President Trump announced this afternoon that the Iranian Houthi terrorist group has communicated that they don’t want to fight anymore and have capitulated.

Watch:

Israel bombed the crap out of their port – it wouldn’t shock me if it was still burning – and I think that, plus the pressure Trump has put on Iran, has a lot do with this capitulation.

But I hope Trump realizes that this capitulation is really just a pause in the fighting so that they can rebuild, regroup, rearm and, possibly, keep him from bombing Iran directly.

 
UPDATE: Houthis deny!

HOUTHIS CALL OUT TRUMP: DENY STOPPING TO ATTACK SHIPS

Deif Allah Al-Shami, a senior member of the Houthi political bureau, responded to Trump’s statements in an interview with Al-Mayadeen TV, saying:

“When he makes such statements, it means he’s trying to preserve his self-respect after the humiliating failure he suffered in Yemen and his aggression against the Yemeni people. He completely failed in his campaign, which even forced the Israeli enemy, after the attack on Ben Gurion Airport, to strike directly on his behalf. The Israeli attacks exposed the Americans and proved to the world that U.S. aggression and aircraft carriers amounted to nothing.

Today, he lies as he always does, claiming he received calls from this or that person. He has no shame in lying to escape the mess he’s in.

We say — say what you want, but your words will not change a thing. No Israeli ship will reach any port until the siege is lifted and the aggression on Gaza ends.”
