也门伊朗支持的胡塞武装周日对沙特西南部城市吉赞的阿美石油炼油厂发动了无人机攻击[1]。胡塞武装军事发言人亚叶亚·萨里确认了这次袭击[1]，沙特能源部随后报告称该设施发生火灾，火灾已被扑灭，无人员伤亡[1]。
此次攻击发生之际，伊朗就重启霍尔木兹海峡问题向美国提出了多项要求[1]。伊朗最高国家安全委员会声明，在美国"改正行为"前，霍尔木兹海峡不会开放[1]。伊朗提出的条件包括美国永不再威胁伊朗、永久结束与伊朗的战争、解除对伊朗港口的海军封锁、撤出该地区军事力量、对伊朗战争损失进行"完全赔偿"、解除制裁并"无条件"释放冻结资产[1]。
与此同时，伊朗与阿曼正在敲定临时协议以重启霍尔木兹海峡，协议预计由伊朗、阿曼、美国及联合国国际海事组织联合宣布[1]。根据2022年停火协议，也门内战已超过四年未发生大规模战斗[1]。
Yemen's Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sareeh announced that the Iran-backed group conducted a drone strike on an Aramco oil refinery in Jizan, a city in southwestern Saudi Arabia, on Sunday [1]. The Saudi Energy Ministry reported that a fire broke out at the facility but was subsequently extinguished, with no casualties recorded [1].
The attack represents the latest military operation by the Iranian-aligned Houthis against Saudi Arabia [1]. According to a 2022 ceasefire agreement, Yemen's civil war has seen no large-scale fighting for over four years [1]. Meanwhile, Iran's Supreme National Security Council issued a statement declaring that the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed until the United States "corrects its behavior" [1]. Iran's conditions for reopening the strait include a permanent U.S. commitment to cease threatening Iran, an end to military operations against Iran, the lifting of naval blockades on Iranian ports, withdrawal of military forces from the region, "complete compensation" for war losses inflicted on Iran, the removal of sanctions, and "unconditional" release of frozen Iranian assets [1].
Separately, Iran and Oman are finalizing a preliminary agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with the accord expected to be jointly announced by Iran, Oman, the United States, and the United Nations International Maritime Organization [1].
