A Saudi Arabia-led coalition has ended its bombing campaign against rebels in Yemen, Saudi state television has said.

The coalition's Decisive Storm campaign had achieved its military goals, the report said.

A new operation would be called Restoring Hope, focusing on a political solution in Yemen and on security and counter-terrorism at home.

The coalition had carried out almost a month of strikes but had largely failed to halt the Houthi rebels' advance.

Yemen has been in chaos since the Houthi, or Zaidi Shia, rebels, took control of the capital, Sanaa, in January and placed President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi under house arrest.

Mr Hadi escaped and took refuge in Aden in February, but left the country at the end of March when the Houthis, backed by army units supporting ousted former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, reached the outskirts of the southern port city.

Saudi coalition spokesman Brig-Gen Ahmed al-Asiri told a press briefing in the Saudi capital, Riyadh on Tuesday: "[The coalition] has ended Operation Decisive Storm based on a request by the Yemeni government and President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi."

Did they win?

Did they win?

Obama told them to stop, because they were killing Iranian agents there. Iran told Obama to make them stop.

And we all know that Obama is acting as an puppet for Iran.

When, not if, Obama goes to Iran, everyone around hime better make sure he is not wearing, and does not have access to, a blue dress.

A few years ago, I would not believe you, but in recent events, I'm finding it believable...
