据福克斯新闻数字频道了解，上周五该恐怖组织夺取也门Bab al-Mandab海峡沿岸关键阵地后，沙特阿拉伯正敦促华盛顿对伊朗支持的胡塞武装采取直接军事行动。
胡塞武装在也门海岸线沿线的阵地得到显著加强，此地是全球最重要的航运咽喉要道之一——这条狭窄航道连接红海与亚丁湾，此前因伊朗战争严重扰乱了包括石油在内的货物通过霍尔木兹海峡的航运，该航道已被用作替代航线。
上周五的快速推进引发了利雅得和华盛顿最高层的紧急磋商，一位知情消息人士向福克斯新闻数字频道透露，沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼已敦促唐纳德·特朗普总统对胡塞武装采取军事行动。

四位也门政府消息人士周五向路透社透露，在也门政府军撤离后，胡塞武装已抵达战略岛屿梅永岛（又称佩里姆岛），并占领了大陆沿海城镇杜哈卜。
福克斯新闻数字频道通过一位知情消息人士独立证实了Axios报道的关键内容，该消息人士称，在过去24小时内，王储曾多次与特朗普通话，讨论也门局势升级问题。
目前美国并不想直接采取军事行动，但据该消息人士透露，特朗普告诉本·萨勒曼，华盛顿将向沙特阿拉伯提供情报和目标定位支持。
该消息人士还证实，美国中央司令部司令布拉德·库珀上将已前往沙特阿拉伯进行协调会谈。
白宫未回应福克斯新闻数字频道就此次通话或是否考虑追加美国军事行动置评的请求。

此次局势汇合引发了同时向全球两个最重要的海上航道施压的可能性：伊朗扰乱霍尔木兹海峡的航运，而其胡塞武装盟友则加强在Bab al-Mandab海峡周边的阵地。
美国防卫民主基金会伊朗项目高级主任贝赫拉姆·本·塔布卢向福克斯新闻数字频道表示，这一态势反映了德黑兰试图在霍尔木兹海峡周边压力变化之际恢复影响力。
“特朗普在击退伊朗在霍尔木兹海峡和波斯湾的海上威胁方面取得的成功，让该政权失去了原有的海上影响力，如今它正试图加大对胡塞武装的支持，而胡塞武装此前已证明能够影响红海航运和Bab al-Mandab海峡，”本·塔布卢说道。
“随着德黑兰在霍尔木兹海峡失去影响力，它正试图一手挥舞匕首，一手伸出握手：与阿拉伯国家开展外交，同时通过胡塞武装的攻势从背后捅刀，”他补充道。
伊朗呼吁胡塞武装准备切断红海航道——该恐怖组织能做到吗？

此次最新推进是在胡塞武装于周四夺取战略红海港口摩卡之后，该港口此前由与也门国际公认政府结盟的武装力量控制。
美国前也门问题特别代表蒂莫西·伦德金周五表示，自2022年联合国斡旋停火以来，胡塞武装用了数年时间重建军事实力，如今正利用这场更广泛的伊朗冲突加大对沙特阿拉伯的施压。
在一次非公开的中东研究所虚拟简报会上，伦德金表示，2022年4月的停火基本上让也门内战暂停，但也“确实让胡塞武装得以重整军备、重新训练、重整装备、补充物资”。
“他们极具创业精神，利用一切机会提升自身能力，测试作战实力，如今他们已是整个中东地区最具杀伤力的非国家行为体，”伦德金说道。
伦德金将此次新一轮升级部分归咎于今年夏天早些时候伊朗马汉航空飞往萨那的航班，他表示这些航班运送了支持胡塞武装作战行动的人员和装备，并称这些人员来自伊朗，“很可能是伊斯兰革命卫队成员”。

