"In talks brokered by Oman, the Trump administration and Houthi leadership in Yemen announced the terms of a truce that will see an immediate pause to the American bombing campaign, met with a reciprocal agreement from the Houthis, also known as Ansar Allah, not to attack American ships.

“I will accept their word, and we are going to stop the bombing of the Houthis, effective immediately,” Trump said in the Oval Office. He said the Houthis “will not be blowing up ships.”"

How it came together is that Houthis started taking out jets from aircraft carriers and the US ran home, being unable to implement their only remaining military strategy: bombing brown civilians with impunity.
