U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a ceasefire with the Houthis in Yemen, effective immediately, as part of Operation Rough Rider. The decision follows what Trump described as a Houthi 'capitulation' after U.S. and Israeli military actions. Trump stated that the Houthis requested the U.S. to stop bombing them, promising in return to cease attacks on ships. This agreement, brokered by Oman, aims to ensure freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Trump praised the Houthis for their resilience and bravery, noting good results from the negotiations and honoring their commitment to not attack ships. The ceasefire halts U.S. airstrikes that had been ongoing for seven weeks, targeting over 1,000 Houthi positions and resulting in the deaths of fighters and leaders, including senior missile and UAV officials.
