9月16日（路透）——青年運動週三表示，沙烏地戰機猛烈轟炸葉門；與此同時，這些受伊朗支持的武裝分子在閃電推進後鞏固戰果，使德黑蘭在中東戰爭中的影響範圍擴大，並進一步擾亂全球石油供應。Sept 16 (Reuters) - Saudi warplanes pounded Yemen, the Houthis said on Wednesday, as the Iran-backed fighters solidified their gains after a lightning advance that has extended Tehran's reach in the Middle East war and further disrupted global oil supplies.

美國加嚴對沙烏地阿拉伯的旅遊警示，禁止政府雇員前往距葉門邊界20英里內的地區，顯示這個新戰場的衝突正在惡化。In a sign of the worsening conflict in a new theatre, the United States tightened its travel warning for Saudi Arabia, banning government employees from travelling within 20 miles of the Yemen border.

青年運動（Houthis）上週以來沿紅海沿岸橫掃葉門城鎮，並奪取紅海出口曼德海峽中的島嶼。該組織一夜之間發布戰場影片，顯示戰士從受沙烏地支持的部隊手中奪取裝甲車。影片顯示，戰機在上空飛行，沙丘間發生巨大爆炸，煙塵直竄天際。The Houthis, who since last week have swept through Yemeni towns along the Red Sea coast and seized islands in the Bab el-Mandeb strait at its mouth, released battlefield video overnight of fighters seizing armoured vehicles from Saudi-backed forces. Warplanes flew overhead and huge explosions billowed into the sky from desert dunes, the video showed.

青年運動軍事發言人葉海亞・薩雷表示，青年運動已擊落一架沙烏地F-15戰鬥機。相關說法未立即提出證據，沙烏地官員也未立即回覆尋求說明的電子郵件。Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the Houthis had shot down a Saudi F-15 fighter jet. No immediate evidence was presented and Saudi officials did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment.

薩雷表示，沙烏地本週已對葉門發動多達450次空襲。控制葉門南部、受沙烏地支持的政府官員承認，其部隊與沙烏地阿拉伯部隊正在空襲青年運動陣地，不過利雅德方面尚未證實。Saree said the Saudis had carried out as many as 450 air strikes on Yemen this week. Officials in the Saudi-backed government that controls southern Yemen have acknowledged that their forces and those of Saudi Arabia were conducting air strikes on Houthi positions, though Riyadh itself has not confirmed them.

青年運動過去一週多次向沙烏地阿拉伯境內開火，使沙國南部和西部城市拉響警報。上週一起歸咎於伊拉克親伊朗武裝分子的攻擊，也使沙烏地東西管線停擺；該管線是在荷姆茲海峽遭封鎖時，用來改道輸出石油的主要路線。The Houthis have fired repeatedly into Saudi Arabia over the past week causing alarms over cities in the south and west. An attack blamed on Iran-aligned fighters in Iraq last week also knocked out Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline, the main route used to divert oil exports from the blockaded Strait of Hormuz.

利雅德表示，沙國防空系統週二在麥加以南擊落一架青年運動無人機，該機當時尚未進入這座聖城上空的禁航空域；利雅德稱這起攻擊跨越「紅線」，威脅到所有穆斯林神聖的聖地。青年運動發言人薩雷否認該組織鎖定麥加，並稱沙烏地的說法是出於宣傳目的而設下的局。Riyadh said its air defences had shot down a Houthi drone south of Mecca on Tuesday before it entered prohibited airspace over the holy city, an attack it said crossed a "red line" of threatening shrines sacred to all Muslims. Houthi spokesperson Saree denied the group had targeted Mecca, and said the Saudi reports were a set-up for propaganda purposes.

消息人士告訴路透社，美國官員週末在阿曼與青年運動舉行會談；青年運動在會中表示，無意攻擊美國船隻，並承諾遵守去年與美國達成的停火協議。Sources told Reuters that U.S. officials had held a meeting with the Houthis over the weekend in Oman, at which the group said it had no intention of attacking American vessels and was committed to a ceasefire reached with the U.S. last year.

全球能源供應短缺恐進一步惡化DANGER OF GLOBAL ENERGY SUPPLY SHORTAGE WORSENING

戰爭擴大到葉門，恐使全球能源供應短缺進一步惡化。這波短缺源於已持續6個月的美以對伊朗戰爭，該戰爭已擾亂通過荷姆茲海峽的航運。The extension of the war into Yemen threatens to worsen the global energy supply shortage caused by the six-month-old U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, which has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

布蘭特原油價格週三徘徊在每桶108美元左右，接近5月以來最高水準。美國具有政治敏感性的柴油平均零售價格首次升至每加侖6.30美元以上，再創歷史新高。The price of Brent crude hovered around $108 a barrel on Wednesday, close to its highest level since May. The politically sensitive average retail price of diesel fuel in the United States hit another all-time high above $6.30 a gallon for the first time.

交易商表示，若沙烏地東西管線長期關閉，最多可能切斷全球4%的石油供應。沙烏地阿拉伯尚未說明何時可能恢復運作，但美國能源部長克里斯・萊特週二告訴CNBC，原油應會在數日內恢復經由該管線輸送。Traders say a prolonged closure of Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline could cut off as much as 4% of global oil supply. Saudi Arabia has not said when operations might resume, but U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told CNBC on Tuesday that crude oil should be flowing through the pipeline within days.

沙烏地阿拉伯自2015年起率領聯軍與青年運動作戰。近年來，這場衝突在停火下大致平息，但青年運動7月宣布對沙烏地阿拉伯實施海上封鎖，並向沙國南部地區開火後，戰火再度升溫。本月暴力情勢急劇加劇，當時這個武裝組織擊退了受沙烏地支持、受國際承認的葉門政府所屬部隊。Saudi Arabia has led a coalition battling the Houthis since 2015. The conflict had largely quietened under a ceasefire in recent years, but reignited when the Houthis declared a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia in July and fired at southern areas in the kingdom. Violence has intensified sharply this month when the militant group pushed back forces aligned with the Saudi-backed internationally recognised Yemeni government.

沙烏地阿拉伯王儲穆罕默德・本・薩勒曼上週致電美國總統唐納・川普尋求軍事支持；截至目前，美方支援僅限於情報援助。Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman phoned U.S. President Donald Trump last week seeking military support, which so far has been limited to intelligence aid.

美國在2025年轟炸青年運動長達兩個月，但在達成川普總統所稱、將停止攻擊船隻的停火協議後，終止了那場行動。The United States bombed the Houthis for two months in 2025, but halted that campaign after reaching what President Donald Trump described as a ceasefire that would halt attacks on ships.

川普如今面臨兩難：是袖手旁觀，冒著青年運動推進使全球能源危機惡化的風險；還是向沙烏地提供更直接的軍事支持，冒著將代價高昂的美國干預擴大到另一個戰場的風險。Trump now faces a dilemma of whether to stand by and risk the Houthi advance worsening the global energy crisis, or provide more direct military support to the Saudis and risk extending the costly U.S. intervention to another theatre.
