美国总统特朗普21日向伊朗发出威胁，要求伊朗在48小时内开放霍尔木兹海峡，否则将摧毁其各类发电厂。
US President Donald Trump threatened on social media Saturday that the United States would target Iranian power plants if the country fails to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.
特朗普在社交媒体上说：“如果伊朗未能从此刻起的48小时内，不加威胁地完全开放霍尔木兹海峡，美国将打击并摧毁伊朗的各类发电厂，首先是最大的那座！”
"If Iran doesn't FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!" Trump said on social media.

当地时间3月20日，美国官员表示，美军正向中东增派3艘军舰及约2500名海军陆战队员。此前有美方知情人士称，增兵将为特朗普提供更多军事选项，包括发起“打通”霍尔木兹海峡的行动。
The US military is deploying up to 2,500 Marines and at least three more ships to the Middle East, according to a Pentagon official.
特朗普政府也在考虑向伊朗石油出口“命脉”哈尔克岛出动地面部队，这一方案旨在夺岛，以此作为筹码逼迫伊朗恢复霍尔木兹海峡通行。
对此，有伊朗军方消息人士表示，如果美国对哈尔克岛发动“军事侵略”，那么必将面临美以袭击伊朗以来“前所未有的反击”。
19日，伊朗驻英国大使兼常驻国际海事组织代表穆萨维重申伊方立场：“霍尔木兹海峡对所有船只开放，但属于我们敌人的船只除外。我们是在行使自卫权，保卫自己的领土完整。”
Iran is ready to facilitate the passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, provided that it is coordinated with Iranian authorities and conducted with full respect for its sovereignty and security, Iran's Ambassador to Britain Ali Mousavi said Thursday. Mousavi also acts as Iran's permanent representative to the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
The Strait of Hormuz is open to all the vessels except those that "belong to our enemies," the envoy said, noting that Iran remains willing to provide facilitation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, but such arrangements must be coordinated in light of security conditions.