伦德金表示，胡塞武装如今正利用与伊朗的更广泛冲突来加大对利雅得的施压。
“他们抓住了这次机会，将各种行动结合起来，对也门政府特别是沙特阿拉伯施加了巨大压力，”他说道。
周四，一位特朗普政府高级官员向福克斯新闻数字频道表示：“美国专注于保护我们的核心国家安全利益——例如确保红海的航行自由——同时授权我们的地区伙伴牵头管理和解决地区安全挑战。我们一直在与沙特阿拉伯和也门共和国政府就地区稳定进行持续对话。”
风险远远超出也门范围。
Bab al-Mandab海峡最窄处仅约18英里，是苏伊士运河的南部门户。据路透社援引Kpler的数据，6月份约7%的全球石油产量通过该海峡。航道中断可能迫使船只绕行非洲好望角，大幅增加航行时间和成本。
路透社周五报道称，周四仅有7艘船只通过霍尔木兹海峡，而战前日均通过量为125艘，突显了该地区另一关键海上咽喉要道已面临的压力。
专家警告：若胡塞武装重启红海攻势，战斗或“全面升级”

本·塔布卢表示，胡塞武装的推进速度暴露了沙特领导的遏制该组织行动中的漏洞。
“美国应该帮助沙特阿拉伯阻止胡塞武装的推进，”他说道。“例如，沙特无法阻止胡塞武装夺取战略港口城市摩卡，这对未来可能发生的情况并非好兆头。”
欧洲和平研究所高级也门顾问希沙姆·奥迈西周四向福克斯新闻数字频道表示，危险不止于被占领的领土。他说，撤退的政府军留下了军事装备，可能会增强胡塞武装在其他战线的实力。
“人们的注意力都集中在夺取摩卡和红海沿岸的前哨基地上，”奥迈西说道。“但军事方面的情况非常糟糕，特别是那些军事营地中的装备、弹药、车辆和无人机，他们现在可以转而利用这些装备对付其他地方的政府军。”

这些事态发展标志着自2022年停火后相对平静局面的戏剧性逆转，也让华盛顿及其地区盟友面临一个日益严峻的问题：在美国军队仍专注于伊朗和霍尔木兹海峡的情况下，能否在不开启另一场美国直接军事前线的情况下遏制胡塞武装的推进。

Saudi Arabia is urging Washington to take direct military action against Iran-backed Houthis, Fox News Digital learned after the terrorist group seized key positions along Yemen’s Bab al-Mandab Strait on Friday.
The dramatic strengthening of Houthi’s positioning along the coastline of Yemen is in one of the world’s most important shipping choke points — a narrow passage that links the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden, which has been used as a bypass as the Iran war continues to severely disrupt shipping, especially of oil, through the Strait of Hormuz.
The rapid advance on Friday triggered urgent discussions at the highest levels in Riyadh and Washington, and a source familiar with the matter tells Fox News Digital that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged President Donald Trump to take military action against the Houthis.
NEW RISK FOR U.S. CONSUMERS AS IRAN-BACKED ATTACKS THREATEN A SECOND MAJOR OIL CHOKEPOINT

The Houthis reached the strategic island of Mayyun, also known as Perim, after Yemeni government forces withdrew and also took the mainland coastal town of Dhubab, four Yemeni government sources told Reuters on Friday.
Fox News Digital independently confirmed key elements of an Axios report with a source familiar with the matter, who said the crown prince spoke with Trump a few times over the past 24 hours about the escalating situation in Yemen.
The U.S. does not want to take direct military action for now, but Trump told bin Salman that Washington would assist Saudi Arabia with intelligence and targeting support, according to the source.
The source also confirmed that U.S. Central Command commander Adm. Brad Cooper traveled to Saudi Arabia for coordination talks.
The White House did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on the calls or whether additional U.S. military action is under consideration.
IRAN’S BIGGEST WEAPON AGAINST THE U.S. MAY BE SLIPPING AWAY, EXPERTS SAY

