|
Jordan and Iraq welcomed the cessation of mutual attacks between the US and Houthis in Yemen. Jordan's Foreign Ministry stated that 'the agreement represents a step toward preventing additional tension and conflicts in the region, and protecting freedom of navigation and trade.' Iraq called for 'strengthening security and stability in the region.' Yesterday, US President Donald Trump announced that his country would halt operations against the Houthis that began in mid-March, explaining that they 'no longer wish to fight.' Later, Oman confirmed that mediation efforts to achieve a ceasefire between the US and Houthis were successful.
