Ceasefire Agreement Between the US and Houthis
Oman successfully facilitated a ceasefire between the US and Iran-backed Houthis, demonstrating its mediation capabilities. Following heightened conflict due to US airstrikes, Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi announced that discussions led to an agreement ensuring neither side would target each other, allowing freedom of navigation in the Red Sea. With this success, Oman aims to leverage its role in future US-Iran negotiations, while Trump expressed appreciation for Oman’s efforts amid concerns regarding potential Houthi attacks on Israel.
