据伊朗国家媒体报道,周四一艘油轮在进入伊朗海军划定的“禁飞区”后起火;该油轮的追踪系统已被关闭。这是该地区24小时内发生的第二起类似事件。根据梅赫尔(Mehr)新闻社的报道,伊朗海军在霍尔木兹海峡东部海域巡逻的监测小组发现这艘油轮正在禁飞区内燃烧。目前尚不清楚该油轮的名称、所属国旗以及船员的状况,火灾的原因也不明。
An oil tanker caught fire in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday after entering what Iran's navy described as a prohibited zone with its tracking systems disabled, Iranian state-run media reported, the second such incident in the area in 24 hours. Iran's navy said monitoring teams patrolling the eastern sector of the Strait of Hormuz detected the tanker ablaze in the restricted area, according to a statement cited by the Mehr news agency. The name, flag and crew condition of the vessel were not immediately known, nor was the cause of the fire. On Wednesday, Iranian domestic media reported a fire on another tanker near the Strait of Hormuz after it also switched off its tracking equipment.
周三,伊朗国内媒体还报道称,在霍尔木兹海峡附近另一艘油轮上也发生了火灾,该油轮同样关闭了自己的追踪设备。这些事件发生在最近几天内同一海域又有两艘商船沉没之后:集装箱船“GFS Pride”在周三起火后沉没,所有21名船员均获救。伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队(IRGC)称该船撞上了海雷;而海事部门则认为火灾是由不明物体引发的。另一艘名为“Cape Dao”的货船此前也曾被不明物体击中,最终也沉没了,一名船员在最初的袭击中丧生。
The incidents follow the sinking of two commercial vessels in the same waters in recent days. The container ship GFS Pride sank on Wednesday after catching fire. All 21 crew members were rescued. The IRGC said the vessel struck a sea mine, while maritime sources cited an unidentified projectile.
社交媒体上流传的视频显示,霍尔木兹海峡附近的水域中有手机、奢侈品等货物漂浮在水面上,人们正用小船打捞这些物品。多家国际媒体都发布了这些视频,此外还有显示集装箱和残骸的影像,据称这些残骸也位于霍尔木兹海峡附近的海域。
The cargo ship Cape Dao, which had previously been struck by a projectile, also sank. One crew member was killed in the initial attack.
欧洲新闻台无法独立核实该消息的真实性。负责监管该地区美军行动的美国中央司令部截至发稿时尚未对周四发生的事件发表评论。德黑兰是否实施了扩大版的禁令?
Videos circulating on social media appeared to show cargo including mobile phones and luxury goods floating in the water near the Strait of Hormuz, with people in small boats collecting items. Multiple international media outlets published the footage, as well as separate footage of containers and debris in waters reportedly near the strait. Euronews could not independently verify its veracity.US Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversees US military operations in the region, had not commented on Thursday's incident as of publication.
今年9月,在伊朗最高国家安全委员会秘书穆森·雷扎伊发表相关言论后,伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队宣布将通往霍尔木兹海峡的海域设为禁入区。
Tehran's expanded ban in place?
伊斯兰革命卫队发言人侯赛因·莫比称,该禁入区涵盖了阿曼湾的部分海域以及通往霍尔木兹海峡沿线的阿拉伯海区域。
Iran's IRGC declared the waters leading to the Strait of Hormuz a prohibited zone in September, following remarks by Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council.IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohbi said the zone covered part of the Gulf of Oman and part of the Arabian Sea along the approach to the strait.
针对美国声称该航道仍对各国船只开放且处于美方控制之下的说法,伊斯兰革命卫队海军指挥官阿里·阿兹马伊回应称,德黑兰对霍尔木兹海峡实施“智能化管控”,所有试图通过该航道的船只都必须获得许可。
Ali Azmayi, commander of the IRGC naval force, said Tehran exercises "smart control" over the strait and that all vessels seeking to transit the route must obtain permission, in response to US statements that the waterway remains open and under Washington's control.
德黑兰方面还强调,任何违反相关规定的船只都将面临处罚。早在今年2月底美伊战争爆发之初,伊朗就曾宣布霍尔木兹海峡暂时关闭;随后美国也对该重要航道实施了海上封锁。
Tehran has said vessels violating the rules in the area face penalties. Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz closed in late February at the start of the war with the US, which Washington followed up with its own naval blockade of the key waterway.
