President Donald Trump said the United States was informed that the Houthis would stop attacking vessels off Yemen’s coasts in exchange for the U.S. ending the military campaign against them.

“The Houthis have announced to us at least that they don’t want to fight anymore,” he said in the Oval Office on Tuesday during his meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. “They don’t want to fight, and we will honor that. And we will stop the bombings, and they have capitulated, but more importantly, we will take their word. They say they will not be blowing up ships anymore.”

The U.S. has carried out an extensive military campaign against the Houthis since mid-March, and the military has said U.S. forces struck more than 1,000 targets during that time frame.

Despite the intense bombing campaign, the Houthis had, until now, not been deterred from carrying out attacks against vessels transiting the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, which are off Yemen’s southern and western coasts.

“CENTCOM is conducting strikes across multiple locations of Iran-backed Houthi locations every day and night in Yemen. This sustained, aggressive series of operations is designed to restore freedom of navigation and American deterrence,” a Defense Department official told the Washington Examiner last week. “The U.S. has hit targets in Houthi-controlled parts of Yemen, destroying command-and-control facilities, weapons manufacturing facilities, and advanced weapons storage locations. We have confirmed the death of several Houthi leaders.”

The attacks on commercial vessels forced shipping companies to avoid the Red Sea, which forced them to have their ships travel much longer and more expensive routes to avoid getting targeted. For those that didn’t, the U.S. and other countries provided security.

They have killed multiple sailors, seized a ship, and sunk two others that posed environmental concerns.

In addition to those attacks, the Houthis have targeted Israel dating back to the start of the Israel-Hamas war.

The war between Israel and the Houthis escalated in recent days. It is unclear if the apparent ceasefire between the U.S. and the Iran-backed Houthis will translate to that conflict as well.

A Houthi-launched missile hit Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday, which highlighted the imperfect nature of Israel’s air defense systems.

Israel Defense Forces struck what it described as “terrorist infrastructure” at the Sana’a airport earlier on Tuesday, saying it was “fully disabled.” The IDF said 20 fighter jets dropped 50 munitions on various targets. On Monday, the IDF struck the Hudaydah Port.
