The Houthi rebel movement in Yemen has already seized the strategic islands of Greater Hanish and Lesser Hanish in the southern Red Sea, thereby strengthening the capacity of this Iran-backed rebel organization to control a crucial shipping route.

葉門青年運動叛軍業已占領紅海南部之戰略島嶼大哈尼什島與小哈尼什島,從而強化了此一受伊朗扶植之叛軍組織掌控關鍵航運路線之能力。

Meanwhile, two regional officials have indicated that repairs to a vital Saudi Arabian oil pipeline struck last week could well drag on for three to five weeks, leaving the pipeline out of service for the better part of that period.

與此同時,兩名地區官員表示,上周遭襲的一條至關重要的沙烏地阿拉伯輸油管道,其修復工作恐將持續三至五周之久,致使該管道於大部分時日內處於停用狀態。

The following are the latest developments in the Middle East.

Houthi officials disclosed on Monday that the rebels had taken control of the two islands, a move that coincided with efforts by the Saudi-backed government forces to recapture lost territory.

青年運動官員於週一披露叛軍業已接管這兩座島嶼此舉恰逢沙烏地所支持的政府軍力圖收復失土之際。

This came after the rebels mounted a rapid advance around the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a vital alternative shipping route to the Strait of Hormuz.

此前叛軍於曼德海峽周邊展開迅猛推進;該海峽乃霍爾木茲海峽至關緊要之航運替代路線

At the very outset of the war, Iran effectively blockaded the Strait of Hormuza chokepoint that, in peacetime, accommodates one-fifth of the world's oil and gas trade in transit.

伊朗於戰爭伊始便實質上封鎖了霍爾木茲海峽——此一咽喉要道在和平時期承載著全球五分之一的石油與天然氣貿易轉運量

Thereafter, Saudi Arabia turned instead to exporting crude oil on a sustained basis via the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which opens onto the Red Sea.

嗣後沙烏地阿拉伯轉而持續藉由通往紅海的曼德海峽出口原油

The Houthis' latest round of seizures, carried out after they captured the Red Sea port of Mocha and a strategic island last week, has placed yet more severe pressure on Saudi export shipments and, by extension, on global oil supply and prices.

青年運動最新一輪的占領行動乃於上周奪取紅海港口摩卡一座戰略島嶼之後遂行,此舉對沙烏地的出口運輸乃至全球石油供應與價格,均構成了更為沉重的壓力

This move may well confer additional leverage upon Iran in its war with the United States.

此舉或將為伊朗在與美國的戰爭中賦予額外的籌碼。

Saudi Arabia relies on the EastWest Pipeline to transport crude oil from its Persian Gulf ports to its western Red Sea coast ports, whence it is loaded onto tankers for export.

沙烏地阿拉伯仰賴東西管道,將原油自波斯灣港口輸送至其西部紅海沿岸港口,復由該處裝載油輪以供出口。

Two officials familiar with the matter disclosed that repairing the damage caused by the September 10 attack could take weeks, including that to a major pumping facility.

兩名熟悉內情的官員透露,修復9月10日襲擊所造成之損壞,恐需耗時數周,其中包括一座主要泵送設施。

As these officials were not authorised to brief the media, they requested anonymity.

這些官員因未獲授權向媒體通報,故而要求匿名

One of them stated that the pipeline may operate at partial capacity while repair crews carry out their work.

其中一人表示在修復團隊進行作業期間該管道或將處於部分運作狀態

As a major importer of Middle Eastern oil, China characterised the Houthi attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure as "unacceptable" and voiced "deep concern" over the rebels' further escalation of hostilities.

中國身為中東石油的主要進口國,將青年運動對沙烏地能源基礎設施的襲擊定性為「不可接受」,並就叛軍進一步升級行動一事表達「深表關切」。

On Monday, Ismail Baghaei, the spokesperson for Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that Saudi Arabia had "requested" the temporary cancellation of a conference originally intended to bring Iran together with other regional countries to discuss matters concerning the Strait of Hormuz.

伊朗外交部發言人伊斯梅爾·巴蓋伊於週一表示,沙烏地阿拉伯業已「要求」暫時取消原定旨在將伊朗與其他地區國家齊聚一堂、共商霍爾木茲海峽事宜的會議。

Baghai extolled the conference, which had originally been scheduled to be hosted by Oman, as a "fitting opportunity" to restore regional security.

巴蓋伊將這場原定由阿曼主辦的會議,譽為恢復地區安全的「適當機會」。

The spokesperson asserted that the agreement reached between Iran and Oman concerning the Strait of Hormuz had already been finalised and would be announced at a later date.

該發言人聲稱,伊朗與阿曼就霍爾木茲海峽所達成之協議業已敲定,容後公布。

According to a Gulf official well versed in the matter, Saudi Arabia has already submitted amendments to the agreement, on the grounds that it fears the agreement may have a lasting impact on the Strait of Hormuz and thereby inflict adverse repercussions on other member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council.

據一名諳熟內情海灣官員披露,沙烏地阿拉伯業已就該協議提交修正案其理據在於憂慮該協議或將對霍爾木茲海峽構成持久影響進而對其他海灣合作委員會成員國造成負面衝擊

The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.

該官員因未獲授權公開發言而要求匿名

On Monday, Iran issued a scathing condemnation of Austria for refusing to grant visas to its nuclear chief and other delegation members, thereby preventing them from attending the International Atomic Energy Agency conference held in Vienna, denouncing the move as "utterly unreasonable."

