🇺🇸 English

On Friday, the Trump administration announced that it had imposed sanctions on a Turkish financial institution, marking the latest move in its efforts to sever what it described as the Iranian government's "vital financial lifeline."

特朗普政府于周五宣告已对一家土耳其金融机构施加制裁此举系其旨在切断伊朗政府关键金融命脉”的最新一轮举措

The sanctions against Golden Global Yatirim Bankasi Anonim Sirketi were imposed in the wake of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's launch of "Operation Economic Exile" last week.

针对Golden Global Yatirim Bankasi Anonim Sirketi的制裁行动是在财政部长斯科特·贝森特上周发起“经济放逐行动”之后进行的。

This represents Washington's latest endeavor, following over six months of conflict, to further isolate an already heavily sanctioned Iran and sever its ties with remaining trading partners, thereby compelling it to capitulate to American demands.

这是华盛顿在六个多月的战争后试图进一步孤立已受严厉制裁的伊朗切断与剩余贸易伙伴的联系迫使其屈服于美国要求的新举措。

The Treasury alleged that this Turkish bank and its affiliated entities were established to facilitate the transfer of Iran's oil revenues from China to Turkey, where they could be converted into cash and gold.

财政部指称这家土耳其银行及其关联实体系为协助伊朗将石油收益自中国转移至土耳其而设,以便在当地兑换为现金与黄金

The department further noted that the institution knowingly and deliberately provided banking services to Iranian financial entities, including those sanctioned by the U.S. government for their role in channeling funds from Tehran's oil sales in 2022.

该部进一步指出该机构在知情的情况下蓄意向伊朗金融实体提供银行服务其中包括那些因在2022年协助输送德黑兰石油销售资金遭美国政府制裁的实体。

Earlier in the week, Bessent had indicated that another bank would face financial penalties; by Friday, however, he pointed out that financial institutions linked to Iran would "continually become aware of the price exacted by our rigorous enforcement of 'Operation Economic Exile'."

贝森特在本周早些时候曾表示另一家银行将面临经济处罚而他在周五则指出与伊朗存在关联的金融机构将“不断意识到我们严格执行‘经济放逐行动’所付出的代价”。

In his Friday press release, he stated: "While we hope that further sanctions on additional banks will prove unnecessary, the ultimate outcome hinges on how swiftly the international community can come to terms with reality and cease its support for the brutal Iranian regime.

在周五的新闻稿中表示:“尽管我们希望无需再对更多银行实施制裁但最终结果取决于国际社会能以多快速度认清现实停止对残暴伊朗政权的支持

We are fully aware of your identities and whereabouts, and we will continue to act in concert with our allies and partners until this malignant tumor that is Iran is completely eradicated."

我们清楚你们的身份掌握你们的行踪,并将继续与盟友及合作伙伴协同行动直至彻底铲除伊朗这枚毒瘤。”

Yet to date, the objective of compelling those nations still engaged in economic and trade relations with Iran to sever financial ties or face American retaliation has remained elusive;

然而迄今为止迫使那些仍与伊朗保持经贸往来的国家切断金融联系否则便面临美国报复这一目标始终未能实现

Meanwhile, the promised "economic D-Day" aimed at a host of countries, potentially including China and India, has swiftly devolved into mere warnings and diplomatic maneuvering directed at Iran's trading partners.

针对可能涵盖中国与印度在内的一众国家所承诺的“经济D日”迅速蜕变为对伊朗贸易伙伴的警告与斡旋

Bessent had previously confided to reporters that he hoped nations would extricate themselves from dependence on Iran in a timely manner, lest the global financial system be upended.

贝森特此前向记者坦言他希望各国能及时摆脱对伊朗的依赖以免全球金融体系遭到颠覆

The Trump administration's evident reluctance to penalize major trading partners that continue commercial dealings with Iran was laid bare last week when Washington imposed restrictive measures on an Egyptian bank's operations in the UAE, stopping short of resorting to sanctions.

特朗普政府显然不愿仍与伊朗保持商贸往来的主要贸易伙伴施以惩戒,这一点在上周美方针对一家埃及银行在阿联酋的业务采取限制性措施却未诉诸制裁手段时,已显露无遗

The United States has also recently resumed military strikes, prompting Iran to undertake retaliatory actions in the region.

美国近期恢复了军事打击促使伊朗在该地区采取报复行动

It remains unclear what impact this dual-pronged strategy will have on President Donald Trump, who, amid rising energy prices and troubles for the Republican Party ahead of the November midterm elections, has struggled to bring an end to an unpopular war against a defiant Iranian regime.

目前尚不清楚这种双管齐下的策略总统唐纳德·特朗普会产生何种影响——能源价格攀升、11月中期选举共和党带来麻烦之际,始终难以结束一场顽固伊朗政权不得人心的战争

The latest round of US sanctions targets a global investment bank operating in the gold sector.

最新一轮美国制裁所针对的,是黄金领域全球性投资银行

According to the bank's official website, it was established in 2019, making it Turkey's first investment bank to offer "banking services and alternative financing solutions" to foreign-invested enterprises.

据该行官网披露其成立于2019年土耳其首家面向外资企业提供银行服务及替代性融资方案”的投资银行

This Istanbul-headquartered bank remains largely unfamiliar to the vast majority of the Turkish public, and its strategic objective lies in expanding Turkey's foreign trade footprint by leveraging neighboring countries as its target market.

这家总部设于伊斯坦布尔的银行对于绝大多数土耳其民众而言尚属陌生其战略目标在于通过邻国这一目标市场拓展土耳其的对外贸易版图

A day prior to the Treasury Department's announcement, Turkey's state-owned bank Halkbank declared that it had reached a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice regarding a case spanning nine years, which involved violations of sanctions against Iran.

财政部发布声明的前一天土耳其国有银行Halkbank宣布,其一宗历时九年涉及违反伊朗制裁的案件与美国司法部达成了和解

In this case, senior officials of Halkbank are alleged to have illicitly transferred approximately $20 billion in Iranian oil proceeds.

在该案中Halkbank的高级官员据称非法转移约200亿美元伊朗石油收益

US prosecutors have alleged that high-ranking Turkish government officials accepted millions of dollars in bribes to shield the scheme.

美国检察官指控土耳其政府高层官员收受数百万美元的贿赂以庇护这一计划

The Halkbank case once caused a profound rift in U.S.-Turkish relations, with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan personally lobbying the White House to press for the case's dismissal.

Halkbank案曾导致美土关系出现深刻裂痕土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安曾亲自向白宫游说力促撤销此案
