🇺🇸 English

Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a series of attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities on Tuesday, further underscoring the group's increasingly disruptive influence across the Middle East in recent years.

也门胡塞叛军于周二对沙特阿拉伯的石油设施发动了一连串袭击此举进一步印证了该组织近年来在中东地区日益加剧的破坏性影响力

Acting in concert with Iran and its allied armed forces, they have extended their targets to encompass Israel, Saudi Arabia, and a vital global shipping lane.

他们与伊朗及其盟友武装力量协同一致将打击目标扩展至以色列沙特阿拉伯以及一条至关重要的全球航运通道

Since 2014, they have been engaged in a relentless conflict against Yemen's internationally recognized government, at which time the rebels swept down from their mountainous heartland, seizing vast swathes of territory in the country's north and center.

自2014年以来他们持续与也门国际承认的政府交战彼时叛军自其多山腹地席卷而下攻占了也门北部及中部大片领土

The following year, Saudi Arabia intervened in the conflict on behalf of that government.

翌年沙特阿拉伯代表该政府介入战事

The 2022 ceasefire agreement largely curbed hostilities.

2022年的停火协议大体上遏制了敌对行动

However, following Hamas's surprise attack on October 7, 2023, which ignited the Gaza war, the Houthi forces subsequently redirected their strikes toward Israel and the Red Sea shipping lanes.

然而在哈马斯于2023年10月7日发动突袭并由此引爆加沙战争之后胡塞武装将打击目标转向以色列红海航线

It was not until the United States launched a series of airstrikes against the Houthis in early 2025 that the intensity of such attacks began to subside.

直至2025年初美国对胡塞武装发起一系列空袭此类攻击的烈度方才有所收敛

During the intense early phase of the Iranian war, the Houthi forces remained on the sidelines, yet by July they had resumed their assaults on Saudi Arabia and proclaimed a blockade against the oil giants.

在伊朗战争初期的激烈阶段胡塞武装曾作壁上观但至7月他们恢复了对沙特阿拉伯的袭击并宣布对石油巨头实施封锁

The Houthis had their own motives for engaging Saudi Arabia, yet this equally served Iran's interests, as Tehran sought to exert pressure on Washington, and intensifying pressure on oil-producing nations aligned with the United States was precisely in line with its strategic objectives.

胡塞武装与沙特作战自有其理由但这同样符合伊朗的利益因为德黑兰试图向美国施压而加大对与美国结盟的产油国的压力正合其战略意图

The Houthi movement belongs to the Zaydi branch of Shia Islam, a minority sect that ruled Yemen for nearly a millennium until its reign came to an end in 1962.

胡塞武装属于伊斯兰教少数派什叶派中的宰德派该派曾统治也门长达千年直至1962年才结束

Their official slogan reads: "God is Great; Death to America; Death to Israel; Curse the Jews; Victory to Islam."

他们的官方口号是:“真主至大美国去死以色列去死诅咒犹太人伊斯兰胜利。”

Prior to launching their 2014 offensive, they had been engaged in protracted hostilities with the Yemeni central government, yet the campaign swiftly descended into a stalemate.

在发动2014年攻势之前,他们与也门中央政府进行了旷日持久的交战然而这场攻势旋即陷入胶着状态

The conflict has claimed the lives of roughly 150,000 people and has repeatedly brought Yemen to the brink of famine.

这场战争已夺去约十五万人的生命并时常将也门推向饥荒的悬崖边缘

Even before the outbreak of hostilities, the country had already been the most impoverished nation in the Arab world.

即便在战火燃起之前该国便已是阿拉伯世界中最为贫困的国家

The Saudi-led blockade has largely isolated the Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, including the capital Sanaa, thereby exacerbating the suffering of the local population.

以沙特为首的封锁措施在很大程度上隔绝了胡塞武装控制的也门地区包括首都萨那加剧了当地民众的苦难

Meanwhile, the Houthis face mounting discontent over their detention of UN employees and aid workers.

同时胡塞武装因拘留联合国雇员援助人员面临越来越多的不满

The ceasefire agreement reached in 2022 largely held until July of this year, when the Houthi forces resumed their offensive against Saudi Arabia in response to an airstrike on Sana'a International Airportan attack the rebels claimed had prevented flights from Iran from landing.

2022年达成的停火协议大体上维持至今年7月彼时胡塞武装恢复对沙特阿拉伯的攻势以此回应针对萨那国际机场的空袭——叛军声称该次空袭阻断了来自伊朗的航班降落

The Houthis further declared a blockade on Saudi shipping, a move that posed a grave threat to a major oil-exporting nation at a time when Iran's disruption of the Strait of Hormuz had sent oil prices soaring.

