According to one source, an American official conveyed an even more immediate proposal. Through a mediator, apparently Italy, he suggested reaching a ceasefire agreement today or tomorrow. Iran rejected the idea outright.

Sounds like propaganda, but who knows.
https://gcaptain.com/houthis-signal-...rikes-on-iran/Two senior Houthi officials, speaking anonymously to international media because there was no formal public communique at the time of reporting, said the group had decided to restart missile and drone operations against maritime traffic in response to the US–Israeli military action against Iran. The officials indicated that renewed attacks could begin imminently and would target shipping routes previously struck during the group’s 2024–2025 campaign in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
The Houthis had effectively paused large-scale maritime attacks in mid-November 2025, following a regional de-escalation linked to a Gaza ceasefire. From approximately 11 November 2025 until late February 2026, there were no sustained, confirmed missile or drone attacks against merchant vessels attributable to the group. Saturday’s statements therefore mark the end of roughly three and a half months of relative calm in one of the world’s most critical trade corridors.
Industry bodies reacted quickly. The Baltic and International Maritime Council (BIMCO), the world’s largest international shipping association, warned that vessels with business links to US or Israeli interests are likely to face elevated risk if Houthi attacks resume. BIMCO security officials stated that previous Houthi targeting patterns extended beyond flag state to include ships perceived to have ownership, chartering, trading, or corporate affiliations connected to Israel or the United States.
However, BIMCO cautioned that risk is not confined solely to vessels with direct links. In past attack cycles, ships with no clear Israeli or American ties were struck, either deliberately or through misidentification. The organisation emphasised that merchant vessels operating in the Red Sea and adjacent waters could face exposure even if they consider themselves neutral.

https://x.com/aaronjmate/status/2028...J518QWnxG7pQDgRachel Maddow played a leading role in wasting years of liberal time and energy on a conspiracy theory that Trump colluded with, and was financially compromised by, Russia. This entailed ignoring not only the actual evidence about Russiagate, but about Trump's collusion with, and financial ties to, Israeli interests.
With Russiagate fan fiction no longer tenable, Maddow now claims that Gulf states got him to bomb Iran. She gives only a passing mention to Israel, omitting that Israel lobbied for this bombing and directly participated it; and that Trump and his cabinet have deep ties to pro-Israel oligarchs. Trump has openly bragged that his Israel policies are shaped by Miriam and Sheldon Aldelson. That somehow has escaped the dogged eye of this leading member of Trump's media opposition:

https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/02/polit...skin-treatment“President Trump is using a very common cream on the right side of his neck, which is a preventative skin treatment,” Dr. Sean Barbabella said in a statement. “The President is using the treatment for one week, and the redness is expected to last for a few weeks.”
Barbabella did not specify why Trump needed the skin treatment, and the White House did not immediately respond to questions about his condition.
