Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy said Friday that two oil tankers struck naval mines and caught fire while attempting to navigate an unauthorized route through the southern Strait of Hormuz.
革命卫队海军公共关系办公室在一份声明中说,这两艘船只试图在雷达和定位系统关闭的情况下隐蔽通过该水道。
In a statement, the IRGC Navy's public relations office said the vessels were attempting to pass through the waterway undetected, with their radar and positioning systems switched off.
声明称,其中一艘船是超大型油轮,并补充说船上的火光照亮了海峡南部海岸。
One of the vessels was a supertanker, the statement said, adding that flames from the ship illuminated the strait's southern shores.
革命卫队海军警告船东和航运公司,不要在未与其海上交通管制中心协调的情况下通过这一战略水道。
The IRGC Navy warned shipowners and shipping companies against transiting the strategic waterway without coordinating with its maritime traffic control center.
该声明发布之际,有报道称伊朗南部港口城市贾斯克发生爆炸,该城市位于海峡以东。官方伊朗通讯社(IRNA)援引当地消息来源称,贾斯克市或霍尔木兹甘省其他地方均未报告受损情况。周四,伊朗通讯社报道了“敌人”对南部城市锡里克的袭击。
The announcement came amid reports of explosions in Iran's southern port city of Jask, east of the strait. The official IRNA news agency, citing local sources, said no impacts had been reported in the city or elsewhere in Hormozgan province. On Thursday, IRNA reported an “enemy” strike on the southern city of Sirik.
革命卫队随后声称,为报复锡里克一座电信塔遭袭,已摧毁巴林的一座美军预警雷达。
The IRGC later claimed to have destroyed a US early-warning radar in Bahrain in retaliation for an attack on a telecommunications tower in Sirik.
美国中央司令部表示,其部队拦截了两架飞往巴林的伊朗攻击无人机,并报告称无人员伤亡或财产损失。霍尔木兹海峡连接波斯湾和阿曼湾,是国际石油运输的重要航道。
US Central Command said its forces intercepted two Iranian attack drones heading toward Bahrain, reporting no injuries or damage. The Strait of Hormuz connects the Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and serves as a vital route for international oil shipments.
