US President Donald Trump announced that the US will stop bombing the Houthis in Yemen, saying that they had agreed to stop interrupting in the Red Sea, reports Reuters.

After Trump made the announcement, Oman said it had mediated the ceasefire deal, marking a major shift in Houthi policy since the start of Israel's war in Gaza in October 2023.

Under the agreement, neither the US nor the Houthis would target the other, including US vessels in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait, Oman said.

The statement from Oman did not mention whether the Houthis had agreed to stop attacks on Israel. The head of Yemen's Houthi Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat, said the group would continue to support Gaza and that such attacks would continue.

"To all Zionists from now on, stay in shelters or leave to your countries immediately as your failed government will not be able to protect you after today," Houthi-run Al Masirah TV cited him as saying.
