Houthis Push for Control of Yemen Highlands as Trump Reported to Have Called Off Airstrikes
The group said it would keep targeting Saudi vessels until Riyadh ends its blockade and allows ships into Red Sea ports, a spokesman said.
- On Monday, Houthi officials assured Washington they will not target US vessels in the Red Sea, following reports that President Donald Trump cancelled planned strikes against the group at the last minute.
- The Iran-backed group's lightning offensive this month secured Yemen's Red Sea coast and key islands, threatening global energy flows through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait while displacing more than 110,000 people.
- Trump reportedly halted the planned airstrikes on Sunday after fresh pleas from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, despite troops preparing to launch the mission against the Iran-backed fighters.
- Houthi political bureau member Mohamed al-Bukhaiti confirmed the group does not target the United States, but warned they retain capacity to fight on multiple fronts if nations join the Saudi aggression.
- Analysts warn the Houthi advance creates a dangerous 'two-strait problem' for Saudi Arabia, as the conflict jeopardizes oil exports through both Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb, straining an already fragile global economy.
