サウジアラビアの安全保障、脆弱さ浮き彫り 国防「主軸」の米国、支援応じず

Quick Look

サウジアラビアの首都リヤドの国際空港が10日に攻撃を受け、死傷者が出た。イラン支援のフーシ派によるミサイル攻撃が繰り返されており、米国の軍事支援要請に応じない状況が続いている。サウジは脱米国を加速し、トルコ・パキスタンと防衛協定を結ぶなど代替路線を模索しているが、準備不足の指摘もある。UAEのイエメン撤収もサウジの安全保障環境悪化の背景にある。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

サウジは2015年からイエメン内戦に軍事介入し、フーシ派掃討を目的としてきた。イランとの代理戦争と見なされていたが、2022年に非公式の停戦が成立し、一時的に平穏が保たれていた。しかし、UAEがイエメンから撤収し、サウジとの連携が弱体化したことで、フーシ派の軍事活動が再燃した。

【カイロ時事】サウジアラビアの「空の玄関口」である首都リヤドの国際空港が10日、攻撃に見舞われ、多数の死傷者が出た。サウジでは最近、イエメンの親イラン武装組織フーシ派による空港などへのミサイル攻撃が繰り返されている。米国などに軍事支援を要請しているものの反応は鈍く、サウジの安全保障体制の脆弱(ぜいじゃく)さが浮き彫りとなった。

新たな空港攻撃で1人死亡 イラン、沈静化へ「対話支援」―サウジ

◇イラン攻撃で環境悪化

今年2月に始まった米イスラエルのイラン攻撃以降、サウジの安全保障環境は一気に悪化した。これまで国防の「主軸」だった米国は、対イラン戦への戦力投入で、サウジを含む湾岸諸国を満足に支援する余裕がなくなった。

フーシ派との衝突が再燃した7月以降、サウジの事実上の最高権力者ムハンマド皇太子はトランプ米大統領に軍事介入を強く求めたが、受け入れられなかったと報じられている。

サウジは取り急ぎ「脱米国」を加速。8月にはトルコ、パキスタンと共同防衛協定を結び、エジプトなどからも支援を模索しているとされるが、専門家からは「準備不足」との声が上がる。

◇UAEのイエメン撤収も背景に

サウジは2015年、フーシ派掃討のためイエメン内戦への軍事介入を開始した。イランとの「代理戦争」とも指摘された戦闘は程なくして泥沼化。22年に非公式の停戦に入り、一時は一定の平穏が保たれていた。

転機は25年末、それまで「反フーシ派」でサウジと共闘していたアラブ首長国連邦(UAE)が、イエメン暫定政権と対立し、曲折の末、部隊を同国から撤収させたことだ。

UAEは地元勢力との連携役を担ってきた経緯があり、暫定政権の関係者は、米CNNテレビに「UAEの効率的な指揮系統はサウジに引き継がれていない」と指摘。現地での連携の欠如が、フーシ派に軍事活動拡大の隙を与えたとみられる。

US bipartisan lawmaker calls for withdrawal of imports of Russian diesel oil: ``Stop financial support''

On the 11th, seven U.S. senators from both the Republican and Democratic parties issued a statement calling for an immediate change in policy regarding the Trump administration's agreement with Russia to supply Russian diesel oil to the United States and other countries. He stressed that the United States should not extend financial aid to President Putin as Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians. Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary George Bessent insisted on a Fox News program that he would use all legal authority to implement the move, and also acknowledged that it would help lower diesel prices.

U.S. and Ukrainian leaders respond to growing mistrust by offering Russian diesel oil and easing sanctions

President Trump has prioritized lowering diesel oil prices ahead of the U.S. midterm elections, and expressed the view that it would be desirable for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who continues to attack Russian oil refineries, to step down. Mr. Zelenskiy had previously criticized the US for relaxing sanctions against Russia, and if distrust between the two leaders grows, the chances of an end to Russia's invasion of Ukraine could be diminished.
