据伊朗官方媒体伊朗伊斯兰共和国通讯社报道，伊朗周五声称，其伊斯兰革命卫队利用先进的电子战系统，在霍尔木兹海峡的格什姆岛附近击落并俘获了一架美国无人机。
Iran claimed Friday that its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had downed and captured a US drone near Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz using advanced electronic warfare systems, according to the state-run IRNA news agency.
报道称，伊斯兰革命卫队航空航天部队数小时前在格什姆岛上空击落了这架MQM-170无人机。报道还称，这是伊斯兰革命卫队人员第二次完整俘获此类无人机。
The IRGC Aerospace Force brought down the MQM-170 drone over Qeshm Island several hours earlier, the report said. It added that this was the second time that IRGC personnel had captured such a drone intact.
周四，伊斯兰革命卫队海军声称，其通过一次电子战行动夺取了一架美国MQM-170无人机的控制权，并将其完整降落。
On Thursday, the IRGC Navy claimed it had seized control of a US MQM-170 drone in the western Strait of Hormuz through an electronic warfare operation and landed it intact.
伊朗媒体称，这架无人机被部署用于识别波斯湾沿岸和霍尔木兹海峡沿线的伊朗防空系统。
Iranian media said the drone had been deployed to identify Iranian air defense systems along the Gulf coast and the Strait of Hormuz.
美军否认了伊朗周四的说法，美国中央司令部发言人蒂姆·霍金斯上校驳斥了这一说法。
The US military rejected Thursday’s Iranian account, with US Central Command spokesman Capt. Tim Hawkins dismissing the claim.
另外，伊朗媒体周四报道称，伊斯兰革命卫队在霍尔木兹海峡附近拦截并摧毁了一架MQ-1无人机。
Separately, Thursday, Iranian media reported that the IRGC had intercepted and destroyed an MQ-1 drone near the Strait of Hormuz.
这些事态发展正值伊朗与美国围绕霍尔木兹海峡的紧张关系加剧之际。霍尔木兹海峡是全球能源运输的战略水道。
The developments come amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States over the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway for global energy shipments.
美国和以色列于2月28日对伊朗发动袭击，引发伊朗在整个地区的报复。
The US and Israel launched attacks on Iran on Feb. 28, triggering Iranian retaliation across the region.
尽管随后进行了外交努力，且华盛顿与德黑兰于6月签署了一份备忘录，但围绕安全安排和海峡航行问题的紧张局势持续存在。
Despite subsequent diplomatic efforts and a memorandum signed by Washington and Tehran in June, tensions have persisted over security arrangements and navigation through the strait.
