伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队周五警告称，任何违反伊朗规定并试图通过霍尔木兹海峡的船只都将受到“惩罚”。据伊朗官方媒体报道，此前伊朗海军声称曾对一艘试图非法通过这一战略水道的液化石油气运输船实施打击。伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队海军称，该运输船在遭袭后起火。与此同时，据路透社报道，英国海上贸易事务办公室称，一艘船只于阿联酋阿尔杰扎拉以西约13海里处遭到不明物体击中，导致起火，随后火势被扑灭。目前尚不清楚这两起事件是否存在关联。
Vessels violating Iran's rules and passing through the Strait of Hormuz would be “punished”, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned on Friday. This came after the Iranian navy claimed to have targeted a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tanker attempting to pass through the strategic waterway illegally, Iranian state media reported. The IRGC Navy said the tanker saw a massive fire following the attack. At the same time, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said a vessel was struck by an unknown projectile about 13 nautical miles west of Al Jazeera in the United Arab Emirates, causing a fire that was subsequently extinguished, Reuters reported. It is unclear it the two incidents are connected.
伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队海军政治副指挥官阿里·穆罕默迪表示，自战争爆发以来，伊朗军队每晚都在霍尔木兹海峡开展行动以维护国家利益。“从战争开始至今的每个夜晚，伊斯兰革命卫队海军都在执行这些任务，以保护国家利益，”穆罕默迪对法尔斯通讯社说道。
Ali Mohammadi, the IRGC Navy’s political deputy, said Iranian forces had been conducting nightly operations in the Strait of Hormuz since the beginning of the war to protect the country’s interests.“Every night, from the beginning of the war until now, the IRGC Navy has carried out these operations to protect the country’s interests,” Mohammadi told the Fars news agency.
为何油价飙升至104美元以上？霍尔木兹海峡遇袭及飓风“伊萨亚斯”引发供应担忧穆罕默迪称，自战争首日起，伊斯兰革命卫队海军便对该水道实施了“全面且绝对的监视”，并称其部队有权对任何被认为违反规定的船只施加管控。伊朗为何针对霍尔木兹海峡上的船只？
Why are oil prices surging above $104? Hormuz attacks and Hurricane Isaias raise supply fearsHe claimed that the IRGC Navy had maintained “complete and absolute surveillance” over the waterway since the first day of the war, adding that its forces could “impose its will” on vessels they deemed to have violated their rules. Why Iran is targeting ships in the HormuzThis come amid an almost eight-month confrontation over control of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route connecting the Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.
当前，围绕霍尔木兹海峡控制权的对抗已持续近八个月。该海峡是连接波斯湾、阿曼湾及阿拉伯海的重要航运通道。冲突始于2月28日，当时美以两国在未受挑衅的情况下轰炸伊朗并暗杀其最高领袖。作为报复，德黑兰对美军在波斯湾的基地发动袭击，并封锁了霍尔木兹海峡。
It began on February 28 when the US and Israel bombed Iran unprovoked and assassinated their Supreme leader. Tehran, in retaliation, struck US bases in the Gulf and shut off the Strait of Hormuz.
自那时起，油价便一路飙升。霍尔木兹海峡如今已成为各方争夺的焦点：德黑兰试图掌控海峡内的海上交通，而华盛顿则力促商业航运恢复正常。霍尔木兹海峡：印度籍船员在商船遭炮击后受伤战前，全球约五分之一的石油及液化天然气运输均需经由该海峡。航运受阻不仅影响了能源供应，还推高了运输与保险成本，加剧了全球石油市场的波动。
Oil prices have skyrocketed since. The strait has become a major point of contention, with Tehran seeking to maintain control over maritime traffic while Washington pushes for the resumption of commercial shipping.11 Indian crew injured after merchant vessel hit by projectile in Strait of HormuzBefore the war, roughly one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments passed through the strait. Disruptions to shipping have consequently affected energy supplies, raised transportation and insurance costs and increased volatility in global oil markets.
伊朗还反对在阿曼一侧开辟替代航运路线的尝试，坚持要求船只必须沿其认定的合法航线航行。据路透社援引官员消息称，德黑兰已警告地区国家：任何试图开辟替代石油出口路线的行为都将被视为敌对举动。
Iran has also objected to efforts to establish alternative shipping routes closer to the Omani side of the waterway, insisting that vessels follow routes it considers authorised. Tehran has warned regional countries that attempts to establish alternative oil-export routes would be considered hostile, according to officials cited by Reuters.
据路透社报道，根据三家海事安全机构提供的数据，9月28日至10月5日期间，霍尔木兹海峡周边至少发生了12起针对石油、液化天然气及液化石油气运输船的袭击事件。这一数字为战争爆发以来的单周最高纪录。这些事件包括实际袭击、未遂袭击以及各类骚扰行为，如无人机低空飞行、监视活动及向船只发送无线电警告等。
Tanker attacks hit highest weekly level since war beganAt least 12 attacks on oil, liquefied natural gas and LPG tankers were recorded around the Strait of Hormuz between September 28 and October 5, based on data from three maritime security sources, Reuters reported. This was the highest weekly tally since the war began. The incidents included attacks, attempted attacks and harassment, including drone overflights, surveillance and radio warnings to ships.3 years on, West Asia conflict widens, its costs mount: Number TheoryShipping traffic has also declined.
三年过去，西亚冲突持续升级，代价日益沉重：数字透视与此同时，海峡通行船只数量也显著减少。分析机构Kpler的数据显示，10月6日仅有7艘货运船只通过该海峡，创下两个多月来的单日最低纪录。另据路透社援引的数据，目前通过该海峡的原油日运输量较战争爆发时的峰值水平下降了27%，降至每日至少1010万桶。
Data from analytics firm Kpler showed that only seven commodity-carrying vessels passed through the strait on October 6, the lowest daily number in more than two months. Crude oil shipments through the waterway fell 27% from a wartime peak to at least 10.1 million barrels per day, according to data cited by Reuters.
