On Friday, the Trump administration announced that it would impose sanctions on Turkish financial institutions as part of its latest efforts to sever what it called a "vital financial lifeline" for the Iranian government.

トランプ政権は金曜日イラン政府に対する「重要な金融の生命線」を断ち切るための最新の取り組みの一環としてトルコの金融機関に制裁を科すと発表した

The action against Golden Global Yatirim Bankasi Anonim Sirketi came after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent launched 'Operation Economic Outcast' last week, a fresh Washington initiative aimed at isolating an already heavily sanctioned Iran from its remaining trading partners in an effort to force the country to capitulate to US demands after more than six months of war.

ゴールデン・グローバル・ヤティリム・バンカシ・アノニム・シルケティ(Golden Global Yatirim Bankasi Anonim Sirketi)に対する行動はスコット・ベセント財務長官先週6か月以上の戦争を経てイランを米国の要求に屈伏させようとするすでに厳しく制裁されているイランを残りの貿易相手国から孤立させるためのワシントンの新たな取り組みである『経済的追放作戦(Operation Economic Outcast)』開始した後に出された

The Treasury accused this Turkish bank and its affiliates of having been established with the aim of enabling efforts that would allow Iran to transfer oil revenues from China to Turkey, where they could be converted into cash or gold.

財務省はこのトルコの銀行とその関連会社がイランが中国からトルコへ石油収入を移転しそこで現金や金に換金できるようにするための取り組みを可能にする目的で設立されたと非難した

It further stated that the institution had 'deliberately' provided banking services to Iranian financial entities, including those already sanctioned by the U.S. government in 2022 for having transferred Tehran's oil sale proceeds.

またこの機関は2022年にテヘランの石油販売を送金したとして米国政府によってすでに制裁されているイランの金融機関を含むイランの金融機関に『故意に』銀行サービスを提供したと述べた

Secretary Bessent, who had earlier in the week stated that another bank would face economic penalties, remarked that financial institutions linked to Iran 'will continue to learn, to their bitter dismay, how serious we are about our campaign of economic exile.'

ベセント長官は今週初めに別の銀行が経済的罰則に直面すると述べていたが、イランと関係のある金融機関は『経済的追放作戦に対する我々の真剣さを引き続き苦い思いで知ることになるだろう』と述べた

"We hope that no further banks need to be sanctioned, but that ultimately depends on how swiftly the international community regains its senses and ceases its support for the murderous Iranian regime," he stated in a press release on Friday.

『我々は、これ以上の銀行が制裁される必要がないことを望むが、それは最終的には国際社会がどれほど迅速に正気を取り戻し殺人的なイラン政権への支持をやめるかかかっている』と、金曜日のプレスリリースで述べた

"We know who you are and where you are.

『我々はあなた方が誰であるかを知っておりどこにいるのかも知っている。

And we will continue to act alongside our allies and partners until the head of the Iranian snake is buried."

そしてイランの蛇の頭を埋めるまで、同盟国やパートナーと共に行動を続けるだろう。』

However, the goal of compelling companies that continue to do business with Iran to either sever financial ties or face U.S. retaliation has so far remained unattained, and the promise of an "economic D-Day" against countries that could include China and India soon turned into warnings and, subsequently, into negotiations with Iran's trading partners.

しかしながらこれまでのところイランと依然として取引を継続している企業に対し、金融関係を断つか米国の報復に直面するかを迫るという目標は未達成であり、中国やインドを含む可能性のある諸国に対する「経済的なDデイ」の約束は、ほどなく警告へと変わりさらにはイランとの貿易相手国との交渉へと転じた

Secretary Bessent had previously told reporters that, in order to avoid disrupting the global financial system, he hoped countries would have the opportunity to disengage from Iran before it was too late.

ベセント長官は以前世界の金融システムを混乱させることを回避するため手遅れになる前に各国がイランから離脱する機会を得ることを望んでいたと、記者団に語っていた

The Trump administration's reluctance to penalize major trading partners that continue to do business with Iran became evident last week, when the United States took measures to restrict the operations of an Egyptian bank in the United Arab Emirates but stopped short of imposing sanctions.

トランプ政権が依然としてイランと取引している主要な貿易相手国を罰するのをためらっていることは、先週、米国がアラブ首長国連邦におけるエジプトの銀行の事業を制限する措置を取ったものの、制裁を科すには至らなかったことから明らかになった。

The United States has also resumed military strikes in recent days, provoking Iranian retaliation in the region.

米国はまたここ数日で軍事攻撃を再開しており、地域におけるイランの報復を誘発している

It remains unclear what consequences this two-front strategy will yield for President Donald Trump.

この二正面戦略がドナルド・トランプ大統領にとってどのような帰結をもたらすかは依然として不透明である

The president, grappling with soaring energy prices and an issue that has become troublesome for the Republicans ahead of November's midterm elections, is struggling to bring an end to an unpopular war against an Iranian government that refuses to compromise.

同大統領はエネルギー価格の高騰と11月の中間選挙を控えて共和党にとって厄介な問題となっていることから妥協を拒むイラン政府との不人気な戦争を終結させるのに苦心している

The latest target of US sanctions was Golden Global Investment Bank, which was established in 2019 as Turkey's first investment bank.

最新の米国制裁の標的となったのは、ゴールデン・グローバル・インベストメント銀行(Golden Global Investment Bank)であり2019年にトルコ初の投資銀行として設立された

According to the bank's website, it offers foreign companies "banking services and alternative financing methods."

同行のウェブサイトによれば外国企業に対して銀行サービスと代替融資方法」を提供しているという

Although this Istanbul-based bank is barely known to the majority of Turkish citizens, it aims to expand Turkey's foreign trade through target markets in neighboring countries.

イスタンブールに本拠を置くこの銀行は、大多数のトルコ国民にはほとんど認知されていないものの、周辺諸国のターゲット市場を介してトルコの対外貿易を拡大することを目論んでいる。

The finance ministry's announcement came the day after Turkey's state-owned Halkbank revealed that it had reached a settlement with the US Department of Justice in a nine-year legal battle over sanctions violations against Iran.

財務省の発表はトルコの国営ハルクバンク(Halkbank)がイランに対する制裁違反を巡る9年に及ぶ訴訟において米国司法省との和解に至った公表した翌日行われた

In that case, executives of Halkbank are alleged to have illicitly transferred approximately $20 billion in revenues from Iranian oil.

その訴訟においてハルクバンクの幹部らは約200億ドル相当のイラン産石油収入を不正に移転したとされる

US prosecutors contended that senior Turkish government officials had accepted millions of dollars in bribes in return for shielding the scheme.

米国検察当局はトルコ政府高官らがこのスキームを庇護する見返りとして数百万ドルの賄賂を受領したと主張した

The Halkbank affair inflicted a serious rift in diplomatic relations between the United States and Turkey, prompting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to personally lobby the White House for the case to be dropped.
