Gulf states have postponed(推迟) a critical meeting with Iran on the future of the strait of Hormuz(霍尔木兹海峡) owing to a lack of Arab consensus(共识) and growing Saudi Arabian anger with Tehran for helping the Houthis loosen Riyadh’s grip(削弱利雅得的控制) in Yemen.
由于阿拉伯国家缺乏共识，加之沙特对伊朗协助胡塞武装削弱利雅得在也门的控制日益愤怒，海湾国家推迟了与伊朗就霍尔木兹海峡未来安排举行的一场关键会议。
The stalemate(僵局) over the vital waterway came as Houthi rebels launched a fresh barrage(密集攻击) of missile and drone attacks on Saudi military targets. A Houthi military spokesperson claimed its forces had attacked the King Khalid airbase(哈立德国王空军基地) in Khamis Mushait, hitting fighter-jet hangars(机库), radar systems, runways and landing strips, ammunition depots(仓库) and additional targets.
围绕这条重要水道的僵局出现之际，胡塞武装对沙特军事目标发动了新一轮导弹和无人机袭击。胡塞武装一名军方发言人声称，其部队袭击了位于海米斯穆谢特的哈立德国王空军基地，击中战斗机机库、雷达系统、跑道和简易机场、弹药库及其他目标。
Last week, Tehran-backed militias in Iraq forced Saudi Arabia to close a critical east-west pipeline that had been acting as a means for Riyadh to export oil after Iran effectively closed the strait of Hormuz.(上周，伊朗支持的伊拉克民兵迫使沙特关闭了一条关键的东—西向输油管道，该管道在伊朗事实上封锁霍尔木兹海峡后一直是利雅得出口石油的通道。)
