During the US strike campaign, there were accusations of civilian victims through the Houthis and non -governmental groups that explains Centcom.

Since the end of 2023, the Houthis have attacked the international shipping in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and Bab El-Mandeb-Strasse in response to Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza. The Houthi attacks have hit commercial ships, which led to a great decline in shipping in the Red Sea, which is connected to the Mediterranean via the Suez Canal and forces commercial traffic to switch Africa.

“This was always a mission of freedom of navigation,” said Foreign Minister Marco Rubio in the Oval Office. “These are a group of people with advanced weapons who threaten global shipping, and the task was to stop and if it stops, we can stop.”

The US military performed a long military campaign against the Houthis as part of the biden administration, and Trump drove it up even more, including the attacks against Houthi leader.

Trump said the Houthis had told the United States that they “no longer want to fight … we will honor and we will stop the bombings”.

“You surrendered … you say you will no longer chase ships in the air,” said Trump.
