US, Yemen’s Huthis agree ceasefire: mediator Oman

The United States and Yemen’s Huthis have agreed to a ceasefire, ensuring “freedom of navigation” in the Red Sea amid recent attacks on shipping. President Trump announced the cessation of US bombings after the Huthis pledged to stop targeting ships, though tensions remain high with ongoing strikes against Israel and threats from Huthi leaders of retaliation. The ceasefire follows a seven-week US campaign resulting in significant casualties, while regional tensions escalate due to Israel’s military actions in Gaza and the Huthis’ support for Palestinian causes.
