伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队海军周五表示，一艘油轮在霍尔木兹海峡触雷，引发巨大爆炸和大火。
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy said Friday that an oil supertanker struck a naval mine in the Strait of Hormuz, triggering a massive explosion and fire.
该油轮在试图通过该战略水道时正载有超过200万桶原油，半官方塔斯尼姆新闻社引用的声明称。
The vessel was carrying more than 2 million barrels of crude oil when it attempted to transit the strategic waterway, according to a statement carried by the semi-official Tasnim News Agency.
伊朗革命卫队海军称该油轮为“流氓”油轮，其已关闭导航和雷达系统。声明称该油轮试图利用美国军事支持，通过海峡运输货物。声明未透露该油轮的身份、所有人或船旗。声明也未提供可能的人员伤亡或损害程度的信息。
The IRGC Navy described the vessel as a "rogue" tanker that had switched off its navigation and radar systems. It claimed the tanker had attempted to exploit US military support to transport goods through the strait. The statement did not identify the vessel, its owner or flag. It also provided no information about possible casualties or the extent of the damage.
此事发生在伊朗与美国因霍尔木兹海峡航行自由问题而紧张加剧之际，该海峡是全球石油和天然气运输的主要通道。
This came amid heightened tensions between Iran and the US over freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, a major passage for global oil and gas shipments.
自美国和以色列于2月28日对伊朗发动袭击以来，该水道的海上交通已被严重扰乱。
Maritime traffic through the waterway has been severely disrupted since the US and Israel launched attacks against Iran on Feb. 28.
