Houthi forces in Yemen are making a concerted(协同一致的) drive to take over the country’s Red Sea coast fully, claiming(宣称) control of the key port of Mocha in the most serious wave of fighting(最激烈的一轮战斗) with the Saudi-backed government in years, bringing the Iran-aligned(亲伊朗的) group closer to full control of a key shipping route.
也门胡塞武装正协同发力，力图全面接管该国红海沿岸，并宣称已控制重要港口摩卡。这是与沙特支持的政府军多年来最激烈的一轮战斗，使这个亲伊朗组织更接近完全控制一条关键航运路线。
Seizure(夺取) of the coast and some of the islands in the sea would be a strategic disaster(战略灾难) for Saudi Arabia and the US, taking Iran and its proxies(代理人) closer to full control of two choke points(咽喉要道) for western shipping on opposite sides of the Arabian peninsula: the Bab al-Mandab(曼德海峡) at the southern end of the Red Sea and the strait of Hormuz(霍尔木兹海峡) in the Gulf.
如果胡塞武装夺取沿岸及部分海上岛屿，对沙特阿拉伯和美国而言将是战略灾难，使伊朗及其代理人更接近完全控制阿拉伯半岛两侧的两个西方航运咽喉要道：红海南端的曼德海峡和波斯湾的霍尔木兹海峡。
Observers have said a reduction in hostilities – the most intense since the UN-sponsored ceasefire of April 2022 put an end to major military exchanges – now seems unlikely in what is seen as an attempt by the Houthis to open a second front in the Iran-US war, alongside the battle for control of Hormuz.(观察人士表示，目前看来敌对行动不太可能减少——这是自2022年4月联合国斡旋的停火结束主要军事交锋以来最激烈的冲突。人们认为，胡塞武装试图在伊朗与美国战争中开辟第二战线，与争夺霍尔木兹海峡控制权的战斗并行。)
