英国首相安迪·伯纳姆宣布同意向沙特阿拉伯提供防御性军事支援，包括由英国皇家空军Voyager加油机为沙特战机进行空中加油，支援周期为数周。1伯纳姆表示："我们已收到沙特阿拉伯的军事支援请求，我同意了该项防御性空中加油的请求。"1此举旨在帮助沙特对抗伊朗支持的胡塞武装，保护巴卜曼德海峡和波斯湾的能源基础设施。1
伯纳姆强调这一决定与全球经济稳定密切相关。1他指出中东局势动荡推高全球能源价格，给英国国内带来通胀压力和生活成本压力，因此保护能源供应对全球经济至关重要。1此前英国已在该地区部署Sky Sabre防空系统，本次空中加油支援是伯纳姆执政以来首次军事部署行动。1伯纳姆计划在前往纽约参加联合国大会期间，于周二与美国总统特朗普举行首次会面，届时将敦促美国缓和伊朗冲突。1
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has announced his agreement to supply Saudi Arabia with defensive aerial support, including mid-air refueling operations by RAF Voyager aircraft for Saudi combat jets.1 Burnham stated that he "received a request from Saudi Arabia for military support and agreed to that request for defensive air-to-air refuelling."1 The support is intended to span several weeks and aims to protect critical energy infrastructure in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Persian Gulf from threats posed by Iranian-backed Houthi fighters.1
The British government has framed the intervention as essential to safeguarding global energy supplies and alleviating economic turbulence that has driven up inflation pressures both internationally and domestically in the UK.1 This marks the first military deployment under Burnham's administration, following the existing deployment of Sky Sabre air defense systems already positioned in the region.1 The Prime Minister plans to use an upcoming Tuesday meeting with US President Trump in New York, ahead of his participation in the United Nations General Assembly, to urge the United States to de-escalate tensions with Iran.1
