伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）周二表示，两艘油轮在试图通过霍尔木兹海峡“一条未经授权的航线”时发生爆炸，留下了燃烧中的船只。
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said Tuesday that two oil tankers were left burning after explosions while attempting to navigate “an unauthorized route” through the Strait of Hormuz.
在半官方塔斯尼姆新闻社转载的一份声明中，IRGC海军表示，两艘油轮在一条“未经授权”的航运走廊内被拦截，发生了爆炸和大火。声明称，其中一艘超级油轮撞上一枚海军水雷并发生爆炸。
In a statement carried by the semi-official Tasnim news agency, the IRGC Navy said the two tankers were halted in an “unauthorized” shipping corridor, where explosions and large fires occurred. One of the vessels, a supertanker, struck a naval mine and exploded, the statement said.
IRGC声称，第二艘油轮正在接受美国军方战斗机的支援，在试图“秘密”通过这条受限航线时遭遇不明事件，导致其搁浅并被大火吞噬。
The second tanker, which the IRGC claimed was receiving support from US military fighter jets, encountered an unspecified incident while attempting to pass “secretly” through the restricted route, leaving it stranded and engulfed in flames.
据IRGC海军称，两艘船只在试图通过前都已关闭了导航和识别系统。声明称，两艘油轮在海峡南部海岸附近留下了燃烧中的船只。
According to the IRGC Navy, both vessels had switched off their navigation and identification systems before attempting the crossing. The two tankers were left burning near the southern shores of the strait, the statement said.
IRGC海军警告称，未经授权的通行仍然不安全，并威胁称，试图使用该航线的与美军合作的船只将面临类似后果。
The IRGC Navy warned that the unauthorized passage remained unsafe and threatened similar consequences for vessels cooperating with the US military that attempted to use the route.
声明未指出油轮名称、旗国或运营商，也未提供可能伤亡或船员状况的详情。美军未立即证实涉及美国战斗机的指控。
The statement did not identify the tankers, their flags or operators, or provide details on possible casualties or the condition of their crews. There was no immediate confirmation from the US military of the alleged involvement of American fighter jets.
该声明是在霍尔木兹海峡反复发生海事事件之际发布的，伊朗在其与美国持续对抗的背景下，对商业航运实施了限制。
The announcement came amid repeated maritime incidents in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran has imposed restrictions on commercial shipping amid its continuing confrontation with the US.
霍尔木兹海峡连接波斯湾和阿曼湾，是全球石油和天然气运输的重要通道。
The Strait of Hormuz, connecting the Gulf to the Gulf of Oman, is a vital passage for global oil and gas shipments.
自美国和以色列去年2月对伊朗发动袭击以来，该水道的海事交通已严重中断，引发了地区冲突和关于航行权的长期争端。
Maritime traffic through the waterway has been severely disrupted since the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran in February, triggering a regional conflict and a prolonged dispute over navigation rights.
