然而本周,这些男子却驶向了截然不同的捕捞目标。数百人乘坐小艇和打捞船,分散在霍尔木兹海峡温暖的水域中,打捞从GFS Pride号上掉落的iPhone、法国香水及其他货物。该船于10月14日沉没。

This week, however, the men set sail for a very different kind of catch. Hundreds of them, in skiffs and salvage boats, fanned out across the warm waters of the Strait of Hormuz to fish for iPhones, French perfume and other cargo that had spilt overboard from the GFS Pride, which sank on Oct 14.

“我们正在聚集并驶向霍尔木兹海峡,”一人在视频中说道。“我们听说一艘集装箱船沉没了,所以我们去打捞iPhone和香水。”该船注册地新加坡表示,船只在船上发生火灾后沉没,全部21名船员安全撤离,未受伤。

“We are gathering and heading towards the Strait of Hormuz,” one man said in a video. “We heard a container ship sank, so we’re going to collect iPhones and perfume.”Singapore, where the ship was flagged, said it sank after a fire broke out on board and all 21 crew members were evacuated without injury.

伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队海军称,该船偏离了“未获授权且危险”的航线,触及水雷引发大火,导致搭载超过2500个集装箱的船只沉没。

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) navy said the ship had strayed onto an “unauthorised and dangerous” route and struck a sea mine, triggering a blaze that sent it under with more than 2,500 containers on board.

尽管伊朗自2月下旬战争爆发以来已击中数十艘船只,但几乎没有一艘沉没。

Although Iran has struck scores of ships since the war began in late February, almost none have sunk.

GFS Pride号是在24小时内第二艘沉没的船只,也是战争爆发以来第三艘沉没的船只,此前安提瓜和巴布达注册的“开普岛”号于9月23日遭袭击后沉没。

The GFS Pride was the second to go down within 24 hours and only the third of the war, after the Antigua and Barbuda-flagged Cape Dao, lost to an attack on Sept 23.

画面显示,数十艘小船在半沉没的集装箱间穿梭,男子们从波浪中拉出箱子。在一段视频中,一艘小艇吃力地拖着一个全尺寸的集装箱前行。

Footage showed dozens of boats threading between half-submerged containers with men hauling boxes from the swell. In one clip, a single small boat strains to tow a full-size shipping container behind it.

其海军即使在警告船只远离的同时,也敦促当地渔民小心翼翼地绕过漂浮在海面上的集装箱航行。

周五,伊朗表示霍尔木兹海峡的重新开放与美国从该地区撤军挂钩。陆军发言人穆罕默德·阿克拉米尼亚准将警告称,若美军继续驻留,伊朗武装力量将驱逐美军。

Its navy, even as it warns ships away, has urged local fishermen to steer carefully around the containers drifting on the surface. On Friday, Iran tied any reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to an American withdrawal from the region with Brig Gen Mohammad Akraminia, the army spokesman, warning that Iranian forces would drive out US troops if they stayed.

他说:“如果美国离开该地区,霍尔木兹海峡将开放,区域国家将参与建立集体安全,全球经济将得到改善。如果它不离开,我们将把它驱逐出去。”阿克拉米尼亚准将将海峡东部的不安全局面归咎于美国,并敦促船东使用伊朗武装部队指定的走廊,声称这样做的船舶将是安全的。

He said: “If America leaves the region, the Strait of Hormuz will open, collective security will be established with the participation of regional states, and the global economy will improve. And if it does not leave, we will expel it.”Brig Gen Akraminia blamed the US for the insecurity east of the strait and urged shipowners to use a corridor designated by Iran’s armed forces, claiming vessels that did so would be safe.

与此同时,伊朗常规海军周五表示,它已经“监控”了阿曼湾一艘“违规油轮”上的火灾,该油轮已关闭其追踪系统,并试图进入一个“禁区”。

Separately, Iran’s regular navy said on Friday it had “monitored” a fire aboard a “violating tanker” in the Gulf of Oman that had switched off its tracking systems and tried to cross a “prohibited zone”.
