美国中央司令部（CENTCOM）称，尽管伊朗试图控制这一关键水道，但自6月以来，美军已协助海湾国家出口了超过15亿桶石油。
US military forces have helped Gulf countries export more than 1.5 billion barrels of oil since June, despite Iran’s efforts to control the critical waterway, according to US Central Command (COMMAND).
该美军指挥部周日表示，在过去六个月里，在其支持下，已有超过3000艘商船通过霍尔木兹海峡。
The US military command said on Sunday that more than 3,000 commercial vessels had transited the Strait of Hormuz with its support over the past six months.
该司令部补充称，尽管面临伊朗威胁，近几个月来，通过该航道的船只中超过95%安全航行，“清楚地表明美国和地区合作伙伴控制着这条国际水道”。
It added that more than 95 percent of ships navigating the channel had sailed through safely in recent months despite Iranian threats, “clearly demonstrating that the United States and regional partners control the international waterway”.
中央司令部在司令布拉德·库珀海军上将访问该地区之际公布了上述数据。访问期间，他乘坐美军直升机飞越海峡，观察了“当前的作战环境”。
CENTCOM announced the figures as Commander Admiral Brad Cooper made a visit to the region, during which he observed the “current operational environment” in the strait while flying in a US Army helicopter.
库珀在一份声明中说：“我们将继续与海湾合作伙伴和航运业并肩站在一起。”
“We continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with our Gulf partners and the shipping industry,” Cooper said in a statement.
“此次访问凸显了我们对维护霍尔木兹海峡航行自由的坚定承诺。”库珀表示，由于执行清雷行动的人员付出了“难以置信的努力”，海峡内船只的主要通航航线已无伊朗水雷。
“This visit underscores our strong commitment to continued freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.”Cooper said the primary transit routes for vessels in the strait were free of Iranian mines due to the “incredible efforts” of personnel who conduct mine clearance operations.
他说：“在与美国跨部门团队、海湾合作委员会和航运业的同事合作时，我们依然高度专注于保持商业航运畅通。”
“We remain intensely focused on keeping commercial traffic flowing as we work with our teammates in the US interagency, Gulf Cooperation Council, and shipping industry,” he said.
尽管伊朗武力持续威胁攻击商船，但原油出货量已基本恢复至美国和以色列于2月底发动对伊战争前的水平。
Crude oil flows have largely returned to levels seen before the US and Israel launched their war on Iran in late February, despite the ongoing threat of attacks on commercial vessels by Iranian forces.
据市场情报公司Kpler统计，9月份每天至少有1650万桶石油离开该地区，若不计伊朗，这一数字等同于战前平均水平。
At least 16.5 million barrels of oil per day left the region in September, equal to the pre-war average, excluding Iran, according to market intelligence firm Kpler.
分析师将这一反弹归因于多种因素的综合作用，包括海上船对船转运、美军护航以及石油管道使用量的增加。然而，油价仍远高于战争爆发前的水平。
Analysts have attributed the rebound to a combination of offshore ship-to-ship transfers, US military escorts, and increased use of oil pipelines. However, oil prices remain far higher than before the start of the war.
