He mentioned that according to the Houthis, they do not wish to continue fighting, leading to the U.S. military&#8217;s immediate cessation of bombings in Yemen.Trump emphasized the need to honor their word, highlighting that this agreement would aid in restoring safety to maritime navigation. Secretary of State Marco rubio supported this viewpoint, noting that the previous Houthi attacks posed a notable threat to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/arnold-schwarzenegger-rages-leaders-who-oppose-woke-climate-orthodoxy-stupid-or-liars\/\" title=\"Arnold Schwarzenegger Rages: Leaders Who Oppose Woke Climate Orthodoxy &#039;Stupid or Liars&#039;\">global shipping<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Houthis had previously intensified their attacks following conflicts in Gaza and faced retaliatory strikes from the U.S. military, which targeted over a thousand sites since mid-March 2025. Despite trump&#8217;s announcement, official Houthi communications did not confirm any shift in their operational stance. They maintain their agenda as a &#8220;holy war&#8221; aligned with the Palestinian cause and express intentions to continue their military activities until perceived aggressions against Gaza cease.
