美国中央司令部（CENTCOM）司令布拉德·库珀上将周五声称，随着华盛顿加强对德黑兰石油收入和军事资金的打击，伊朗已被切断海上进出口。
US Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander Adm. Brad Cooper claimed Friday that Iran has been cut off from maritime imports and exports as Washington intensified its campaign against Tehran's oil revenue and military funding.
在一段视频讲话中，库珀表示，美国的行动重点放在三个方面：限制伊朗石油出口、干扰数字融资以及削弱伊朗安全部队支付人员工资的能力。
In a video message, Cooper said US efforts focused on three areas: restricting Iranian oil exports, disrupting digital financing and weakening the ability of Iran's security forces to pay their personnel.
“重点在于，除了我们允许进入的人道主义援助之外，伊朗在海上既没有出口也没有进口，”库珀说。
"As a point of emphasis, with the exception of the humanitarian assistance we've allowed in, Iran has no exports and no imports by sea," Cooper said.
他说，美军在最近几个月里已阻止伊朗出口价值至少250亿美元的原油。
He said US forces have prevented Iran from exporting at least $25 billion worth of crude oil in recent months.
“CENTCOM还支持美国各部门伙伴冻结了近3.5亿美元的数字加密货币资产，进一步限制伊朗为恐怖主义提供资金或替换我们摧毁的武器和工厂的能力，”他说。
"CENTCOM has also supported US interagency partners in freezing nearly $350 million in digital cryptocurrency assets, further constricting Iran's ability to fund terrorism or replace weapons and factories that we destroy," he said.
库珀声称，该地区范围内的伊朗亲派组织已开始扣留战斗人员的工资，将资金转移到伊朗革命卫队（IRGC），他还说IRGC也在努力支付人员工资。根据库珀的说法，IRGC也在努力支付人员工资。
Cooper claimed that Iran-aligned groups operating across the region had begun withholding payments to their fighters to redirect funds to the IRGC, which he said was also struggling to pay its personnel. According to Cooper, the IRGC was also struggling to pay its personnel.
“伊朗伊斯兰政权显然正感受到经济痛苦，而IRGC正日益表现出绝望的迹象，”他说。
"The Islamic regime is clearly feeling the economic pain, and the IRGC is increasingly showing signs of greater desperation as a result," he said.
美国称霍尔木兹海峡保持畅通 尽管对伊朗海上贸易实施了限制，库珀表示商业航运仍在霍尔木兹海峡继续进行。
US claims Strait of Hormuz remains open Despite the restrictions on Iranian maritime trade, Cooper said commercial shipping continued through the Strait of Hormuz.
他指责伊朗袭击商船，并表示美军正与地区盟友和航运业合作伙伴合作，以加强海上安全。
He accused Iran of attacking commercial vessels and said US forces were working with regional allies and shipping industry partners to strengthen maritime security.
“让我明确说：霍尔木兹海峡由美国及其地区伙伴控制，而非伊朗，且它仍然对商业开放，”库珀说。他说，在过去七天里，大约有400艘商船通过了该海峡。
"Let me be clear: the Strait of Hormuz is controlled by the United States and our regional partners, not Iran, and it remains open for business," Cooper said. He said approximately 400 merchant ships had transited the strait over the previous seven days.
他补充说，美国军队在同一时期协助海湾伙伴通过该水道运输了超过1亿桶原油，使得美国在最近几个月协助运输的原油总量超过13亿桶。
He added that US forces had assisted Gulf partners in transporting more than 100 million barrels of crude oil through the waterway during the same period, bringing the total volume shipped with US assistance in recent months to more than 1.3 billion barrels.
