伊朗支持的也门胡塞武装对沙特阿拉伯南部发动大规模军事打击，使用数十架无人机和导弹袭击该国四个城市，包括哈立斯穆沙特、阿卜哈、纳季兰和吉赞2。这次攻击导致至少73人受伤，其中包括妇女和儿童12，并引发沙特南部多处石油设施和公用设施起火1。这一行动打破了也门内战四年停火局面，标志着中东地区冲突的重大升级12。
沙特当局和联军方面迅速做出回应。沙特外交部声明表示将"采取一切必要措施维护主权"2，沙特领导的联盟发言人图尔基·马基少将称将"采取一切必要的军事措施制止恐怖的胡塞民兵"2。对此，胡塞武装发言人亚叶亚·萨里指控利雅得升级战争，声称胡塞将做出回应2。据报道，沙特领导的联盟过去三天在也门进行了120多次空袭4。这次袭击对国际能源市场产生了影响，布伦特原油价格上涨超2%，至每桶99美元以上2。
这次冲突的升级与更广泛的区域形势相关联。胡塞武装自2014年以来一直与也门政府交战，2015年沙特阿拉伯加入战争3。2022年实现的大致停火维持至今年7月，随后胡塞武装恢复对沙特的攻击3。自2023年11月至2024年12月间，胡塞武装针对100多艘商船进行导弹和无人机攻击，击沉两艘，造成四名水手丧生，威胁占全球贸易12%的红海航道3。伊朗最高国安委员会秘书穆赫辛·礼萨伊在社交媒体发文表示，"经济战争将通过波斯湾海上排斥区来应对"2。
Iran-backed Houthi fighters launched a major assault on southern Saudi Arabia, deploying dozens of drones and missiles against four cities and energy infrastructure in what marks a significant intensification of regional conflict 24. The attack left at least 73 people wounded, including women and children, and triggered fires at multiple oil and gas facilities across the southwestern cities of Abha, Jazan, Najran, and Hail 124. The strike represents a dramatic breach of an informal ceasefire that had largely held for four years before collapsing in July of this year 34.
Saudi Arabia's leadership responded with defiance, with the kingdom's defense ministry vowing to "take all necessary measures to protect sovereignty" 2. The Saudi-led coalition's military spokesperson, Major General Turki al-Maliki, declared the military would "take all necessary military measures to stop the terrorist Houthi militia" 2. The Houthis, through military spokesman Yahya Saree, accused Riyadh of escalating the conflict and warned of further retaliation 2. The attack coincided with renewed regional tensions following recent Saudi airstrikes in northwestern Yemen; over the past three days alone, the Saudi-led coalition conducted more than 120 air raids, including strikes on a prison facility that killed at least 11 people 4.
The assault had immediate economic ripples, with Brent crude oil prices climbing over 2 percent to exceed $99 per barrel 2. Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary, Mohsin Rezaei, responded to the strike by posting on social media that "economic warfare will be countered through Persian Gulf maritime exclusion zones" 2. The Houthis have emerged as an increasingly disruptive force in Middle Eastern affairs since 2014, when they began their conflict with Yemen's government—a conflict that has claimed approximately 150,000 lives to date 3. Since the Gaza war erupted in late 2023, the group has dramatically expanded its operations, launching missile and drone attacks against over 100 commercial vessels in the Red Sea between November 2023 and December 2024, sinking two ships and killing four sailors 3.
