Warring parties in Yemen agree to two-month truce

After more than a year of shuttle-diplomacy around the Middle East, President Biden's special envoy for Yemen, Tim Lenderking, said a U.N.-brokered, two-month truce has been agreed by warring parties in Yemen.

"This is a positive moment for Yemen, and we've got to seize it," Lenderking said Saturday in an interview with CBS News. 

The deal, reached by the Saudi-led coalition and the Iran-backed Houthi rebels, was expected to go into effect on Saturday, in time for the beginning of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The warring parties agreed to stop all military operations across Yemen, including cross-border attacks.
