-- 据《华盛顿邮报》周三援引三位知情官员的话报道,五角大楼估计,霍尔木兹海峡的排雷工作可能需要六个月的时间才能完成,这预示着油价将持续承压。 报道援引消息人士的话称,美国国防部官员告诉国会议员,清理工作可能需要半年时间,而且很可能要等到与伊朗的冲突结束后才会开始,这将延缓航运的全面恢复。 报道称,官员们在周二众议院军事委员会的一次秘密简报会上公布了这一时间表,民主党和共和党议员都对可能持续的航运中断表示不满。 报道指出,评估表明,即使达成和平协议,汽油和石油价格也可能长期居高不下。 随着燃油成本上涨临近11月的中期选举,政治风险也在上升,这将给特朗普总统带来更大的压力。民调显示,特朗普的战争决定并未获得足够的公众支持。 消息人士称,伊朗可能已在霍尔木兹海峡使用GPS制导的浮式装置和小船布设了至少20枚水雷,这增加了美国探测难度,也提高了排雷行动的风险。 报道称,伊朗在3月份美以联合空袭期间开始布设水雷,促使特朗普警告德黑兰,如果伊朗不清除这些水雷,将面临严重后果。 报道称,此后五角大楼对涉嫌布设水雷的伊朗船只进行了打击。国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯表示,美军精准打击了这些船只,以确保航道安全。 报道称,伊朗副外长否认布设水雷,但另有报道称,德黑兰可能难以追踪所有已布设的装置,这进一步增加了不确定性。 报道补充说,此前特朗普声称,伊朗在美国的帮助下已经或正在清除所有水雷,此举旨在安抚市场,并表明在达成协议方面取得了进展。 停火期间航运曾短暂恢复,但伊朗军队向油轮开火并重新实施限制后,航运再次停滞。 报告称,分析人士警告,布满水雷的水域可能会阻碍保险公司和船舶运营商,即使不完全关闭,也会限制通行,并使海峡部分区域无法使用,从而对市场造成重大影响。 报告还指出,冲突爆发前,该海峡承载着全球约20%的石油流量,包括日本、韩国和中国在内的主要亚洲经济体严重依赖中东能源供应。 白宫、美国中央司令部和五角大楼尚未回复的置评请求。 (市场动态新闻来源于与全球市场专业人士的对话。这些信息据信来自可靠来源,但可能包含传闻和猜测。准确性无法保证。)
