新加坡籍集装箱船GFS Pride在霍尔木兹海峡被不明抛体击中后沉没2。该船搁浅位置位于阿曼马桑达姆半岛拉斯谢赫·马苏德西北方向4海里处2。船上21名船员已全部安全撤离2,无人伤亡。这是自美国与伊朗冲突升级以来第二艘报告沉没的商船2。
围绕沉船原因,伊朗方面与国际海事部门的说法存在分歧。伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队声称船只在"未授权"路线通过霍尔木兹海峡时触发了水雷2。而英国海事贸易部门报告称,同日至少有两艘船舶被无名物体击中12,与伊朗的官方说法相悖。
伊朗对该地区商船的攻击行为正在加剧。英国海事贸易部门报告过去48小时内至少发生五起事件,包括无人机袭击1。根据金融时报分析,在两周内有24艘船舶被击中,其中包括3艘精炼油产品油轮和2艘原油油轮1。美军官员证实伊朗采取了新战术,伊斯兰革命卫队在雷达能力被破坏后开始使用无武装观察员进行目标识别1。
伊朗官员透露了攻击的战略意图。伊朗向路透社表示"目的是挫败美国及其盟国降低全球油价的努力"1。这些攻击已对能源市场产生明显影响,美国燃油价格自特朗普对伊朗宣战以来上涨了近70%1。
根据联合国国际海事组织的数据,自美国与以色列对伊朗战争开始至今(自2月起),106起确认事件中至少有24名海员被杀2。除GFS Pride外,马耳他籍集装箱船Safeen Prestige和安提瓜和巴布达籍散货船Cape Dao也在袭击中沉没,其中Cape Dao在9月23日被袭击时有1人丧生2。尽管面临这些风险,上月霍尔木兹海峡的原油出口仍达到战前水平的约80%,约为日均1600万桶2。
A Singapore-flagged container ship, the GFS Pride, has sunk in the Strait of Hormuz after being struck by an unidentified projectile, with all 21 crew members safely evacuated.2 The vessel, which was carrying 2,500 containers, went down northwest of Ras al-Khaimah on the Musandam Peninsula.2 The incident represents the second commercial vessel reported to have sunk since the escalation of U.S.-Iranian tensions, following the earlier sinking of the Maltese-flagged container ship Safeen Prestige in March and the Antigua and Barbuda-flagged bulk carrier Cape Dao in September, which resulted in one fatality.2
The attack on the GFS Pride occurred during an intensifying campaign against shipping in the region.1 The British Maritime Trade Operations reported at least five incidents within a 48-hour period, including drone strikes.1 According to the British Maritime Trade Operations, two vessels on the same day were struck by unidentified objects.1 Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed the ship hit a mine while traveling on an unauthorized route through the Strait of Hormuz,12 but maritime security authorities attributed the sinking to a direct strike by an unknown object, creating a factual dispute between the two accounts.1
The escalation reflects a deliberate shift in Iranian strategy.1 Iranian officials told Reuters that the objective is to "thwart U.S. and allied efforts to reduce global oil prices."1 Senior Iranian officials have decided to adopt a new strategy aimed at influencing the outcome of the U.S. midterm elections scheduled for November 3.1 U.S. military officials confirmed that Iran has adopted new tactics, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps beginning to employ unarmed observers for target identification after their radar capabilities were compromised.1 According to Financial Times analysis, 24 vessels have been hit over a two-week period through October 11, including three refined product tankers and two crude oil tankers.1 U.S. fuel prices have risen nearly 70 percent since President Trump's declaration of conflict with Iran.1
The Strait of Hormuz typically handles approximately one-fifth of global petroleum and natural gas shipments.2 Last month, crude oil exports through the strait reached approximately 80 percent of pre-conflict levels, equivalent to roughly 16 million barrels per day.2 Since the start of the U.S. and Israeli conflict with Iran beginning in February, the United Nations International Maritime Organization has documented 106 confirmed incidents resulting in at least 24 maritime workers killed.2
