At least two vessels were struck over the weekend in waters near Oman and Iran, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations reported, as Tehran reiterated its position on Sunday that the Strait of Hormuz would not reopen unless its conditions for ending the war with the U.S. are met.
英国海事贸易行动办公室(UKMTO)是一项英国海上安全警报服务,周六表示收到报告,一艘原油油轮在阿曼以东四海里处被不明飞行物击中。该办公室称,周日另一艘油轮在霍尔木兹海峡遭遇类似袭击,导致其机舱受损。
On Saturday, the UKMTO, a British maritime security alert service, said it received a report of a crude oil tanker being hit by an unknown projectile four nautical miles east of Oman. It said another tanker was reported as being similarly struck Sunday in the Strait of Hormuz, causing damage to its engine room.
在美以主导的战争于2月28日爆发前,全球约五分之一的石油供应通过该海峡运输。数周来,该海峡的航运袭击事件频发。
Attacks on shipping in the strait, through which about a fifth of the world's oil supplies moved before the start of the U.S. and Israel-led war on Feb. 28, have been happening on a regular basis for weeks. "The Strait of Hormuz will not open until Iran's seven conditions based on the Islamabad Memorandum are met, and Iran will not regulate its national security with tweets from American officials," Iranian state media agency Nour News quoted parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf as saying Sunday.
伊朗官方媒体努尔新闻社周日援引议会议长穆罕默德·巴盖尔·卡利巴夫的话说:“除非满足基于《伊斯兰堡备忘录》的伊朗七项条件,否则霍尔木兹海峡不会开放,伊朗也不会根据美国官员的推文来调节其国家安全。”
President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed an interim deal in June, known as the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, that resulted in a brief hiatus in fighting.
唐纳德·特朗普总统和伊朗总统马苏德·佩泽希齐扬于6月签署了一项临时协议,即《伊斯兰堡谅解备忘录》,使战斗一度暂停。
Tehran's conditions for allowing ships to proceed freely through the Strait of Hormuz include a halt to U.S. "acts of aggression," an end to the U.S. naval blockade of its ports and economic warfare, and the release of Iranian assets.
德黑兰允许船只自由通过霍尔木兹海峡的条件包括:停止美国的“侵略行为”,结束美国对其港口的海上封锁和经济战,以及释放伊朗资产。美国的一项关键要求是伊朗拆除其核武器计划。与此同时,据报道沙特阿拉伯的能源基础设施再次遭到袭击。
A key demand of the U.S. has been that Iran dismantle its nuclear weapons program. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's energy infrastructure reportedly came under renewed attacks. Reuters reported Saturday that Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis said they had targeted a facility owned by Saudi Arabian oil giant Aramco in the capital Riyadh with ballistic missiles and drones.
路透社周六报道称,与伊朗结盟的也门胡塞武装宣称,他们使用弹道导弹和无人机袭击了位于首都利雅得的沙特阿美石油公司设施。该组织称此次袭击是对沙特方面轰炸也门萨那及其他省份的报复。
The group said the attack was in retaliation for Saudi attacks on Yemen's Sanaa and other provinces. A large plume of smoke and fire rose above the facility, Reuters quoted a witness as saying.
据路透社援引一名目击者的话称,袭击发生后,大量浓烟与火焰从该设施上空升腾而起。
Saudi authorities have not commented on the reported attack.
目前沙特当局尚未对此次袭击传闻作出回应。阿美石油公司也未立即回复CNBC的邮件询问。如果袭击属实,这将是伊朗战争在也门战线的最新升级事件。部分投资者预计中东地区将重新爆发全面战争。
Aramco did not immediately respond to CNBC's emailed request for comment. If confirmed, it would be the latest escalation in what has effectively become a second front in the Iran war. Some investors say they expect full-scale fighting to resume in the Middle East. "The situation is fluid and volatile.
“当前局势瞬息万变且极不稳定。在我看来,随着事态发展,问题不在于冲突是否会重燃,而在于何时会全面爆发,”阿尔赛夫咨询公司创始人兼总裁巴德尔·阿尔赛夫在周五接受CNBC《中东观察》节目采访时说道。
To me, as we are developing and looking at the situation, it's not a question of if, but when the conflict resumes full force," Bader Al-Saif, founding president of Al-Saif Consulting, told CNBC's Access Middle East show on Friday.
近期持续不断的袭击事件以及局势进一步升级的可能性推高了能源价格,进而提升了全球通胀预期,也给各国政府借贷成本带来上行压力。
The ongoing attacks and prospect of a further escalation have driven energy prices higher in recent weeks, raising inflation expectations globally and putting upward pressure on government borrowing costs.
此前有报道称美国将向中东派遣第三支航母战斗群,并派出搭载2000名海军陆战队员的两栖作战部队,这一消息推动周四原油价格上涨。不过周五,七国集团宣布释放柴油与原油储备以缓解消费者负担后,油价出现小幅回落。
Reports that the U.S. is sending a third aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East, along with an amphibious force carrying 2,000 Marines, pushed crude oil prices higher on Thursday. But prices edged lower Friday, after the Group of Seven nations announced the release of diesel and crude stocks to ease the burden on consumers.
