According to reports from the New York Times and the Israel Times on the 12th local time, US President Trump suddenly announced a ceasefire with the Houthi armed forces after the US military carried out intensive bombings on Yemen for about two months. It was because the US military operation was in trouble and there was no sign that the operation could end soon. The New York Times said that the United States did not even gain air superiority against the Houthi forces. On the contrary, after a 30-day escalation strike, the United States' operation turned into another huge but fruitless military operation in the region.

Previously, the Houthi armed forces had shot down the Saudi Air Force's F-15SA fighter jets with simple low-altitude missiles.

The New York Times quoted three U.S. officials as saying that U.S. Central Command Commander Currila had proposed an eight- to 10-month operation against the Houthi forces, and that the U.S. Air Force and Navy fighter jets would destroy their air defense systems. He then stated that the US military will follow Israel's recent actions against Hezbollah in Lebanon and implement a "targeted removal" of Houthi militants. In early March, Trump approved some of Currira's plans to launch air strikes on the Houthi armed air defense system and strike the group's leaders, but demanded that results be seen within 30 days.

However, within the first 30 days, the Houthi forces shot down seven single-air US MQ-9 "Death" drones worth about $30 million, and continued to fire at naval ships including US aircraft carriers in the Red Sea. In the first month alone, the U.S. air strikes consumed about $1 billion worth of weapons and ammunition.

The report continued to quote several U.S. officials as saying that several U.S. F-16 fighter jets and one F-35 fighter jet were almost hit by Houthi forces, which shows that the possibility of casualties on the U.S. is real. The New York Times went on to say that within 10 days, two F/A-18 Super Hornet carrier-based fighter jets fell into the Red Sea from the Harry Truman aircraft carrier, injuring two pilots and a flight deck crew.

The report said that throughout the process, the Houthi forces were still firing at US ships and drones, strengthening bunkers, and transferring their arsenals to the ground. The White House began to put pressure on the US Central Command to measure the success of the operation.

The report continued to quote U.S. and Israeli officials as saying that U.S. special envoy for the Middle East, Witkov, who participated in the US-Iran nuclear negotiation process mediated by Oman, had reported that Omani officials made suggestions that the United States would stop bombing and that Houthi forces would no longer attack U.S. ships on the Red Sea, but the two sides did not reach any agreement when the Houthi forces stopped destroying ships that they believed would be helpful to Israel. It was not until May 5 that officials from the US Central Command suddenly received a White House order to "suspend" the offensive operation.

On May 6, Trump said that the Houthi forces agreed to stop threatening the safety of navigation in the Middle East waters, and on this basis, the United States will stop bombing the Houthi forces. Houthi armed forces spokesman and chief negotiator Abdul Salam responded on the 7th: The Houthi armed forces have always been self-defense, and the organization will also cease fire as long as the US stops attacking Yemen. But he also said that the Houthi armed forces’ ceasefire agreement with the United States will not “including Israel.”
