High cost and low return, the U.S. military has ended its military operations against the Houthis.

Jin10 Data May 14 - Due to rising personnel safety risks and surging operational costs, the United States has ended its two-month military operation against the Yemeni Houthi forces. This operation, which began on March 15, was originally intended to weaken the Houthi's attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since November 2023. However, the operation quickly evolved into a costly, low-return high-risk mission. In just 30 days, the Houthis managed to shoot down at least seven MQ-9 "Reaper" drones, each valued at about $30 million, making it difficult for the U.S. to effectively conduct airstrikes. Additionally, several F-16 fighter jets and one F-35 fighter nearly fell victim to Houthi air defense systems. U.S. officials stated that this made the possibility of U.S. military casualties a reality. On May 6, Trump announced a ceasefire between the U.S. and the Houthi forces. However, the Houthis clarified that the ceasefire agreement does not apply to Israel.
