Yemen: Is the US-Houthi deal the end of Red Sea attacks? DW 05/07/2025
Briefly

A ceasefire has been negotiated by Oman between the US and the Iran-backed Houthi militia, following recent hostilities that included attacks on Israel and threats to Red Sea shipping. Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi announced that both sides agree not to target one another, thereby ensuring safety for navigation. While President Trump noted a desire for peace from the Houthis, their rhetoric supports continued actions against Israel amid recent escalations, including Israeli attacks on Yemeni targets and a rocket landing near an Israeli airport.
The ceasefire brokered by Oman aims to de-escalate tensions in the region, ensuring safety for international shipping in the Red Sea and halting hostilities.
Omani Foreign Minister stated, "Neither side will target the other... ensuring freedom of navigation and the smooth flow of international commercial shipping".
