伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队周三表示，四艘油轮在撞上海军水雷后被摧毁。此前一天，美国官员称美军已对该国发动打击。
Four oil tankers were destroyed after hitting naval sea mines, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Wednesday, a day after US officials said the US military had launched strikes on the country.
据半官方的塔斯尼姆通讯社报道，伊斯兰革命卫队称其中两艘船只仍在燃烧，另有两只油轮被扣押。该通讯社称，这些船只当时试图通过霍尔木兹海峡一条被禁止的南部航线。
The IRGC said two of the vessels were still burning, and two additional tankers had been seized, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency. It said they were trying to travel through a prohibited southern route in the Strait of Hormuz.
BBC尚未独立核实伊斯兰革命卫队的说法。这一说法传出之际，美国选民在中期选举中惩罚了共和党，促使伊朗首席谈判代表穆罕默德·巴格尔·加利巴夫表示，选举结果表明美国人民对战争说了“不”。他警告华盛顿不要背叛本国民众。
The BBC has not independently verified the IRGC's claim, which came as US voters punished Republicans at the midterm elections, leading Iran's top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, to say the results showed Americans had said no to war. He warned Washington not to betray its public.
伊斯兰革命卫队还报告称，三艘油轮在周二早些时候撞上水雷后被摧毁，并且他们在海峡上空击落了一架MQ-9无人机。
The IRCG also reported three tankers had been destroyed after hitting mines early on Tuesday, and that they had shot down an MQ-9 drone over the Strait.
美国此前对格什姆岛的打击是对伊斯兰革命卫队向一架美国飞机开火的回应。
The earlier US strikes on Qeshm were in response to the IRGC firing on a US aircraft.
加利巴夫同时也是伊朗议会议长，他在发帖称，中期选举结果表明，无论是出于“良知还是生活成本，美国人都对战争说了不，我们赞同这一信息”。
Ghalibaf, who is also Iran's parliamentary speaker, posted on that the midterm results showed that whether it was "conscience or the cost of living, Americans said no to war, and we endorse this message".
“如果美国政府背叛本国民众的意愿，去为国际金主和敲诈者服务，它将会明白我们的‘不’伴随着噩梦。”美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周二承认，共和党国会议员表现不佳部分归因于对伊朗的战争以及随之而来的汽油价格上涨，但他并不后悔发动这场战争。他告诉BBC的合作媒体哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，这场冲突将“在我宣布结束时”结束。
"If the US govt betrays their public will to serve international paymasters and blackmailers, it will learn our 'no' comes with a nightmare." US President Donald Trump on Tuesday acknowledged the poor results for Republican congress members was partly due to the war on Iran and the consequent increased gas prices, but that he didn't regret launching it. He told the BBC's partner CBS News that the conflict would end "when I say it ends".
在周二中期选举前接受《金融时报》采访时，特朗普暗示他对冲突的现状感到满意，并且他认为他们并不“真的处于战争之中”。
In an interview with the Financial Times ahead of the midterm elections on Tuesday, Trump suggested he was happy with the state of the conflict, and that he didn't consider them to be "really in a war".
当被问及以色列领导人本雅明·内塔尼亚胡关于本周将再次袭击伊朗的言论时，特朗普表示，他们“已锁定目标、装填完毕，如果需要就会行动，但或许并无必要”。
Asked about comments by Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu that there would be another attack on Iran this week, Trump said they were "locked and loaded if we need to go, but there may be no need for it".
周二晚间，特朗普对福克斯新闻表示，有些人会“乐于”对伊朗进行“沉重打击”。
On Tuesday night, Trump told Fox News there were some people who would "love" to do a "heavy hit" on Iran.
“我唯一能确定地告诉你们的是，他们永远不会拥有核武器，”特朗普说。
"The only thing I can tell you with certainty, they will never have a nuclear weapon," Trump said.
旨在结束这场冲突的谈判已停滞数月，几乎没有取得突破的迹象。这场冲突由美国和以色列在2月对伊朗的联合打击引发。
Talks to end the conflict, which was triggered by joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran in February, have been stalled for months, with little sign of a breakthrough.
卡利巴夫周二在议会会议上表示，伊朗“不会投降”，防止战争的责任在美国一方。
Ghalibaf told a parliamentary session on Tuesday that Iran "will not surrender" and the responsibility to prevent a war lay with the US.
“如果华盛顿再次犯下战略错误，它应当知道，这一次它将面对一个新的战场，并且在寻找出路时会比今天更加绝望，”卡利巴夫说。
"If Washington makes another strategic mistake, it should know that this time it will face a new battlefield and will be even more desperate than it is today as it searches for a way out," Ghalibaf said.
与此同时，伊朗总统马苏德·佩泽希齐扬坚称，其政府一直试图“通过对话”解决危机。他周二表示，如果战火重燃，“没有人会从这场战争中获益”。
Meanwhile Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian maintained his government had been trying to resolve the crisis "through dialogue". "No-one will benefit from this war" if fighting is restarted, he said on Tuesday.
伊朗为回应袭击而关闭了霍尔木兹海峡，并表示只有美国同意其和平计划中的要求，才会重新开放海峡。外交部发言人伊斯梅尔·巴加埃本周表示，这项七步计划已被精简，如果美国同意，可在两天内实施。
Iran, which closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to the attack, has said it will only reopen it if the US agrees to demands contained in its peace plan. Foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei this week said the seven-step plan had been condensed, and could be implemented in two days if the US agreed.
