伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）表示，两艘油轮在霍尔木兹海峡撞上水雷后起火，每艘油轮载有约200万桶原油。
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has said two oil tankers, each carrying about two million barrels of crude oil, caught fire after hitting naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队周六称，第一艘油轮撞上水雷，引发爆炸和“猛烈大火”，而第二艘油轮撞上水雷，被“大火”吞没，伊朗官方通讯社伊尔纳（IRNA）报道。目前尚无法立即获得这些船只的名称或其货物来源的信息。
The first tanker hit a mine, triggering an explosion and a “fierce fire”, the IRGC said on Saturday, while the second tanker hit a mine that engulfed it “in a massive blaze”, Iran’s official IRNA news agency reported. Information about the ships’ names or the origin of their cargo was not immediately available.
伊尔纳称，这些船只已关闭定位和雷达系统，并试图使用伊朗未授权的航线。
IRNA said the vessels had switched off their positioning and radar systems and tried to use a route not authorised by Iran.
伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队还声称，虽然一艘油轮在“美国支持”下试图穿越该水道，但第二艘船只被留下无法移动。
The IRGC also claimed that while one tanker tried to cross the waterway “with US support”, the second vessel was left immobilised.
伊朗在美以对伊战争于2月下旬爆发后夺取了霍尔木兹海峡的控制权。此后，德黑兰要求所有船只在通过前须先获得其授权。战争前，全球约五分之一的石油消费量经过该水道。
Iran seized control of the Strait of Hormuz after the US-Israeli war on the country began in late February. Tehran has since demanded that all ships seek its authorisation before transiting. About one-fifth of global oil consumption transited the waterway before the war.
本周，伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队海军司令阿里·阿兹迈伊少将警告称，任何关闭导航系统的船只将被视为“敌对”。美国已对伊朗石油出口实施了自身的海军反封锁。
This week, IRGC naval commander Rear Admiral Ali Azmaei warned that any vessel that deactivated its navigation systems would be considered “hostile”. The United States has imposed its own naval counter-blockade on Iranian oil exports.
伊朗军方此前表示，两艘油轮于周四和周五在德黑兰阿曼湾的“禁区”起火。
Iran’s army earlier said that two tankers caught fire on Thursday and Friday in Tehran’s “prohibited zone” in the Gulf of Oman.
海事监测机构还报道称，周五有两艘油轮在沙特阿拉伯海湾水域被击中。
Maritime monitors also reported two tankers struck in Gulf waters off Saudi Arabia on Friday.
据安全公司先锋（Vanguard）、国际海事组织和英国海事机构英国海事贸易组织（UKMTO）报道，上周日，有六艘船只在霍尔木兹海峡内或附近遭到袭击，这是战争爆发以来单日袭击次数最多的一次。
Last Sunday, six vessels were attacked in or near the Strait of Hormuz, the most in a single day since the war began, according to security firm Vanguard, the International Maritime Organization and the UK maritime agency UKMTO.
过去两周，该水道周围的袭击事件激增，伊朗表示，它正在加大打击力度，以回应美国对其港口的封锁以及上个月实施的更严厉制裁。
Attacks around the waterway have surged over the past two weeks, with Iran saying it is stepping up strikes in response to the US blockade of its ports and tougher sanctions imposed last month.
根据Kpler数据，10月8日有近2080万桶石油通过，但10月11日仅有290万桶。此次中断推高了全球能源价格和通胀。
Nearly 20.8 million barrels of oil passed through on October 8, but only 2.9 million on October 11, according to Kpler data. The disruption has pushed up global energy prices and inflation.
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普明确排除了对伊朗使用核武器的可能性。他在周四接受Newsmax新闻网站采访时表示：“我不会使用核武器。”
US President Donald Trump has explicitly ruled out using a nuclear weapon against Iran. “I wouldn’t use nuclear,” he told the Newsmax news site in an interview on Thursday.
特朗普还说，他也不考虑在伊朗境内部署地面部队。“不，我看不到这种可能，我看不到，”他说，并补充道，他认为结束战争的协议将在美国11月3日中期选举之后达成。
Trump said that he was also not considering putting troops on the ground in Iran. “No, I don’t see that, I don’t see it,” he said, adding he believes a deal to end the war will be reached after the November 3 US midterm elections.
