美国中央司令部（CENTCOM）周五否认了伊朗关于其伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）在霍尔木兹海峡摧毁一艘美国军用无人水面舰艇的说法。
The US military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) on Friday denied an Iranian claim that its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had destroyed an unmanned US military surface vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.
“中东地区所有美国军用无人水面舰艇都已登记在案，包括在霍尔木兹海峡巡逻、支援中央司令部防御层的一个先进无人艇中队。”美国中央司令部在美国社交媒体平台上表示。周五早些时候，伊朗海军表示，据伊朗官方通讯社（IRNA）发布的声明，它已摧毁一艘在海峡以东活动的“敌方无人船只”，但没有指明该船只或其操作者。
"All U.S. military unmanned surface vessels in the Middle East are accounted for, including a squadron of advanced sea drones on patrol in the Strait of Hormuz supporting CENTCOM's defensive layer," CENTCOM said on US social media company Earlier Friday, the Iranian Navy said it had destroyed an “enemy unmanned vessel” operating east of the strait, without identifying the vessel or its operator, according to a statement carried by the official IRNA news agency.
伊朗海军还表示，两艘油轮在航行至伊朗视为限制的区域后触发水雷并起火，而伊斯兰革命卫队海军则表示，已拦下两艘试图通过未经授权航线穿越海峡的油轮。
The Iranian Navy also said two tankers struck naval mines and caught fire after sailing in areas Iran considers restricted, while the IRGC Navy said it had stopped two tankers trying to transit the strait through unauthorized routes.
这些事件发生之际，伊朗与美国之间围绕霍尔木兹海峡（全球能源供应的关键通道）航行问题的紧张局势正在加剧。
The incidents come amid rising tensions between Iran and the US over navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global energy supplies.
