A ceasefire agreement has been reached between the United States and Yemen's Houthi movement, facilitated by Omani mediation. Iranian officials have acknowledged Tehran's positive and constructive role in persuading the Houthis to halt attacks on American ships in the Red Sea and Bab Al-Mandab strait. This development follows warnings from the US to Tehran and a letter from the Saudi King to Iran's Supreme Leader urging de-escalation. The ceasefire is seen as a strategic move to build momentum for ongoing nuclear negotiations between Iran and the United States. The New York Times and other regional sources reported that Iran leveraged its influence over the Houthis as part of the diplomatic effort to achieve this truce, which is expected to positively impact Iran-US talks.
