NYT: Trump Ended Houthi Attacks Due To Operational Failures, High Costs And Internal Opposition
- President Trump ordered a sudden halt to the U.S. Military campaign against the Houthi militia in early May 2025 in Yemen after several weeks of airstrikes.
- The campaign began due to Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea, with General Kurilla proposing an eight- to 10-month plan that Trump limited to 30 days, seeking quick results.
- Despite more than 1,100 strikes targeting air defenses, senior leaders, and weapons facilities, U.S. Forces failed to gain air superiority, while the Houthis shot down seven $30 million MQ-9 drones and nearly struck F-16 and F-35 jets.
- Officials reported that the operation consumed over $1 billion in advanced munitions, caused injuries during two F/A-18 jet losses, and raised concerns about resource depletion affecting U.S. Readiness for other threats.
- Trump accepted an Omani-mediated ceasefire deal in which the Houthis agreed to stop firing at American ships, signaling a shift from military action due to high costs, operational setbacks, and internal opposition.
