据报道,五角大楼此前一直隐瞒了一起伊朗袭击事件,该事件导致至少8名海军陆战队员受伤。
8 Marines Injured in Iran Attack That Was Kept Under Wraps by Pentagon: Report At least eight Marines were injured earlier this month when they were hit with an Iranian cruise missile in the Strait of Hormuz, an attack that the Pentagon had not previously disclosed, NBC News reported on Sunday night.
NBC新闻周日晚报道,本月早些时候,美军在霍尔木兹海峡遭到伊朗巡航导弹袭击,造成7名 enlisted 海军陆战队员和1名军官受伤。
The Sept. 14 assault on a ship in the strait left seven enlisted Marines and an officer injured, according to NBC News, citing three U.S. officials.
报告指出,遇袭时这些士兵并不在美军军舰上,目前尚不清楚船只类型及受伤程度,但相关人员最终已恢复执勤。报告称:“国防部未披露9月14日针对该地区美军的任何袭击。伊朗袭击及8名海军陆战队员的受伤细节此前从未被报道。”
The report noted that the troops were not on a U.S. Navy ship at the time of the strike, and it’s not known what kind of ship it was, nor the extent of the injuries for the service members, who eventually returned to duty.
当被问及此事时,五角大楼发言人将媒体引向中央司令部,但中央司令部未立即回应。
“The Defense Department did not disclose any Sept. 14 attacks against U.S. forces in the region,” the report went on. “The Iranian attack and details of the eight Marines’ injuries have not previously been reported.” When asked for comment on the attack, a spokesperson for the Pentagon referred Mediaite to Central Command. A message left with CENTCOM was not immediately returned.
9月14日至15日,中央司令部在社交媒体上发布了多段视频和照片,但未提及伊朗袭击。
CENTCOM posted several videos and photos to social media on September 14-15, but no mention of an Iranian strike.
周一,中央司令部发布了一份事实核查,驳斥伊朗革命卫队关于其“海军”控制霍尔木兹海峡的说法:“事实是:伊朗没有海军,因为美军将其击沉。
On Monday, CENTCOM posted a fact check about Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps claiming the regime’s “navy” has control of the Strait of Hormuz.
而且,仅在过去几个月里,就有数千艘船只和超过10亿桶石油自由通过霍尔木兹海峡,证明伊朗并不控制该海峡。”
“FACT: Iran has no navy because American forces sank it. And Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz as evidenced by the thousands of ships that have passed through freely along with more than 1 billion barrels of oil just over the past few months.”
NBC的报道发布几天前,伊朗曾提出开放海峡并恢复核计划谈判的计划,但特朗普表示拒绝,称“我们正取得巨大胜利”。
The NBC report comes days after Iran pitched a plan to open the strait and resume talks about its nuclear program, a proposal that Trump said he was rejecting because “we’re winning tremendously.”
