According to the Pentagon, the Iranian fishermen aboard a cargo ship were about 80km southeast of the Iraqi port of Umm Qasr with their engine room flooding. They used flares and flashlights to hail the US Coast Guard cutter, the Monomoy, in the dead of night. One of the Iranians who suffered burns from a fire on board the troubled ship was now receiving medical treatment on the Monomoy. Pentagon officials said the US would repatriate the Iranians, but it's not clear how or when this will happen. Iran and the United States have no diplomatic ties.
据美国国防部称,在伊拉克Umm Qasr港口东南约80公里处,这些伊朗渔民当时驾驶一艘货船,引擎间已浸满了水。在漆黑的夜里,他们发射照明弹和闪光灯呼叫美国“海岸卫士”快艇Monomoy。其中一名伊朗人一登上这艘船就被烧伤了,目前已在Monomoy上接受了治疗。国防部官员称美国将遣返这些伊朗人,但不清楚用何种办法,也不知道什么时候遣返。伊朗和美国目前已断绝外交关系。
