美国军方周一驳斥了伊朗指挥官关于德黑兰对霍尔木兹海峡和海湾海上交通拥有控制权的主张。
The US military on Monday rejected an Iranian commander's claim that Tehran maintains operational control over maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf.
美国中央司令部（CENTCOM）在社交媒体上表示，伊朗没有海军，因为美国军队已经将其摧毁。
"Iran has no navy because American forces sank it," US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on US social media company The command maintained that Tehran exercises no authority over the vital chokepoint, saying thousands of commercial vessels had passed through and more than 1 billion barrels of crude had transited in recent months.
该司令部强调，德黑兰对该重要通道没有任何控制权，并指出近几个月有数千艘商船通过该海峡，超过10亿桶原油在此运输。
The statement came after Iranian state media cited Army Chief of Staff and Deputy Coordinator Rear Adm. Habibollah Sayyari as saying that naval forces under the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps exercise full control over the waterway and the Gulf.
此前，伊朗官方媒体援引陆军参谋长兼副协调员哈比布拉·萨亚里的话称，伊斯兰革命卫队的海军部队完全控制着这一水道和海湾。萨亚里警告称，伊朗军队将不允许任何海上航行。
Sayyari asserted that the army's naval forces oversee the eastern approach into the Indian Ocean, warning that the forces would not permit maritime transit.
在始于2月底的美国和以色列大规模打击的为期七个月的伊朗战争期间，两国一直就这一关键通道的封锁问题相互指责。
Both nations have traded accusations over blockades in the vital corridor amid the seven-month Iran war that began with large-scale strikes by the US and Israel in late February.
