TEHRAN (The Thursday Times) — Iran ki musallah afwaj ne Hafte ko kaha ke Aabnaye Hormuz aur us ke atraaf mein mazeed teen oil tanker bahri baroodi surangon se takrane ke baad aag ki lapet mein aa gaye. Is se chand din pehle Tehran ne kaha tha ke inhi paaniyon mein chaar doosre tanker nakara ho gaye the.
Pasdaran-e-Inqilab ki bahriya ne Hafte ki subah sarkari nashriyati idare par nashar hone wale ek bayan mein kaha ke do oil tanker, jinhon ne apne radar aur positioning system band kar rakhe the aur jo “ek ghair-mujaz raaste se khufiya taur par Aabnaye Hormuz uboor karne ki koshish kar rahe the”, “ek bahri baroodi surang se takrane ke baad dhamake se phat gaye aur un mein aag lag gayi”. Bayan ke mutabiq un mein se ek super tanker tha, taham kisi bhi jahaz ka naam nahin bataya gaya aur na yeh ke un ka taalluq kahan se tha.
Iran ki baqaida bahriya ne ek alag bayan mein kaha ke ek teesra tanker, jo aabnaye ke mashriq mein bahriya ke baqaul “ghair-mehfooz aur mamnooa zone” se apne tracking aur shanakhti nizam band kar ke guzar raha tha, ek baroodi surang se takrane ke baad aag ki lapet mein aa gaya aur rukne par majboor ho gaya. Bahriya ne khabardar kiya ke peshgi intebah ke bawajood is zone mein dakhil hone wale har jahaz ka yehi anjaam hoga.
Bahriya ne tankeron ke malikan ko zimmedar thehrate hue kaha ke unhon ne doosre jahazon ke anjaam ko nazarandaz kiya aur Amriki Sadr Donald Trump ki “be-maani bayan-bazi” par bharosa kiya. Bayan mein kaha gaya: “Yeh malikan apne asason ko ‘baroodi surangon ki jang’ mein dhakel kar sholon ke hawale kar rahe hain.”
In mein se kisi bhi daawe ki azadana tasdeeq nahin ho saki, aur Amrica ya kisi jahaz ke malikan ki janib se fori taur par koi radd-e-amal samne nahin aaya. Amriki fauj ka kehna hai ke us ne aabi guzargah ke markazi raaston ko baroodi surangon se saaf kar diya hai.
Baroodi surangon ke daawon ka ek hafta
Jumme ko Pasdaran-e-Inqilab ne ek jahaz se uthte dhuen ke bade baadal ki footage jaari ki thi, jis ke baare mein un ka kehna tha ke woh maye gas le ja raha tha aur aabnaye ke junoob mein ek baroodi surang se takra gaya tha. Budh ki raat aur Jumeraat ko Irani afwaj ne kaha tha ke aabi guzargah aur us ke atraaf mein chaar tanker nishana bane. In mein se bhi kisi jahaz ki shanakht nahin ho saki.
February mein Amrica ke saath jang chhidne ke baad se Tehran israr karta aaya hai ke jahaz aabnaye uboor karne se pehle us se ijazat lein, aur us ne hukm na maanne wale jahazon par hamle kiye hain. Jawab mein Washington ne Irani bandargahon ki bahri naka-bandi kar rakhi hai aur is raaste ko istemal karne wale tankeron ko fauji madad faraham kar raha hai.
Yeh taaza daawe aise waqt samne aaye hain jab International Energy Agency ka kehna hai ke Khaleeji tel ki baramadat bahal ho rahi hain aur mandi dobara surplus mein aa gayi hai. Washington mein Wazir-e-Kharja Marco Rubio ne Jumme ko kaha ke Iran par muashi dabao ke baais mazeed Amriki fauji karrawai ki zaroorat nahin, jabke Aqwam-e-Muttahida ki Salamati Council mein Iran ke naib mandoob ne khabardar kiya ke kisi bhi naye hamle ka “fori aur faisla kun jawab” diya jayega.
