  • President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that the US would "stop the bombings" against the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group in Yemen, after the Houthis told the US that "they don't want to fight anymore."

The United States has decided to halt its military strikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen, as announced by the White House on May 6, 2025. This decision comes after a series of retaliatory attacks that began in response to Houthi drone and missile attacks on Saudi Arabia and international shipping lanes. The cessation of strikes is part of a broader diplomatic effort to de-escalate tensions in the region and facilitate peace negotiations between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed Yemeni government. The move is also seen as an attempt to encourage the Houthis to engage in the UN-led peace process and to address the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, which has been exacerbated by the ongoing conflict.