The convergence raises the prospect of simultaneous pressure on two of the world’s most consequential maritime arteries: Iran disrupting traffic through Hormuz while its Houthi allies strengthen their position around Bab al-Mandab.
Behnam Ben Taleblu, senior director of the Iran program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital that the shift reflects Tehran’s effort to recover leverage as pressure around Hormuz changes.
“Trump’s success in pushing back on Iran’s maritime threat in the Strait of Hormuz and Persian Gulf has made the regime lose the maritime leverage it had, and now it is looking to double down on the Houthis who have proven to be able to impact Red Sea shipping and the Bab al-Mandab Strait in the past,” Ben Taleblu said.
“As Tehran loses leverage in the Strait of Hormuz, it is trying to wield a knife and a handshake at once: diplomacy with Arab states and a knife in the back via the Houthi offensive,” he added.
IRAN CALLS ON HOUTHIS TO PREPARE TO CUT OFF RED SEA GATEWAY — CAN THE TERROR GROUP DO IT?

The latest advance follows the Houthis’ capture Thursday of the strategic Red Sea port of Mocha, which was previously held by forces aligned with Yemen’s internationally recognized government.
Former U.S. special envoy for Yemen Timothy Lenderking said Friday that the Houthis had spent the years since the 2022 U.N.-brokered truce rebuilding their military strength and are now exploiting the broader Iran conflict to increase pressure on Saudi Arabia.
Speaking during an on-the-record Middle East Institute virtual briefing, Lenderking said the April 2022 truce largely put Yemen’s civil war on pause but also “did allow the Houthis to regroup, retrain, refit, restock.”
“They’re extremely entrepreneurial. They use every opportunity to build their capability, to test their capabilities, such that they are now the most lethal non-state actor in the entire Middle East,” Lenderking said.
Lenderking traced the latest round of escalation in part to Iranian Mahan Air flights into Sanaa earlier this summer, which he said brought personnel and equipment intended to support the Houthi war effort, adding that the personnel were from Iran and were “probably IRGC members.”
IRAN-BACKED HOUTHI THREAT IN RED SEA COULD LEAD TO MAJOR U.S. POLICY SHIFT, ANALYSTS SAY

Lenderking said the Houthis are now taking advantage of the wider conflict with Iran to increase their leverage over Riyadh.
“They’ve seized this opportunity, bringing these various lines of effort together, to put a great deal of pressure on the Yemen government and the Saudis specifically,” he said.
On Thursday, a senior Trump administration official told Fox News Digital: “The United States is focused on protecting our core national security interests — such as ensuring freedom of navigation in the Red Sea — while empowering our regional partners to take the lead in managing and resolving regional security challenges. We are in continuous dialogue with Saudi Arabia and the Republic of Yemen Government regarding regional stability.”
The stakes extend well beyond Yemen.
The Bab al-Mandab is only about 18 miles wide at its narrowest point and serves as the southern gateway to the Suez Canal. About 7% of global oil output passed through the strait in June, according to Kpler data cited by Reuters. Disruption can force ships to reroute around Africa’s Cape of Good Hope, adding significant time and cost to voyages.
Reuters reported Friday that only seven vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, compared with a prewar daily average of 125, underscoring the pressure already facing the region’s other critical maritime choke point.
EXPERT WARNS OF ‘GENERAL ESCALATION’ OF FIGHTING IF HOUTHIS RESUME RED SEA CAMPAIGN

Ben Taleblu said the speed of the Houthi advance exposed vulnerabilities in the Saudi-led effort to contain the group.
“The U.S. should help the Saudis stymie the Houthi advance,” he said. “The inability of the Saudis to prevent the Houthis from taking the strategic port city of Mocha, for example, does not bode well for what may come.”
Hisham Al-Omeisy, senior Yemen adviser at the European Institute of Peace, told Fox News Digital on Thursday that the danger extends beyond the territory captured. Retreating government forces, he said, left behind military equipment that could strengthen the Houthis on other fronts.
“People are focused on taking Mocha and those outposts on the Red Sea,” Al-Omeisy said. “But the military side is terrible, particularly the equipment, the munitions, the vehicles, the drones that were at those military camps, which they can now, in turn, use against the government forces elsewhere.”

The developments mark a dramatic reversal from the relative calm that followed the 2022 truce and leave Washington and its regional allies confronting a growing question: whether the Houthi advance can be contained without opening another direct U.S. military front as American forces remain focused on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
