US ends bombing campaign against Houthi militants in Yemen
ai generated text
The United States and the Houthi rebels in Yemen have reached a ceasefire agreement, according to mediators. The deal would allow for "freedom of navigation" in the Red Sea, which has been a key point of contention as the Houthi rebels have been attacking ships for months.
If others join us—our American friends—all the better. If they don't, we will still defend ourselves on our own.
They just don't want to fight. And we will honor that, and we will stop the bombings. (...) We're going to stop the bombing of the Houthis, effective immediately.
But I know one thing, they want nothing to do with us.
They have capitulated, but more importantly, we will take their own word.
If the American enemy resumes its attacks we will resume our strikes.
The attacks of recent months have been successful in some respects.
Previous attacks on the port of Hodeida destroyed thousands of tons of oil.
Despite their military superiority, the US and its allies have not seriously degraded the capability of the Houthis to launch attacks, nor their ability to resupply their arsenals.
Yemen's impoverished population and under-developed economy make for very few valuable military targets to Israel.
In their cost-benefit analysis, [the Houthis] want to implement their anti-Israeli, anti-American ideology while taking into account that Israel's ability to hit them is limited.
