Five sources told Reuters that US officials met a Houthi delegation, reportedly including spokesman Mohammad Abdulsalam, at the US embassy in Muscat over the weekend, with Oman helping to arrange it. Two sources said the Houthis said they would not attack American vessels and remained committed to the May 2025 ceasefire with the US. The State Department did not confirm the meeting. It followed Houthi advances along Yemen's Red Sea coast against Saudi-backed forces.
