Why Trump suddenly explained the victory over the Houthi militia

When he approved a campaign for reopening the shipping in the Red Sea by bombing the militant group of Houthi to submit, President Trump wanted to see the results within 30 days of the first strikes.

Until the 31st day, Mr. Trump, who suspended military entanglements in the Middle East in the Middle East, demanded a progress report, according to administrative officials.

But the results were not there. The United States had not even established air superiority to the Houthis. Instead, what occurred after 30 days of a level against the Yemeni group was another expensive but not conclusive American military commitment in the region.

The Houthis shot several American MQ-9 reader drones and continued to fire on naval ships in the Red Sea, including an American aircraft carrier. And the US strikes burned weapons and ammunition with a rate of around 1 billion US dollars in the first month alone.

It did not help that two $ 67 million F/A-18 Super Hornets from the American flagship aircraft carrier, who accidentally leads from the carrier into the sea with the task of performing strokes against the Houthis.

Until then, Mr. Trump had had enough.

Steve Witkoff, his envoy in the Middle East, who was already in Oman-mediated nuclear discussions with Iran, reported that the officials of Omans had proposed, which could be a perfect offramp for Mr. Trump in the separate edition of the Houthis, according to American and Arabic officials. The United States would hire the bomb campaign, and the militia would no longer appeal to American ships in the Red Sea, but without agreement not to disturb the shipping that the group considered to be helpful for Israel.
