Well well it looks like the Houthis did say to Orange man no mas because Houthis haven't been targeting commercial shipping or US naval ships.
Israel you're on your own.

The Houthis clearly capitulated to US demands. They couldn’t withstand the bombing campaign, otherwise why agree to US demands and compromise?
And a handful of ballistic missile launches towards Israel means little. Israel and the US have robust ballistic missile defenses and have intercepted 95%+ of the attacks.

the American copium over terminating a military engagement prematurely because it didn't progress as planned against the poorest country in the region is hilarious

Read this article to find out the truth
Trump operation against Houthis cost more than $1 billion
President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between the U.S. and the militant group, but there are still real questions about what the expensive strikes achieved.

More than 1,000 Houthi targets hit, a decline in over 60% of Houthi ballistic missile and drone attacks, a stop in attacks on commercial shipping and US Navy ships.
The US was never going to completely destroy the Houthis with a bombing campaign alone, that’d require ground forces.
So overall? Yes it was a successful operation

Did you even read the article ? Houthis only agreed to stop attacks on US ships in Red Sea, so as to give Trump a face-saving exit. Houthis are still trucking along with their previous objectives.

No, they agreed because their capabilities were being massively degraded, lost hundreds of fighters, and was only a matter of time before their leadership would be picked off.
No more attacks on commercial shipping or USN ships. The US has gotten what it wanted. As for Israel, a single missile has gotten through defenses. One

Contrarian view here. The "cease fire" was simply a timeout in order to replenish. Once stocks have been replenished, the game will be back on.

This video which was shared on Thursday May 22, 2025 is showing the Yemen missile reaching its intended target: "In the middle of the City". Of course, the "Israeli" military claims the missile was shot down, but as you can see, it got in and hit in the heart of Tel Aviv.
Now, major airlines are cancelling their travel to the "Ben Gurion" airport.
At least Some of the missiles are getting in, and Tel Aviv is feeling the heat. Therefore, claims of intercepting every missile and drone except one is not correct.

Israel Sounds Alarm: #Houthis Now a Strategic Threat!
• Missile Math: Despite 100+ American airstrikes on #Yemen, Houthis keep firing rockets toward Israel – with 5 successful long-range attacks in 2024 alone.
• Homegrown Arsenal: 40% of Houthi weapons are now locally produced, per intel reports – including cruise missiles with 1,500km+ range.
• Iran’s Proxy 2.0: Once rag-tag rebels, now a hybrid force with drones, naval mines, and Russian/Chinese tech transfers.
• Cost of Delay: Every unanswered Houthi strike costs Israel $8M/day in diverted flights, insurance spikes, and military scrambling.
Bottom Line: "The rules have changed," warns IDF analyst Noa Lazmi. "This isn’t 2015 anymore – we’re facing a networked enemy with industrial capacity."
Why This Matters: If Houthis land couple more direct hits on Tel Aviv, the Middle East resets.

THINK TANK: CONSULTANT
There are three sides to every story. There is the American view which is varied due to open culture that allows freedom of expression. There is the narrative of the Houthi which is lacking in internal and external critic due to censorship in areas under their control as per Yemeni journalists. Then there are facts that might be possible to uncover with a critical review of the relevant information on the web and declassified accounts if any.
The Houthi did not wait for the US to explore different options to defeat them in war. They are tough fighters but also have game. They seem to understand when to fight and when to negotiate to their benefit. They were in talks with the US, Oman and Iran to understand their options.
At the core of the agreement lies a quid pro quo first floated by Ansarullah, also known as the Houthis, weeks ago: the Yemeni group will stop targeting commercial vessels while the US will halt airstrikes in Yemen. Though seemingly transactional, the deal carries far-reaching geopolitical implications—not only reducing the risk of escalation in a sensitive maritime corridor, but also potentially reinforcing nuclear diplomacy between Tehran and Washington.
"If the U.S. stops targeting Yemen, we will cease our military operations against it. We do not consider ourselves at war with the American people." - Houthi official Mohammed al-Bukhaiti. Drop Site News is the first and original source to disclose this statement.
The Houthi revisited their policy in Red Sea amidst rumors of mobilization of ground forces to challenge them from within Yemen. There are other armed factions in Yemen who could take advantage of the American intervention in Yemen. Air Power can produce impressive effects and open gaps in defenses of an opposing force but boots on the ground are needed to capitalize on them (combined arms approach). The Houthi have suffered losses in clashes with the US as per Yemeni journalists but do not accept them officially.

Yemen : Dozens Killed , Injured in a Massive Explosion at a Houthi Military Depot in Sana'a - Yemen Online |
Sana'a - A powerful explosion occurred at a military weapons depot belonging to the Houthi militia in the Sarf area, north of Sana'a, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries.
www.yemenonline.info
The US disclosed that it has conducted over 1000 airstrikes during Operation Rough Rider in Yemen. The Houthi disclosed a total of 1718 airstrikes in Yemen. This corroboration shows that American claims are true.
The Houthi offered a concession to Trump during negotiations in Oman, they agreed to stop attacking American ships in exchange for ceasefire with the US and Trump accepted this offer because this was his red line to begin with.
The Houthi seem to have stopped anti-shipping activity in Red Sea altogether. This is substantial.
Trump did not seek further concessions from the Houthi because he had plans to visit some countries in the Middle East to seek high value deals at the earliest, this was not possible if the war had continued in Yemen.

The Houthi have outplayed Pete Hegseth and managed to shape the narrative with their smart politics to their credit. Now some in the US are questioning Trump's policy even though he has done a better job than Biden in addressing the Red Sea crisis. But perception sells in the age of Social Media.
However, following development is interesting:
