海湾地区的紧张局势周二持续，一名胡塞武装官员声称，埃及授权向沙特阿拉伯提供军事支持，相当于对也门“宣战”。
Tensions in the Gulf region continued on Tuesday, as a Houthi official claimed that Egypt’s authorisation of military support for Saudi Arabia amounted to a “declaration of war” against Yemen.
据法新社报道，胡塞武装政治局成员穆罕默德·阿里·胡塞在Telegram上的一篇帖子中发表了上述言论。
他被引述说：“埃及及其议会宣布支持所谓的保卫沙特王国，从而对也门共和国宣战。”
Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, a member of the Houthis’ political bureau, made the remarks in a post on Telegram, according to news agency AFP.“Egypt and its parliament declared support for what is called the defence of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and in doing so, it declares war against the Republic of Yemen,” he was quoted as saying.
胡塞武装官员的言论是在埃及议会一天前授权向沙特阿拉伯派遣军事支持，以防御也门胡塞武装的袭击之后发表的，法新社周一报道说。
Saudi forces say 10 ballistic missiles launched by Houthis intercepted Egypt parliament authorises military support to Saudi ArabiaThe remarks by the Houthi official come a day after Egypt's parliament authorised sending military support to Saudi Arabia for defence from attacks by Yemen's Houthis, AFP reported on Monday.
据报道引用议会的一份官方声明称，众议院以三分之二多数票赞成“授权阿卜杜勒·法塔赫·塞西总统采取必要措施支持沙特王国”。
According to an official statement of the parliament, cited in the report, the House of Representatives voted with a two-thirds majority in favour of "authorising President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to take the necessary measures to support the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia".Riyadh is one of Cairo's strongest allies; however, the report added that it was unclear what defensive support Egypt could provide.
报道补充说，利雅得是开罗最强大的盟友之一；然而，目前尚不清楚埃及能提供什么样的防御支持。埃及称，致命袭击后的边境行动针对非法采矿。沙特领导的联盟称，已拦截胡塞武装导弹。
据路透社报道，周二早些时候，也门的沙特领导联盟表示，已拦截并摧毁胡塞武装向沙特阿拉伯两个地区发射的弹道导弹和无人机。
Egypt says border operation targeted illegal mining after deadly strikeSaudi-led coalition says it intercepted Houthi missilesEarlier on Tuesday, the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said that it had intercepted and destroyed ballistic missiles and drones launched by the Houthis towards two regions of Saudi Arabia, according to Reuters.
联盟称，胡塞武装向沙特阿拉伯东部地区发射了三枚弹道导弹，向该国南部地区发射了四架无人机。
The coalition said that the Houthis launched three ballistic missiles towards Saudi Arabia's eastern region, and four drones towards the country's southern region.
报道补充说，自胡塞武装上个月占领也门红海沿岸战略地区以来，沙特阿拉伯加大了对胡塞武装的打击力度。
Saudi Arabia has amped up its strikes on the Houthis since the group captured strategic areas along Yemen's Red Sea coast last month, the report added.
油价下跌，因美伊和平谈判缓和紧张局势，但沙特的袭击使全球供应风险依然高企。
Oil prices fall as US-Iran peace talks ease tensions, but Saudi attacks keep global supply risks highMeanwhile, the escalation has opened another front in the conflict between the US and Iran, which began on February 28 with joint strikes by the US and Israel against Iran.
此次升级在美伊冲突中开辟了另一条战线，该冲突始于2月28日美国和以色列对伊朗的联合打击。作为报复，德黑兰发动反击，打击中东地区的美国和以色列资产，并加强了对战略要地霍尔木兹海峡的控制。（综合通讯社报道）
