CNN News: 美国指责伊朗恐怖袭击

Hi, I’m Carl Azuz. Today’s edition of CNN 10 begins in the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage of water between the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. This Middle Eastern strait, which his 21 miles wide, is important to the global economy. About 30 percent of the world’s crude oil passes through it.

大家好，我是卡尔·阿祖兹。今天的CNN 10分钟新闻从霍尔木兹海峡开始，霍尔木兹海峡是波斯湾和阿曼湾之间的一条狭窄水道。这条21英里宽的中东海峡对世界经济很重要。世界上大约30%的原油要经过这里。

Now, a United States carrier strike group has been deployed the strait. It includes an aircraft carrier, the USS Abraham Lincoln, as well as destroyers, a guided missile cruiser and a group bomber aircraft. Why are they all headed to the Middle East? It’s to send a message to the nation of Iran.

现在，美国航母战斗群已经部署在该海峡。它包括一艘航空母舰，亚伯拉罕·林肯号，以及驱逐舰，一艘导弹巡洋舰和一架轰炸机。为什么他们都去中东?这是向伊朗国家发出的信息。

It forms the northern border of the Strait of Hormuz. And American officials say they have specific incredible intelligence that the Iranian military and groups that operate beneath it are planning to target U.S. forces in Syria, Iraq and at sea. Tensions between Iran and the U.S. are soaring. Last month, America declared that part of Iran’s military is a foreign terrorist organization.

它形成了霍尔木兹海峡的北部边界。美国官员表示，他们掌握了令人难以置信的具体情报，伊朗军方及其下属组织正计划针对叙利亚、伊拉克和海上的美国军队。伊朗和美国之间的紧张局势正在加剧。上个月，美国宣布伊朗部分军队是外国恐怖组织。

And Iran responded by declaring the U.S. is a state sponsor of terrorism. Because America accuses Iran of participating in terrorist attacks around the world, it’s trying to pressure Iran to change its behavior. And one way it’s doing that is by blocking Iran’s revenues from oil sales, which are the main source of the country’s foreign income.

伊朗的回应美国是支持恐怖主义的国家。由于美国指责伊朗参与世界各地的恐怖袭击，美国正试图向伊朗施压，要求其改变行为。其中一种方法是阻止伊朗从石油销售中获得收入，而石油销售是伊朗海外收入的主要来源。

Iran has said it would continue finding buyers for its oil and using the Strait of Hormuz to ship it. It also directly warned America not to block or interfere with the strait. But while American officials say the U.S. isn’t seeking war with Iran, it is prepared to respond with, quote, "unrelenting force to any Iranian attacks on American interests or allies."

伊朗表示，将继续为其石油寻找买家，并利用霍尔木兹海峡进行运输。它还直接警告美国不要封锁或干涉该海峡。但是，尽管美国官员说，美国并不寻求与伊朗开战，但美国准备以“对伊朗对美国利益或盟友的任何攻击毫不留情的武力”作为回应。
