胡塞武装袭击沙特油轮，美伊紧张局势升级
胡塞武装在红海袭击沙特油轮，导致油价飙升。这一物流噩梦引发了唐纳德·特朗普总统对伊朗的严厉警告，将胡塞的行动归咎于伊朗。

受伊朗支持的胡塞武装于周二对沙特阿拉伯发动了数十枚弹道导弹和无人机袭击，击中多个能源目标，包括全球最大石油公司的设施。
袭击目标是沙特国家石油公司沙特阿美，该公司每日产油量达1000万桶。随着中东战争持续限制霍尔木兹海峡的航运，此次袭击可能加剧第二条关键石油航道的供应压力。
值得注意的是，沙特阿美的石油供应量约占全球总需求的10%。对其设施的袭击增加了石油、航运和运输成本上涨的风险，可能在未来几个月冲击美国消费者——而这恰逢2026年中期选举。

据沙特官员称，袭击袭击了沙特阿拉伯南部城市吉赞、奈季兰、艾卜哈和哈米斯穆赛特，造成73人受伤，并在能源设施和公用事业设施引发火灾，迫使部分运营暂时暂停。据美联社报道，吉赞工厂包括一座每日可加工约40万桶原油的炼油厂。
周二的袭击发生在全球能源市场格外脆弱的时刻。随着霍尔木兹海峡的石油流量大幅减少，沙特阿拉伯已将更多原油改道运往红海——这提升了曼德海峡的重要性，而胡塞武装此前已威胁并袭击了与沙特有关的航运。
美国能源信息署（EIA）估计，2026年第二季度，每日仅有490万桶石油和石油液体通过霍尔木兹海峡，低于冲突前的每日2160万桶。冲突前，全球20%的石油通过这条重要航道运输。
与此同时，由于沙特阿拉伯为绕过霍尔木兹海峡的持续冲突而转移了更多原油，该季度通过曼德海峡的货运量平均为每日810万桶。
这造成了潜在的高成本漏洞：胡塞武装对沙特能源基础设施或商业船只的新一轮袭击可能同时对两条关键石油航道施加压力，推高原油、航运和运输成本，最终波及美国消费者。
周二，布伦特原油交易价格接近每桶99美元。
据新华社报道，胡塞武装军事发言人叶海亚·萨里宣称对周二的袭击负责，称该组织使用了“数十枚弹道导弹和无人机”袭击了沙特阿美的设施、吉赞工业区以及一个沙特空军基地。

胡塞武装称此次行动是对沙特在也门空袭的报复，并威胁称如果利雅得的军事行动持续下去，将发动“更猛烈、范围更广的袭击”。
此次升级之际，唐纳德·特朗普总统已发出警告。

胡塞武装于7月在红海袭击两艘沙特油轮后，特朗普表示，如果胡塞武装再次袭击船只，美国将追究伊朗的责任，并威胁对德黑兰和胡塞武装实施“重大军事惩罚”。
“如果他们再次这么做，美国将追究伊朗的责任，因为胡塞武装是伊朗的代理人和/或傀儡，我们将对伊朗，当然还有胡塞武装本身，实施重大军事惩罚，”特朗普当时在Truth Social上写道。
此前，胡塞武装宣布对沙特阿拉伯实施海上封锁，并袭击了红海的沙特油轮。此次升级导致布伦特原油价格突破每桶100美元，市场担忧 disruption可能从霍尔木兹海峡蔓延至曼德海峡。
最新的袭击针对沙特领土和能源基础设施，而非船只，目前尚不清楚白宫是否认为此次袭击越过了特朗普7月划定的红线。随着胡塞武装的袭击日益与伊朗及地区能源供应的更广泛冲突交织在一起，这对拜登政府构成了新的考验。
特朗普政府此前曾授权美国对也门的胡塞武装武器和基础设施发动空袭，以回应针对美军和航运的袭击和威胁。白宫一份报告称，特朗普下令采取这些行动是为了保卫美军和保护美国的国家安全利益。
美国海事管理局（MARAD）也发布了积极的咨询警告，称胡塞武装继续对红海南部、曼德海峡和亚丁湾的商业船只构成威胁。
根据MARAD的咨询报告，从2023年11月到2025年10月，胡塞武装对商业船只发动了100多次袭击，影响了60多个国家。这些袭击迫使主要航运公司避开红海，改道绕行好望角，增加了航行时间，并推高了燃料、运费和保险成本。
胡塞武装于7月再次发出威胁，袭击了沙特油轮，并威胁封锁通过红海的沙特航运。
沙特阿拉伯对该航道的依赖度增加，使得另一次持续中断可能带来更严重的后果。EIA表示，用于绕过受干扰航道的替代航线更长、成本更高，且运力有限。

就在伊朗冲突使得波斯湾航道更难使用之际，最新的袭击威胁再次给红海航道带来压力。胡塞武装可能没有能力永久关闭曼德海峡，但如果航运公司认为风险过高，反复的导弹、无人机或油轮袭击仍可能减少通过该航道的货运量。
沙特阿拉伯谴责周二对民用和经济资产的袭击，并誓言保卫其领土。沙特领导的联军将此次袭击描述为“危险的升级”，并表示将采取措施威慑进一步的袭击。
直接的经济影响将取决于沙特阿拉伯恢复受影响运营的速度，以及商业航运是否继续通过曼德海峡。

下一个考验可能是胡塞武装是否会再次袭击油轮或其他商业船只。另一次袭击可能会给这条承载着越来越多中东石油份额的航道带来更大压力——同时也将考验特朗普的警告：如果胡塞武装再次袭击航运，美国将对该组织和伊朗实施报复。
New risk for US consumers as Iran-backed attacks threaten a second major oil chokepoint

Recent Houthi strikes threaten a waterway where 10% of the world’s oil demand has redirected amid the Hormuz bottleneck

Houthi forces target Saudi oil tankers, escalating US-Iran tensions
Houthi rebels attack Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, causing oil prices to surge. This logistical nightmare prompts strong warnings from President Donald Trump to Iran, holding them responsible for the Houthi actions.

