华盛顿讯——雪佛龙公司首席执行官表示,霍尔木兹海峡重新开放后,美国海军可能需要为商业船只提供护航,以保障航行安全。
目前,伊朗对这条关键航道发出威胁,加之美国对伊朗港口实施封锁,海峡对峙局势已大幅升级,事实上导致航道关闭。近期紧张局势已引发多起海上事件。
在周四接受《面向全国》(Face the Nation)节目主持人玛格丽特·布伦南(Margaret Brennan)采访时,被问及雪佛龙需要满足哪些条件才敢放心派遣船只通过海峡,首席执行官迈克·沃思(Mike Wirth)表示:“我们必须确信船上人员安全、货物安全,并且能够以极高的信心完成航行。”
沃思称,相关决定将“与美国海军及全球其他军事机构协作”做出。
“我认为在通航初期,很可能会看到海军护航行动,因为风险不仅来自海峡内布设的水雷,还可能来自陆地方向的其他形式威胁。”沃思说,“因此,让海军舰艇为首批过境船只提供护航,相比遭遇突发状况后再启动防御,能给我们带来更高的信心保障。”
自本轮冲突爆发以来,特朗普总统在保障这条全球约五分之一石油运输必经的关键航道安全问题上,表态前后不一。周四,特朗普表示美国扫雷舰正在清理霍尔木兹海峡,并下令美国海军“对在海峡布设水雷的伊朗船只格杀勿论”。

Washington — Chevron’s chief executive said it’s likely that the U.S. Navy may need to escort commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz once it reopens in order to ensure a level of security.
The standoff over the strait has intensified amid Iran’s threats against the critical channel and a U.S. blockade on Iranian ports, effectively closing it. The tensions have led to several maritime incidents in recent days.
Asked Thursday by “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan what Chevron would need to see to feel confident to send a ship through the strait, CEO Mike Wirth said, “we’d have to believe that our people on the ship will be safe, the cargo will be safe, and they can be transited with with a high degree of confidence.”
Wirth said the decision would be made “in collaboration” with the U.S. Navy and other military organizations around the world.
“I think in the early days, it’s very likely that you could see naval escorts, because I think some of the risks are not just mines that could be placed in the strait, but they could be also risks that could come from the land in other forms,” Wirth said. “So I think having the Navy with those ships that make the first transit would provide a higher degree of confidence than if there were to be something [that] happened, that you’d have some measure of defense.”
Since the start of the war, President Trump has sent conflicting messages about securing the key waterway, through which about a fifth of the world’s oil travels through. On Thursday, Mr. Trump said U.S. minesweepers were clearing the strait and directed the U.S. Navy to “shoot and kill” Iranian boats placing mines in the strait.
