迪拜 11 月 12 日电 - 伊朗军方周四表示，四艘油轮在霍尔木兹海峡遭遇爆炸袭击，并称这些船只无视警告，进入了其认定为受限区域的这一战略水道。
DUBAI, Nov 12 - Four oil tankers were hit by explosions in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's military said on Thursday, adding that the vessels had ignored warnings and entered what it considers restricted areas of the strategic waterway.
尽管航运流量有所回升，且市场预期美伊战争将降温，这在油价下跌中有所体现，但油轮仍在海峡各处面临袭击。
Tankers are still facing attacks across the strait, despite a rebound in traffic and expectations of a de-escalation in the war between the United States and Iran that have been reflected in falling oil prices.
伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队海军称，周三有两艘超大型油轮在无视警告、使用其所谓“未经授权航线”后，因爆炸而瘫痪。路透社无法立即核实伊朗方面的说法。
Iran's Revolutionary Guards Navy said two supertankers were disabled by explosions on Wednesday after they ignored warnings against using what it said was an "unauthorised route". Reuters could not immediately verify the Iranian account.
伊朗官方媒体报道称，这两艘船只“在撞上水雷后爆炸”，并播放了据称是事发现场的视频画面。
The two vessels "exploded after hitting naval mines", Iranian state media reported, broadcasting what it said was video footage of the incidents.
伊朗国家电视台援引伊朗陆军消息称，周四下午，另外两艘油轮在穿越霍尔木兹海峡东部时撞上水雷，此前它们无视警告并关闭了雷达系统。报道称，这些油轮进入受限区域并随后起火。
Iran's army later said two other tankers had hit mines on Thursday afternoon while sailing through the eastern Strait of Hormuz after ignoring warnings and disabling their radar systems, state TV reported. The tankers entered a restricted area and subsequently caught fire, it reported.
在始于 2 月的美以与伊朗战争早期阶段，革命卫队海军曾宣称对油轮实施了袭击。然而最近，它改为报告称，船只在穿越其宣布为“未经授权航线”的海峡南部时，因撞上水雷而起火。
Earlier in the US-Israeli war with Iran, which began in February, the IRGC Navy announced its attacks on tankers. More recently, however, it has instead reported that vessels have caught fire after hitting naval mines while traversing the southern part of the strait, which it has declared an unauthorised route.
在其中几起案例中，英国海上贸易行动局（UKMTO）表示，船只遭遇了不明飞行物袭击。
In several of those cases, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations agency (UKMTO) has said vessels had been struck by unknown projectiles.
UKMTO 在周四的报告中称，周三一艘船只在驶出海峡时、在阿联酋拉希酋长国西北约 14 海里处遭不明飞行物击中，导致机舱起火。报告补充称，灭火工作正在进行中，全体船员已撤离。
The UKMTO said in reports on Thursday that a vessel was hit by an unidentified projectile about 14 nautical miles northwest of the UAE emirate of Ras Al-Khaimah on Wednesday while exiting the strait, causing a fire in its engine room. Firefighting efforts were under way and all crew had been evacuated, it added.
据华盛顿近东政策研究所的数据，11月前10天至少有10艘船只遭袭，此前10月发生了37起袭击，为自2月下旬冲突爆发以来的最高月度记录。
At least 10 ships were hit in the first 10 days of November, after 37 attacks in October, which was the highest monthly tally since the conflict began in late February, according to data from the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