Iran-backed Houthi rebels struck Saudi Arabia with dozens of ballistic missiles and drones Tuesday, hitting multiple energy targets, including the facilities of the world’s largest oil company.
The attacks on Aramco, the state-owned national oil company of Saudi Arabia that produces 10 million barrels of oil per day, threaten to tighten pressure on a second critical oil route as the Middle East war continues to restrict shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
Aramco notably supplies roughly 10% of the world’s total oil demand. And attacks on its facilities raise the risk of higher oil, shipping and transportation costs that could hit U.S. consumers in coming months — just in time for the 2026 midterm elections.
IRAN CALLS ON HOUTHIS TO PREPARE TO CUT OFF RED SEA GATEWAY — CAN THE TERROR GROUP DO IT?

The attacks hit the southern Saudi Arabian cities of Jazan, Najran, Abha and Khamis Mushait, wounding 73 people and sparking fires at energy facilities and utilities that temporarily forced some operations to stop, according to Saudi officials. The Jazan site includes a refinery capable of processing roughly 400,000 barrels of crude per day, according to the Associated Press.
Tuesday’s strikes land at a particularly vulnerable moment for global energy markets. With oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz sharply reduced, Saudi Arabia has redirected more crude toward the Red Sea — increasing the importance of the Bab el-Mandeb, where the Houthis have already threatened and attacked Saudi-linked shipping.
The Energy Information Administration estimates that just 4.9 million barrels of oil and petroleum liquids moved through Hormuz per day in the second quarter of 2026, down from 21.6 million barrels per day before the conflict. Before the conflict 20% of the world’s oil moved through the consequential waterway.
Traffic through the Bab el-Mandeb, meanwhile, averaged 8.1 million barrels per day during the quarter as Saudi Arabia redirected more crude to bypass Hormuz amid ongoing conflict.
That creates a potentially costly vulnerability: renewed Houthi attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure or commercial vessels could put pressure on two crucial oil routes at once, raising the risk of higher crude, shipping and transportation costs that could eventually reach U.S. consumers.
Brent crude was trading near $99 per barrel Tuesday.
Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s strikes, saying the group had used “dozens of ballistic missiles and drones” against Aramco facilities, the Jazan industrial zone and a Saudi air base, according to Xinhua.

The Houthis said the operation was retaliation for Saudi airstrikes in Yemen and threatened “stronger and wider strikes” if Riyadh’s military campaign continues.
The escalation also comes with a warning already issued by President Donald Trump.

After the Houthis struck two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea in July, Trump said the U.S. would hold Iran responsible if the group attacked ships again and threatened “major military punishment” against both Tehran and the Houthis.
“If they do this again, the U.S. will hold Iran responsible, in that the Houthis are a Surrogate and/or Proxy of Iran, and major military punishment will be inflicted upon Iran and, of course, the Houthis, themselves,” Trump wrote on Truth Social at the time.
The warning followed the Houthis’ announcement of a maritime blockade targeting Saudi Arabia and attacks on Saudi tankers in the Red Sea. The escalation sent Brent crude above $100 per barrel amid fears that disruption could spread from the Strait of Hormuz to the Bab el-Mandeb.
The latest strikes targeted Saudi territory and energy infrastructure rather than ships, leaving unclear whether the White House considers them to cross the line Trump drew in July. It creates a new test for the administration as Houthi attacks increasingly intersect with the wider conflict over Iran and regional energy supplies.
The Trump administration has previously authorized U.S. strikes against Houthi weapons and infrastructure in Yemen in response to attacks and threats against American forces and shipping. A White House report says Trump directed those actions to defend U.S. forces and protect American national-security interests.
The U.S. Maritime Administration also maintains an active advisory warning that the Houthis continue to pose a threat to commercial vessels in the southern Red Sea, the Bab el-Mandeb and the Gulf of Aden.
From November 2023 through October 2025, the Houthis carried out more than 100 attacks on commercial vessels affecting more than 60 nations, according to the MARAD advisory. The attacks forced major shipping companies to avoid the Red Sea and reroute vessels around the Cape of Good Hope, adding time to voyages and increasing fuel, freight and insurance costs.
The Houthis renewed that threat in July when they targeted Saudi oil tankers and threatened a blockade of Saudi shipping through the Red Sea.
Saudi Arabia’s increased reliance on the route makes another sustained disruption potentially more consequential. The EIA says alternate routes used to bypass disrupted waterways are longer, more expensive and limited in capacity.

The latest strikes threaten to revive pressure on the Red Sea route just as the Iran conflict has made the Persian Gulf route more difficult to use. The Houthis may lack the capability to permanently close the Bab el-Mandeb, but repeated missile, drone or tanker attacks could still reduce traffic through the waterway if shipping companies determine the risks are too high.
Saudi Arabia condemned Tuesday’s strikes on civilian and economic assets and vowed to defend its territory. The Saudi-led coalition described the attacks as a “dangerous escalation” and said it would take measures to deter further attacks.
The immediate economic impact will depend on how quickly Saudi Arabia restores affected operations and whether commercial shipping continues moving through the Bab el-Mandeb.

The next test could be whether the Houthis again target tankers or other commercial vessels. Another attack could put greater pressure on a waterway carrying an increased share of Middle Eastern oil — while also testing Trump’s warning that renewed Houthi attacks on shipping would bring U.S. retaliation against both the group and Iran.
