伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）周六声称，在霍尔木兹海峡格什姆岛上空击落了一架美国MQ-1“捕食者”无人机，据Press TV报道，此举发生在德黑兰与华盛顿之间紧张局势升级之际。
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Saturday claimed that it had shot down a US MQ-1 Predator drone over Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, Press TV reported, amid heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington.
该声明是在美国军方周五驳回伊朗指控之后提出的，伊朗指控称美军打击了位于巴林的美国预警雷达。华盛顿表示，其部队拦截并击落了两架由伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队发射、飞往巴林的单向攻击无人机，并称该事件未造成损失或人员伤亡。伊朗称打击是对电信塔遭袭的报复伊朗官方媒体报道称，德黑兰发动打击是为了回应其描述为在其霍尔木兹甘省的一个电信塔遭受的空袭。
The claim came after the US military on Friday rejected Iran's allegations that it had struck an American early-warning radar in Bahrain. Washington said its forces had intercepted and shot down two one-way attack drones launched by the IRGC towards Bahrain, adding that the incident caused no damage or injuries. Iran claims strike was retaliation for attack on telecom towerIranian state media reported that Tehran had launched the strike in response to what it described as an air attack on a telecommunications tower in its Hormozgan province.
最新的互相指控发生在伊朗与美国之间冲突的脆弱休战期间。这场冲突始于2月28日，当时美国和以色列对伊朗发动打击，随后已蔓延至整个地区。伊朗-美国冲突扰乱霍尔木兹海峡航运自冲突开始以来，伊朗已对海湾国家的美国基地发动导弹和无人机袭击，并试图限制通过霍尔木兹海峡的航行，该海峡是全球石油和天然气供应的关键通道。
The latest claims and counterclaims come amid a fragile lull in the conflict between Iran and the US, which began on February 28 with American and Israeli strikes on Iran and has since spread across the region. Iran-US conflict disrupts shipping through Strait of HormuzSince the conflict began, Iran has launched missile and drone attacks targeting US bases in Gulf countries and sought to restrict shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial passage for global oil and gas supplies.
作为回应，华盛顿对伊朗港口实施了海上封锁，进一步升级了双方之间的紧张局势。
In response, Washington imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports, further escalating tensions between the two sides.
伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队周五警告美国不要采取进一步军事行动，威胁对即使是有限的侵略行为也将进行有力回应。伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队总司令艾哈迈德·瓦希迪少将表示，如果华盛顿继续对德黑兰采取行动，将面临严重后果。
Iran's IRGC on Friday warned the United States against further military action, threatening a forceful response to even limited acts of aggression. IRGC Chief Commander Major General Ahmad Vahidi said Washington would face severe consequences if it continued its actions against Tehran.
他的警告发生在伊朗与美国之间紧张局势上升之际，战略要地霍尔木兹海峡有新进展报道。伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队对该水道的海上动向发出警告，并声称一艘液化天然气运输船撞上水雷后发生重大爆炸。
His warning comes amid rising tensions between Iran and the United States, with fresh developments reported in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC has issued warnings over maritime movements in the waterway and claimed that a liquefied gas carrier was involved in a major explosion after striking a naval mine.
