The Houthis told US officials at a meeting in Oman that they would not attack US ships, Israeli ships or commercial ships - only Saudi ones.

This is a noticeable change.

Since after the ceasefire in May 2025, the Houthis have explicitly excluded Israel and continued to target shipping linked to Israel.

The meeting included sanctioned Houthi official Mohammed Abdulsalam and Abdelmalik al-Ajri.
