伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）海军表示，伊朗武装力量对战略要地霍尔木兹海峡行使“完全且果断”的控制，驳回了美国官员关于该水道保持开放的言论。
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)’s Navy says Iranian forces exercise “complete and decisive” control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, rejecting statements by US officials that the waterway remains open.
伊斯兰革命卫队海军周五在一份声明中表示：“伊斯兰共和国武装力量对战略要地霍尔木兹海峡行使的控制是完全且果断的。”
“The control exercised by the Islamic Republic’s forces over the strategic Strait of Hormuz is complete and decisive,” the IRGC Navy said in a statement on Friday.
声明将美国官员关于霍尔木兹海峡处于开放状态的说法描述为“彻头彻尾的谎言”，称其意图“仅在于控制油价并掩盖他们自身的失败”。声明补充称，未经伊斯兰共和国事先协调寻求过境的船只，该海峡处于关闭状态。
It described US officials’ claims that the Strait of Hormuz is open as “an outright lie,” saying they were intended “solely to control oil prices and cover up their own defeats.”The strait is closed to vessels seeking to transit without prior coordination with the Islamic Republic, the statement added.
伊斯兰革命卫队海军表示，这种局面将持续到美国“恐怖军队”对伊斯兰共和国的侵略结束，以及相关义务得到履行之时。
The IRGC Navy said the situation would remain in place until the end of the United States’ “terrorist army’s aggression” against the Islamic Republic and until the relevant obligations had been fulfilled.
在2月28日美以发动最新一轮针对伊朗的无端侵略后，伊朗关闭了这一咽喉要道。
Iran closed the chokepoint following the launch of the latest bout of unprovoked American-Israeli aggression against the country on February 28.
伊朗与美国曾于6月在巴基斯坦斡旋的一份谅解备忘录框架下，同意重新开放为期60天，但美方的违规行为迫使德黑兰重新实施关闭。
The Islamic Republic and the United States agreed on a 60-day reopening period as part of a Pakistan-mediated memorandum of understanding in June, but American violations forced Tehran to reestablish the closure.
德黑兰将重新开放该水道的条件设定为实现若干前提，包括停止美国对地区海上交通的干涉。
Tehran has conditioned reopening of the waterway on realization of a number of prerequisites, including cessation of American interference in regional maritime traffic.
周二，伊朗外交部法律与国际事务副部长表示，诉求包括全面解除美国对伊斯兰共和国的非法经济封锁、在包括黎巴嫩在内的所有战线上持久停止侵略，以及澄清关于也门封锁局势的情况。
On Tuesday, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs said the demands include the complete lifting of the US’s illegal economic blockade against the Islamic Republic, durable cessation of aggression on all fronts, including Lebanon, and clarification of the situation concerning the blockade of Yemen.
格哈里巴迪将伊朗视角中该海峡地位的提升归因于美以发动无端侵略后发生的事态发展。“40天战争后，霍尔木兹海峡已成为伊朗国家安全事务，”他说。
Gharibabadi attributed the enhanced position of the strait in Iran’s view to the developments that took place following the launch of the unprovoked American-Israeli aggression. “Following the 40-day war, the Strait of Hormuz has become a matter of Iran’s national security,” he said.
这位官员显然是在指伊朗的对手及其盟友如何利用该水道满足其军事和经济需求，同时又以伊斯兰共和国为目标。
The official was apparently referring to how Iran’s adversaries and their allies would use the waterway to meet their military and economic needs at the same time as they were targeting the Islamic Republic.
