Donald Trump said the United States will stop the guarantees against Yemen's Iran-backed group, which will stop attacks on ships in the region.

"Hotis has announced … or they at least announced to us that they don't want to fight anymore," the U.S. president said. "They just don't want to fight, we will respect that, we will stop the explosion, they have surrendered."

Trump, who ordered a military strike against Houthis in March, announced his surprise when he met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House on Tuesday.

In Israel, the airport in Sana'a, the capital of Yemeni, controlled by Hotis, destroyed its runways and planes. This is retaliation for Houthi missiles that exploded near Ben Gurion Airport in Israel near Tel Aviv on Sunday.

A familiar with the matter said the Israeli government had no prior notice and was "surprised" by Trump's announcement.

Yemeni analysts said there was no indication that the group said it would no longer attack the transport.

Oman appears to be an intermediary in the U.S. Yemeni Agreement, Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi posted on X "Contacts between the Sultanate of Oman and relevant authorities in the United States and Yemen's Sanaa.

The Omani government has also promoted talks between the United States and Iran.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said ending the bombing was "always a matter of freedom of navigation." He added: "These are a group of people with high-level weapons who threaten global transport and the job is to stop. If it is to stop, then we can stop."

State Department spokesman Tammy Bruce said the deal envisioned: "In the future, both aspects will target each other, including the American ships in the Red Sea and the Bab Mandabu Strait, ensuring freedom of navigation and the smooth flow of international commercial transportation."

After Hamas attacked Hamas on October 7, 2023, Israel launched an attack, and Huthis began firing missiles and drones at merchant ships in the Red Sea, one of the world's major maritime trade routes.

The group has been one of the most active members of Iran’s so-called resistance axes, he said it united with Palestinians and opposition opposition to Israel.

The militants stopped the attack after Israel and Hamas agreed to a fragile ceasefire in January. But they threatened to break the ceasefire in March and withdraw the ceasefire in the offensive in Gaza.

Then, Trump authorized the most intense bombing campaign in the United States within a decade as he warned the Husse that they would “rain” if they attacked transport in the Red Sea.

In the weeks since, the U.S. military said it has been against the rebels' "24/7", hitting more than 800 Hotty targets and killing "hundreds" of fighters.

But the combat group that controls most of Yemen’s population in the northern region said it had shot down multiple harvesters of U.S. Navy ships, attacked U.S. Navy ships, and fired more than a dozen missiles at Israel.

Mohammed Albasha, an analyst in Yemen and founder of the Basha report, a U.S. risk consulting firm, said that if the U.S. action against the insurgents ended, it would be "probably Hotis would not retaliate".

"It's not clear whether they've officially communicated it to the Trump administration, but the actual dynamic seems simple - if the United States stops hitting them, they'll stop shooting backwards," Albasha said.

“That is, given the strong air attacks over the past 24 hours… With Israel’s military operations in Gaza still ongoing, it is highly unlikely that Hotis will stop their attack on Israel or the transport associated with it soon.”

Trump always insists on conducting military operations against Hotis, which is to restore freedom of navigation in the waters of the region.

But he also used it to warn and warned Iran before talks on his nuclear program that he would put Tehran in charge of "every shot" fired by insurgents, and that any attack on militants would face "terrible" consequences by the Islamic Republic.

Since then, the Trump administration has conducted three rounds of indirect negotiations on its extensive nuclear program.

Next week, the U.S. president plans to travel to the oil-rich Gulf to stop in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Riyadh and Abu Dhabi intervened in the Yemeni Civil War in 2015, fought against Hotis, and supported the ousted Yemeni government.

But Saudi Arabia has been trying to get out of conflict since agreeing to a fragile truce with Houthis in 2022.
