美國總統川普證實曾兩度拒絕沙烏地王儲穆罕默德請求美軍對葉門胡塞叛軍發動空襲,並透露胡塞組織曾主動聯繫美國表示不願作戰。儘管沙烏地求援失敗,胡塞仍越境襲擊沙烏地南部基地,導致建物受損與兩人受傷,同時葉門紅海沿線戰亂加劇,超過7.6萬人流離失所,難民人數週增四倍,約1400人嘗試乘船逃往吉布地。

葉門內戰自2014年胡塞組織佔領首都薩那以來持續,沙烏地領導的聯軍自2015年介入以恢復也門政府。近年來,胡塞組織透過無人機與飛彈襲擊沙烏地境內目標及紅海航運,加劇區域緊張。美國雖為沙烏地主要武器供應國,但拜登政府曾試圖減少對葉門戰爭的直接支援,川普政府則傾向維持傳統同盟關係同時避免地面軍事投入。

中東地緣局勢爆出戲劇性內幕!隨著葉門戰火急劇惡化,美國新聞網站《Axios》披露,沙烏地阿拉伯實質統治者、王儲穆罕默德(Mohammed bin Salman)上週兩度致電美國總統川普,緊急請求美軍對葉門胡塞(Houthi,又譯「青年運動」)叛軍發動軍事空襲,但這項請求遭到川普斷然拒絕。
法新社13日報導,川普12日面對媒體詢問時,親口證實他確實與沙國王儲通話,但他隨後語出驚人地透露,青年運動方面此前也主動聯繫華府,「他們打電話給我們,說他們不想跟我們打」。

拒替沙國出兵空襲 川普笑稱局勢「好得很」
川普並未說明美方是否會採取任何後續軍事行動,僅向在場記者輕描淡寫地表示,該地區的局勢「一切都會好得很」(fine and dandy)。知情官員透露,川普向沙國王儲明確表示美軍目前不願直接捲入打擊,但承諾會持續向沙國提供情報共享與目標標定協助。
就在沙國求援受挫之際,戰火已進一步波及沙烏地本土。胡塞軍事發言人薩里(Yahya Saree)12日宣布,該組織已出動大批無人機與飛彈,越境突襲沙烏地南部沙魯拉(Sharurah)軍事基地,精準打擊其武器庫與指揮中心;沙國防空單位雖發布警報,但邊境地區仍有拋射物墜落,導致一處清真寺及多棟建物受損,並造成2人受傷。
聯合國國際移民組織(IOM)12日示警,隨著青年運動全面掌控葉門紅海海岸線並攻佔港市摩卡,戰亂引發的難民潮出現失控跡象。自7月以來,已有超過7.6萬人流離失所,逃難人數在過去一週暴增4倍,甚至有約1400名難民冒險搭船橫渡紅海逃往東非國家吉布地。

The Ukrainian Navy claimed that its Sargan 3000 drone sank a Russian drone in the Black Sea with a 12.7 mm remote-controlled machine gun.

Former Navy SEAL member and author Jack Carr said in an interview with Fox News that U.S. adversaries such as China and Russia hope to see the United States continue to be mired in the Middle East. He pointed out that Iran had obtained high-resolution satellite photos of the base in Jordan from China before it attacked a U.S. military base in Jordan in July this year, resulting in the death of three U.S. troops. Kahl questioned whether the United States could learn lessons from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and warned that another quagmire would give China and Russia greater geopolitical freedom of action.
