Iranian Vessels Tried to Block the Passage of a British Ship, the U.K. Says
英国称伊朗船只试图阻止英国船只通过
(DUBAI, United Arab Emirates) — The British navy said it prevented three Iranian paramilitary vessels from impeding the passage of a British commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz early Thursday, a day after Iran’s president warned of repercussions for the seizure of its own supertanker.
英国海军周四早些时候表示，他们阻止了3艘伊朗准军事船只阻碍一艘英国商船在阿拉伯联合酋长国霍尔木兹海崃的通行，此前一天，伊朗总统曾警告说，扣押自己的超级油轮会带来不良后果。
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard denied the allegations, saying if it had received orders to seize any ships it would have done so immediately.
伊朗革命卫队否认了这些指控，称如果他们接到命令扣押任何船只，他们会立即行动。
The incident came at a time of heightened tensions over Iran’s unraveling nuclear agreement with world powers. Iran recently began breaching uranium enrichment limits in response to the Trump administration’s withdrawal from the agreement last year and its imposition of sweeping sanctions.
这一事件发生之际，正值伊朗与世界大国之间的核协议破裂导致紧张局势升级之际。 伊朗最近开始突破铀浓缩限制，以回应特朗普政府去年退出该协议及其实施的全面制裁。
In recent months, the U.S. has dispatched thousands of additional troops, an aircraft carrier, bombers and advanced fighter jets to the region. Washington has blamed Iran for a series of mysterious attacks on oil tankers — charges denied by Tehran — and said it shot down an American drone in international airspace. Iran said it downed the drone after it veered into its own airspace.
最近几个月，美国向该地区增派了数千名士兵、一架航空母舰、轰炸机和先进战斗机。 华盛顿指责伊朗对油轮发动了一系列神秘袭击(德黑兰否认了这些指控) ，并表示伊朗在国际空域击落了一架美国无人机。 伊朗表示，它在无人机转向自己领空后击落了该无人机。
