Iran says seven tankers hit near Hormuz, warns US over escorts伊朗称七艘油轮在霍尔木兹海峡附近受损,并就护航警告美国
Iran said seven tankers were damaged overnight, four during oil transfers and three by mines, and its Revolutionary Guard warned it could strike US bases if American forces keep escorting ships. Washington disputes the mine claims.伊朗表示,一夜之间有七艘油轮受损,其中四艘在过驳作业时受袭、三艘触雷;伊斯兰革命卫队警告,若美军继续为船只护航,可能攻击美国基地。美方对触雷说法提出质疑。
Lloyd's List Intelligence counts 28 attacks on ships in October, though Gulf oil shipments have roughly returned to pre-war levels. Separately, Houthi attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure prompted Aramco to evacuate staff from its Dhahran headquarters, according to OilPrice.com, and the US is sending a second aircraft carrier to the region. The tension is the main driver behind oil's climb above $114.
据劳氏日报情报统计,本月已发生28起针对船只的袭击,但海湾地区原油出口已大致恢复至战前水平。另据OilPrice.com报道,胡塞武装袭击沙特能源设施,沙特阿美已疏散达兰总部人员;美国正向该地区增派第二艘航空母舰。地区紧张局势是油价升破114美元的主要推手。
