00:17What if the United States didn't choose a ceasefire with Iran, but was actually forced into it?
00:24That's the explosive claim coming from Abdul Malik al-Houthi, the leader of Yemen's Ansarullah movement.
00:32In a televised address, al-Houthi didn't hold back.
00:35He said the U.S. agreed to a ceasefire with Iran out of necessity after what he described
00:41as a defeat in a wider war of aggression.
00:45According to him, American and allied forces suffered heavy losses, including hundreds
00:50of casualties and major damage to military equipment.
00:54He even claimed that U.S. bases in the region were hit and that dozens of aircraft were destroyed.
01:00Now that's a massive allegation.
01:03Al-Houthi framed this as part of a much bigger conflict, what he calls a confrontation between
01:09the axis of resistance and its enemies.
01:11He also pointed to the timeline.
01:14Around 40 days into the conflict, a temporary ceasefire was brokered, reportedly with involvement
01:20from Pakistan.
01:22But talks between Washington and Tehran failed to produce a long-term deal.
01:27And here's where it gets even more intense.
01:30He claimed that one of the original goals of the war was to overthrow Iran's political
01:35system altogether.
01:36In his words, this wasn't just a military campaign.
01:40It was about reshaping the entire region.
01:43He also accused the U.S. and Israel of launching an unjustified war, warning that it could destabilize
01:51not just the Middle East, but the global economy.
01:54At the same time, he noted something interesting.
01:57Many European countries and even members of NATO reportedly stayed out of the conflict.
02:02Why?
02:03Because they believed the risks were simply too high.
02:07Meanwhile, Al-Houthi says his own forces played a role, launching missile and drone attacks
02:12and targeting activity in the Red Sea to block U.S. and Israeli operations.
02:17Now here's the reality check.
02:19These are claims from one side of the conflict.
02:22There is no independent confirmation that the U.S. suffered losses on the scale he describes,
02:27or that it agreed to a ceasefire because of a defeat.
02:31But the narrative itself is powerful.
02:34Because in modern warfare, perception can be just as important as reality.
02:39So the big question is, was this ceasefire a strategic pause or a forced step back?
02:45And more importantly, who controls the story that the world believes?
02:53What's the difference?
