[US Media: US Diplomats Discuss Red Sea Situation with Houthi Rebels in Oman] According to a report by the US news website Axios on the 16th, US diplomats met with representatives of the Houthi rebels in Yemen at the US Embassy in Oman over the weekend to discuss the tense situation in the Red Sea. The report quoted a regional source as saying that the meeting, held with the assistance of the Omani government, focused on maintaining the ceasefire agreement reached between the US and the Houthis last May, and ensuring the smooth passage of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The US sent diplomats to the meeting, but the ambassador himself did not attend. The source said that the Houthi representatives clearly stated their desire to maintain the ceasefire agreement with the US and emphasized that their attacks were only targeting Saudi Arabian vessels, and all other vessels were free to pass through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
