鲁比奥与英国外交大臣米利班德通话:重申共保霍尔木兹海峡通行、追究伊朗责任

美国国务院发言人办公室10月12日发布通话纪要:国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥当天与英国外交大臣爱德·米利班德通电话。
纪要称,双方重申共同致力于保障霍尔木兹海峡的航运通行,强调必须追究伊朗对其行为的责任,并将继续合作保障美国在英国的资产安全。鲁比奥还重申,美英密切伙伴关系对稳定全球能源市场、以及通过谈判解决俄乌冲突具有重要价值。
霍尔木兹海峡是全球约五分之一石油运输的必经通道,近月来因伊朗局势持续紧张,美英两国在该区域的协调频频出现在国务院通稿中。就在同一天,美英等29国刚发表联合声明谴责伊朗涉费尔福德皇家空军基地未遂恐袭,此次通话纪要中“继续合作保障美国在英资产”的表述,与该声明同属一条线索。

Rubio Speaks With UK Foreign Secretary Miliband on Hormuz Transit, Iran Accountability
Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke on October 12 with UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband, according to a readout issued by the State Department's Office of the Spokesman (attributable to Spokesman Tommy Pigott).
The two reiterated their shared commitment to safeguarding transit in the Strait of Hormuz and the importance of holding Iran to account for its actions, as well as continued collaboration to secure U.S. assets in the United Kingdom. Secretary Rubio reaffirmed the value of the close U.S.-UK partnership to stabilize global energy markets while also bringing the Russia-Ukraine conflict to an end through a negotiated settlement.
The call came the same day the United States, the United Kingdom and 27 other nations issued a joint statement condemning Iran over an attempted attack at RAF Fairford.
