伊朗军事中央司令部负责人阿里·阿卜杜拉希在8月1日周六警告，"任何充当美国防御盾牌的国家都将被战争之火吞没"[1]。这一表态出现在特朗普威胁对伊朗进行"狠狠打击"之际[1]，美国媒体报道称可能考虑周末前进行大规模军事行动，其中包括针对伊朗能源基础设施的攻击[1]。伊朗和美国本周重新交火，打破了此前数天的相对平静期，但周五至周六夜间未报告有打击行动[1]。
与此同时，伊朗支持的也门胡塞武装宣称已强制8艘沙特油轮改道绕过非洲好望角[1]。胡塞武装上周宣布对沙特能源出口实施新封锁，称这是对沙特多年来对其控制区施加压力的报复[1]。
Iran's military central command has issued a stark warning to neighboring countries, cautioning that any nation serving as a "defensive shield" for the United States will be engulfed by the "fires of war."[1] The threat, delivered by Ali Abdullahi, commander of Iran's military central command, on Saturday, August 1st, comes as tensions escalate between Tehran and Washington.[1]
The warning follows reported threats from U.S. President Trump to strike Iran "very hard," with American media outlets reporting that large-scale military operations targeting Iranian energy infrastructure could be conducted before the weekend.[1] The region has experienced renewed clashes between Iranian and American forces this week, following a relatively quiet period of several days, though no strikes were reported between Friday and Saturday night.[1]
In a parallel escalation, Yemen's Houthi forces—backed by Iran—have announced a new blockade targeting Saudi energy exports, claiming to have forced eight Saudi oil tankers to divert around the Cape of Good Hope in Africa.[1] The Houthis framed the naval action as retaliation for years of Saudi pressure on areas under their control.[1]
