沙特支持的也门军队于周一表示，在发动大规模反攻后，他们已将胡塞武装驱逐出红海曼德海峡周边的关键地区。
Saudi-backed Yemeni forces said Monday they had expelled the Houthis from key areas surrounding the Bab el-Mandeb Strait on the Red Sea following a major counteroffensive.
收复上个月在胡塞武装闪电进攻中被占领的沿海地区，削弱了叛军大幅扰乱能源流通的能力。然而，在一些沙特和也门评论员眼中，这场被寄予厚望的“零时”反攻可能会扩大伊朗战争，进一步扰乱能源市场：沙特阿美公司负责人对《金融时报》表示，全球石油库存目前“极其匮乏”。
Reclaiming coastal areas seized during the Houthis’ lightning advance last month curtails the rebels’ ability to significantly disrupt energy flows, but the counteroffensive — a hoped-for “zero hour” — among some Saudi and Yemeni pundits, could widen the Iran war, further upending energy markets: Saudi Aramco’s chief told the Financial Times that global oil stockpiles are now “scarily thin.”

The kingdom’s previous war against the Houthis resulted in a yearslong quagmire and devastating humanitarian crisis, but former Saudi intelligence chief Prince Turki Al-Faisal told that restraint “is no longer operable.”— Brendan Ruberry
