Houthis end cease fire with US and say they will attack American forces in the Red Sea

Yemen's Houthi Movement has ended a cease fire with the United States that it negotiated last month with the mediation of Oman.

The Ansar Allah movement will launch attacks on US forces in the Red Sea in response to US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, Mohammed al-Buheiti, a member of the Yemeni movement's politburo, said in an interview with Al Jazeera.

"The first stage will be to attack American forces in the Red Sea," a Houthi spokesman said.

According to him, the Houthis will expand the scale of the conflict until the “aggression against Iran” stops.

He also added that the ceasefire agreement between the United States and the Houthis was now null and void.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation is an important talking shop

The annual gathering of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) is taking place this week in the Chinese port city of Tianjin. There are 10 member states in the Beijing backed SCO - including China itself, Russia and India, Pakistan and Iran - and 16 dialogue partners and observers, including some, like Armenia and Azerbaijan, who aspire to be full members. Leaders of the 26 countries have been arriving in Tianjin for the summit. The summit itself is largely symbolic but will allow leaders to air common grievances and shared interests. The organisation was created by China, Russia and four Central Asian countries in 2001 as a countermeasure to limit the influence of Western alliances such as NATO. This year's gathering is the largest since the organisation was founded. For Tianjin, the summit has become a major event with banners and billboards promoting it throughout the northern port city.
