The ruling House of Saud, legitimised by the kingdom’s absolutist strain of Wahhabi Islam, hadwatched in appalled paralysis as Iran and its proxies exploited the mayhem unleashed acrossArab lands — from the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 to the Arab spring after 2011 — toforge a Shia axis from Baghdad to Beirut.
在伊朗及其代理人利用阿拉伯地区的混乱局势——从2003年美国牵头入侵伊拉克到2011年之后的“阿拉伯之春运动——缔结从巴格达到贝鲁特的什叶派轴心联盟之际,伊斯兰瓦哈比专制教派支持的沙特王室感到极度的震惊,并且没有还手之力。
In March the Saudis launched an air war in Yemen, claiming Iran was behind an attempt by ShiaHouthi fighters to overrun the country. Three months of futile and indiscriminate bombinglater, this multi-sided contest for a failed state is no closer to resolution. The Saudis, whohave never managed to do much about their ungovernable southern neighbours except bribea varying combination of tribes, know full well that Tehran has played little more than aperipheral role in their recent protagonism. The war in Yemen is more a signal of deepunhappiness at the deal the US and world powers have struck with Iran over its nuclearprogramme. The bombing started in late March just as the two sides worked on a frameworkagreement in Lausanne.
今年3月,沙特对也门发动了空袭,并宣称伊朗是什叶派胡塞(Houthi)武装分子肆虐也门的幕后主使。在经过3个月毫无成效的狂轰乱炸之后,这种多方参与的对一个失败国家的争夺仍毫无解决之计。沙特人除了贿赂诸多部落以外,从未对他们难以控制的南部邻国有过多少作为,他们清楚地知道,德黑兰在他们最近的重要行动中只不过扮演着次要角色。也门战争更多地表明,沙特对美国及其他强国与伊朗签署核协议感到极度不满。空袭也门开始于今年3月底,当时正是美伊双方在瑞士洛桑准备签署框架协议之际。
