No one believed that the United States, with its fleets, would submit to Yemen and Ansarullah—except for the oil and its affiliated channels, that same chorus which always sees its master as eternally right and powerful. On the other hand, we did not expect that America would submit so quickly and in record time.

America entered its battle with Yemen relying on a strategy of shock. US President Donald Trump believed that intimidation, accompanied by fear and terror, would become the decisive factor in Yemen, and that deploying the most advanced killing machines in the American arsenal would at least lead to a Yemeni retreat—if not full surrender.

This in itself indicates a lack of understanding of Yemen’s nature. The course of aggression demonstrated a clear failure in intelligence, especially since all the sites targeted by the American fleets were based on open sources.

This was no different from the military statements issued by the US military, which were full of blatant lies—especially those decimal figures that the Pentagon used in an attempt to portray the precision of its intelligence and its calculations of Yemen’s losses. But these claims quickly became the subject of mockery and ridicule.

The same goes for the report about the downing of the F-18 aircraft, which “slipped” off the deck of a carrier in the latest data. This resembled the so-called secret sources from oil-related channels that claimed 80% of “Houthi” capabilities had been destroyed—claims that were equally worthy of mockery and scorn.

Before the start of Trump’s regional tour, he suddenly announced the end of the aggression on Yemen. Even “Israel” was stunned to the point of astonishment, learning of the agreement via television. This will have repercussions on all the projects that had been abandoned by Netanyahu and his hardline allies Smotrich and Ben Gvir in a government completely disconnected from reality.

If the American step of aggression against Yemen was reckless, the manner in which the aggression ended was even more reckless—particularly in terms of its negative moral and strategic consequences for the entity, and its positive impact on the war in Gaza and the Axis of Resistance overall.

The United States, as a global superpower seated atop the unipolar world order, initiated its aggression on Yemen using the crown jewel of its modern weaponry. It viewed the operation as a message to its adversaries—Iran, China and Russia—to remain in a state of heightened alert. However, America’s failure to redirect Yemeni strikes toward the entity, let alone subjugate Yemen and Ansarullah, reversed the intended message. The military weakness shown in Yemen raised questions about how the US would fare against a power like China or Iran.

Thus, the US opted for a face-saving exit, relying on the familiar and empty bravado of Trumpian arrogance by declaring that the Ansarullah had surrendered—even though the terms of the agreement clearly reflected comprehensive American submission to Yemen. It was a ceasefire between Yemen and America, with no connection to Yemen’s policy of closing maritime routes to the entity or targeting the entity directly. The American aggression was halted in exchange for the cessation of attacks on the US Navy and American vessels.

From here, it is likely that the aggression on Gaza will come to an end—either before or during Trump’s visit to the region—because the US withdrawal from the confrontation equation between Yemen and the entity will leave the entity in a state of extreme vulnerability. This would be especially true if the aerial blockade continues to solidify alongside the naval blockade—unless, of course, this ceasefire is merely a prelude and cover for a broader aggression against Iran.
