沙烏地阿拉伯對伊朗展開秘密攻擊——路透社

路透社報導,沙特阿拉伯在敘利亞戰爭期間對伊朗進行秘密襲擊。
neither Riyadh nor Tehran has officially acknowledged the attacks. Reuters could not independently confirm the targets or timing of the strikes, which would mark the first known direct Saudi military action on Iranian soil.

根據報導,皇家沙特空軍在3月底發動了“ numerous, unpublicized” attacks on Iran。一位 unnamed official described the strikes as tit-for-tat retaliation “for when Saudi [Arabia] was hit.”

消息來源告訴該媒體,沙特阿拉伯事先通知了伊朗,襲擊之後是緊張的外交活動以及 further retaliation 的威脅。 reportedly helped produce an informal de-escalation deal that brought the attacks to a halt.

該安排 reportedly took effect in the week before US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire in the US-Israeli war against Iran.

Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal reported that the United Arab Emirates also conducted covert strikes on Iran in retaliation for attacks on UAE infrastructure in early April, shortly before the ceasefire announcement.

Saudi Arabia and the UAE both host major US military bases and have long relied on Washington’s security umbrella. Both countries have repeatedly come under missile and drone attacks as Iran retaliated against the US-Israeli campaign launched in late February.

The UAE adopted a more hawkish tone, condemning the strikes on its territory as a dangerous escalation and asserting its “right to respond,” as well as largely freezing public diplomacy with Iran and closing its embassy in Tehran.

Saudi Arabia, however, has tried to keep the conflict from spiraling further, reportedly maintaining regular contact with Iranian officials, including Iran’s ambassador in Riyadh.

A recent New York Times report also claimed that Trump’s ‘Project Freedom’ – which involved military escorts for Western-flagged ships through the effectively blockaded Strait of Hormuz – was quietly scrapped two days after it was launched because Saudi Arabia refused to provide logistical support.

Analysts suggest that the Gulf states’ willingness to strike Iran themselves rather than relying on the US reflects growing frustration with Washington for leaving its regional partners exposed to Iranian retaliation and for lacking a long-term strategy.

”From the perspective of the Gulf states, it looks like the US is not prioritizing their security and basically threw the Gulf states under the bus,” Dania Thafer, the director of the Gulf International Forum, told the WSJ.
