Hegseth acknowledges Houthis ‘not completely destroyed’ but too costly to continue


Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth acknowledged that the Houthis are “not completely destroyed” and noted the ceasefire agreement has allowed for the military to refocus back to its “core interests.”

The U.S. military conducted a significant bombardment of the Yemen-based Houthis from mid-March through early May, hitting more than 1,000 targets, according to military leaders. The U.S.-Houthi ceasefire was a narrow agreement that only ended the tit-for-tat attacks against U.S. forces in the Gulf of Aden, which were carrying out the U.S. operations.

“Now there are plenty of people that would like to see regime change in Yemen, and that would be wonderful in a perfect world, you got all the time, all the munitions, and all the time to focus on that,” Hegseth said on
