伊朗国家通讯社IRNA周二报道，伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）海军高级指挥官威胁称，若美军舰艇接近霍尔木兹海峡，伊朗将予以击沉。
A senior commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy threatened to sink US warships on Tuesday if they approach the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iran’s state news agency IRNA.
“我们正在等待美军舰艇接近霍尔木兹海峡入口，以便我们能够将其击沉，”伊朗革命卫队海军少将阿里·阿兹迈伊在电视讲话中表示，并补充说伊朗武装力量正在“倒计时”等待此次交锋。
“We are waiting for American warships to approach the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz so that we can sink them,” Rear Adm. Ali Azmaei said in televised remarks, adding that Iranian forces are “counting down” for the encounter.
阿兹迈伊声称，美军舰艇“不敢”接近这一战略水道，因为其脆弱性，称价值130亿美元的美国航空母舰已从海峡移开700公里（435英里）。
Azmaei claimed US warships “do not dare” approach the strategic waterway because of their vulnerability, saying a US aircraft carrier worth $13 billion had moved 700 kilometers (435 miles) from the strait.
“如果美国人想看霍尔木兹海峡是开放还是封闭，让他们进入海域看看谁控制它，”他说。
“If the Americans want to see whether the Strait of Hormuz is open or closed, let them enter the field and see who controls it,” he said.
阿兹迈伊还表示，伊朗武装力量已公布两起“违规舰船”被惩处的案例，并指责美国及其地区伙伴对这些事件实施媒体封锁。
Azmaei also said Iranian forces released information about two cases in which “violating vessels” were punished, accusing the US and its regional partners of maintaining a media blackout on the incidents.
他宣称霍尔木兹海峡和波斯湾处于伊朗革命卫队海军的控制之下，而伊朗常规海军则控制阿曼湾。
He claimed the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf are under the control of the IRGC Navy, while Iran’s regular navy controls the Gulf of Oman.
阿兹迈伊表示，伊朗革命卫队对霍尔木兹海峡实施“智能控制”，为往返伊朗的船只签发使用伊朗水域的许可证。他补充说，与战争初期相比，伊朗武装力量如今准备得更充分。
Azmaei said the IRGC exercises “smart control” over the Strait of Hormuz, issuing permits for vessels traveling to and from Iran to use Iranian waterways. He added that Iranian forces are better prepared now than they were at the beginning of the war.
霍尔木兹海峡及其周边地区的紧张局势在伊朗-美国冲突以及关于通过该战略水道航行的争议中持续居高不下。
Tensions in and around the Strait of Hormuz have remained high amid the Iran-US war and disputes about navigation through the strategic waterway.
德黑兰坚持认为其对霍尔木兹海峡伊朗水域的通行权拥有控制权，并警告航船不要使用其认为未获授权的航线，而华盛顿则坚持主张通过该水道的航行自由。最近在霍尔木兹海峡及其周边地区对商船的袭击进一步加剧了海上紧张局势。
Tehran maintains that it controls passage through Iranian waters in the strait and has warned vessels against using routes it considers unauthorized, while Washington has insisted on freedom of navigation through the waterway. Recent attacks on commercial vessels in and around the strait have further heightened maritime tensions.