胡塞武装进一步宣布对沙特航运实施封锁此举在伊朗扰乱霍尔木兹海峡致使油价飙升之际,对一个主要石油出口国构成了严峻威胁

They simultaneously jeopardized another vital trade artery running through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Red Sea, a route that in peacetime carries 12 percent of global trade volume.

他们同时危及另一条贯穿曼德海峡与红海关键贸易通道该通道在和平时期承载着全球12%的贸易流量

Although Saudi Arabia has vowed to retaliate against attacks of this nature, its stance appears designed to avert being drawn once more into the vortex of full-scale conflict.

沙特阿拉伯誓言对诸如此类的袭击予以回击但其姿态似乎意在避免再度陷入全面冲突的漩涡

The Houthi movement is a proud member of what Iran calls the "axis of resistance," a coalition of armed groups hostile to Israel that encompasses Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and various Tehran-backed militias in Iraq.

胡塞武装伊朗所谓“抵抗轴心”引以为傲的成员该轴心是一个由敌视以色列的武装组织构成的联盟,涵盖黎巴嫩真主党加沙地带的哈马斯以及伊拉克境内受德黑兰支持的各派民兵。

Iran categorically denies supplying weapons to the Houthisa move that would constitute a blatant violation of the UN arms embargoyet a wealth of intercepted evidence indicates that Iranian-manufactured munitions have repeatedly been seized on vessels bound for Yemen.

伊朗矢口否认向胡塞武装输送武器——此举将构成对联合国禁运的公然违背——然而截获的诸多证据表明伊朗制造的军火屡次在驶往也门的船只上被查获。

The Houthi movement rose to prominence in the wake of the Gaza war, when they commenced missile and drone strikes against Israel and targeted commercial vessels in the Red Sea.

胡塞武装在加沙战争爆发后声名鹊起彼时他们开始对以色列发动导弹与无人机袭击,并将红海上的商船作为打击目标

The Houthis have characterized these operations as a blockade of Israel; however, the vast majority of ships attacked bear no known connection to Israel or the Gaza conflict.

胡塞武装将此类行动定性为对以色列的封锁然而绝大多数遭袭船只与以色列或加沙战争并无已知关联

Between November 2023 and December 2024, the Houthi forces targeted over a hundred merchant vessels with missiles and drones, sinking two and causing the deaths of four crew members.

在2023年11月至2024年12月期间胡塞武装以导弹和无人机瞄准了逾百艘商船击沉两艘并导致四名船员丧生

Their actions drastically reduced the volume of trade flowing through the Red Sea corridor, which typically carries goods worth up to one trillion dollars annually.

他们的行动大幅削减了红海走廊的贸易流通量该走廊通常每年承载价值高达一万亿美元的商品

The United States and Israel ultimately responded in 2025 with a series of airstrikes, which brought hostilities to a virtual standstill.

美国以色列最终于2025年以一连串空袭作为回应致使敌对行动基本偃旗息鼓

The Houthi forces have resumed their offensive against the Yemeni government troops, resulting in the deaths of dozens of soldiers and civilians.

胡塞武装已恢复对也门政府军的攻势导致数十名军人平民丧生

Furthermore, they have opened fire on several Saudi oil tankers, thereby disrupting the navigational order along the Red Sea shipping routes.

此外他们还向数艘沙特油轮开火从而扰乱了红海航线的通行秩序

Since the outbreak of the Iranian war, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait has consistently served as a pressure valve, owing to Saudi Arabia's use of pipelines to transport oil to the Red Sea, thereby circumventing the navigational risks of the Strait of Hormuz.

自伊朗战争爆发以来曼德海峡始终扮演着泄压阀的角色缘于沙特阿拉伯借助管道将石油输送至红海以此规避霍尔木兹海峡的通行风险

Iran's de facto blockade of the strait has sent shockwaves through the global economy, driving up prices for fuel and other commodities in markets far beyond the Middle East.

伊朗对该海峡的事实性封锁已对全球经济造成剧烈震荡将燃料及其他大宗商品的价格推升至中东地区以外的市场

The Houthi forces have asserted that their attacks on Saudi tankers were intended to lift the blockade imposed by Saudi Arabia.

胡塞武装宣称针对沙特油轮的袭击意在解除沙特的封锁

Nevertheless, this maneuver also aligns with Iran's interests, carving out a new front in a protracted regional conflict that shows no sign of resolution.

然而此举与伊朗的利益相契合,在旷日持久难见终局的地区冲突开辟出一条新的战线
