伊朗支持的胡塞武装在也门红海沿岸地区夺取领土，包括巴卜曼德海峡附近1，导致大量平民流离失所3。这一动向引发国际社会强烈反应。G7外长在联合国大会期间发表联合声明，谴责"胡塞武装对沙特阿拉伯实施的不可接受的持续袭击"2，并敦促伊朗停止对反政府武装的支持2。
也门自2014年胡塞武装推翻政府以来陷入内战1。沙特阿拉伯领导的阿拉伯联军于2015年干预冲突1，此后一直为也门政府对抗胡塞武装提供军事支持2。然而，特朗普政府在最后时刻叫停美国空袭行动3，引发沙特对美国军事承诺减弱的担忧3。
面对胡塞武装日益升级的无人机和导弹攻击2，英国首相安迪·伯纳姆宣布英国将向沙特提供有限军事支持2。英国皇家空军将提供"防御性"空中加油援助2，使用RAF Voyager加油机执行任务2，这一协议预计在数周内启动2。英国已部署的Sky Sabre防空系统配合该任务运作2。胡塞武装已宣布封锁曼德海峡和红海的沙特相关船只2。
Iran-backed Houthi forces have seized territory along Yemen's Red Sea coast, including areas near the Bab al-Mandab Strait, prompting thousands of civilians to flee their homes.1 The territorial gains represent an escalation in Yemen's ongoing conflict, which began in 2014 when the Houthis overthrew the government and has been marked by Saudi-led Arab coalition intervention since 2015.1
The international community has responded with growing alarm. G7 foreign ministers issued a joint statement condemning "in the strongest terms the unacceptable continued strikes carried out by the Houthis in Yemen and against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," while urging Iran to halt its support for the armed group.2 In response to the intensifying threat, British Prime Minister Andie Burnham announced that the United Kingdom would provide limited military support to Saudi Arabia, including defensive air refueling assistance from the Royal Air Force using RAF Voyager tanker aircraft, coordinated with the already-deployed UK Sky Sabre air defense system.2 The UK commitment is expected to commence within weeks.2 The Houthis have declared a blockade of the Mandab Strait and Red Sea shipping associated with Saudi Arabia, further threatening regional stability.2
Recent developments have compounded regional anxieties about American commitment to Saudi security. The Trump administration halted planned U.S. airstrikes at the last moment, raising Saudi concerns about a potential reduction in American military support.3 Meanwhile, Houthi forces continue to battle for strategic heights across Yemen, with Saturday's attack on Riyadh marking the group's first strike on the Saudi capital in years.2