伊朗於週一嚴詞譴責奧地利拒絕伊朗核主管及其他代表團成員核發簽證致使彼等無法出席在維也納舉行國際原子能機構大會並斥此舉完全不合理」。

Baghai stated that Tehran had summoned the Austrian chargé d'affaires, and stressed that Austria, as the host country, was under an obligation to issue visas.

巴蓋伊表示德黑蘭已召見奧地利代辦並強調奧地利身為東道國負有核發簽證之義務

Baghei condemned Western nations for depriving Iran of the opportunity to defend itself, and accused the United States of pressuring Austria into refusing to issue the visa.

巴蓋伊譴責西方國家褫奪伊朗自我辯護之契機,並指控美國向奧地利施壓,致使該國拒發簽證。

This visa refusal constitutes part of the United Nations sanctions on Iran that were reinstated last year, which encompass a travel ban targeting Iranian officials.

此次拒簽乃去年恢復之聯合國對伊朗制裁之一環,其中涵括針對伊朗官員之旅行禁令。

On Monday, the United States Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, criticized Iran, asserting that it has failed to cooperate with the United Nations nuclear watchdog.

美國能源部長克里斯·賴特於週一批評伊朗未能聯合國核監督機構展開合作

Wright was especially scathing in his condemnation of the Tehran authorities for refusing to allow United Nations inspectors into Iranian nuclear facilities affected by the war.

賴特尤為嚴詞抨擊德黑蘭當局拒絕聯合國核查人員進入受戰爭波及的伊朗核設施

He asserted that Iran had been given "ample time to address its grave dereliction of duty," adding, "yet the deadline has now passed."

他聲稱伊朗本有充裕的時間來處理對義務的嚴重疏忽」,「然而時限已然屆至」。

Addressing the International Atomic Energy Agency conference in Vienna, Wright made clear that granting Iran more time "would merely postpone the reckoning that is long overdue."

賴特於維也納國際原子能機構大會致辭時闡明,倘若賦予伊朗更充裕的時間,「只會推遲早該到來的問責」。

Wright pointed out that the additional safeguards incorporated into the US-Saudi nuclear agreement encompass "absolutely rigorous" non-proliferation provisions.

賴特指出美沙核協議所納入之額外保障措施涵蓋絕對嚴格之反擴散條款

He affirmed at the IAEA General Conference that the UN nuclear agency "has been part of it from start to finish."

其於國際原子能機構大會上申明聯合國核機構自始至終都是其中一部分」。

The USSaudi agreement was signed in July and may confer upon Saudi Arabia the capacity to enrich uranium for its civilian nuclear programme.

美沙協議業於7月簽署,或將賦予沙烏地為其民用核計劃進行鈾濃縮之能力。

Wright made the above statement in response to a media question; the question asked was why the United States demands that Iran sign an Additional Protocol, yet does not make the same demand of Saudi Arabia.

賴特係於回應媒體提問之際作上述表示該提問所詢者,乃何以美國要求伊朗簽署附加議定書而未同樣要求沙烏地阿拉伯

An Additional Protocol is an agreement concluded between the International Atomic Energy Agency and a state, designed to grant the agency's inspectors broader access rights to nuclear facilities.

附加議定書者國際原子能機構與一國所締結之協議旨在賦予該機構核查人員更廣泛之核設施准入權限

On Monday, the International Organization for Migration reported that nearly 94,000 people in Yemen have been forcibly displaced and driven from their homes since fighting between Iran-backed Houthi rebels and government forces escalated this month.

國際移民組織於週一指出伊朗所支持之青年運動叛軍政府軍之間的戰事於本月升溫以來葉門境內已有近94,000人被迫流離失所逃離家園

The UN agency reported that Taiz and Lahij are the most severely affected governorates, with 48,000 people having been displaced and left destitute thus far, and added that more than 2,000 others have fled across the sea to Djibouti.

該聯合國機構指稱,塔伊茲與拉赫季乃受創至鉅之地區,迄今已有四萬八千人顛沛流離、失所無依,並續稱另有逾兩千人已渡海遁逃至吉布地。

The International Rescue Committee, an aid organisation, has indicated that approximately 200 schools in south-western Yemen have been converted into shelters to accommodate the influx of families.

國際救援委員會此一援助組織指出,葉門西南部約莫200所學校業經改建為避難所,用以收容蜂擁而至的家庭。

There is mounting anxiety and a deepening fear that Yemen is inching ever closer to relapsing into the abyss of civil war.

人們日益憂心忡忡深恐葉門步步逼近重返內戰之淵藪

Before the 2022 ceasefire, the civil war had already claimed 150,000 lives.

在2022年停火之前內戰奪走15萬條人命

The World Health Organization has reported that in the week ending Saturday, more than 500 people lost their livesa marked increase.

世界衛生組織指出截至周六的一週內已有逾500人喪生增幅顯著

Hospital officials and the Ministry of Health both stated that Israeli strikes launched across the Gaza Strip on Monday had killed two people and injured several others.

醫院官員與衛生部均表示,以色列於週一對加薩走廊各地所發動之襲擊,已致兩人喪生、數人受傷。

According to Al-Shifa Hospital and Nasser Hospital, one person was killed in Gaza City, while another lost their life when a tent in Al-Mawasi was struck.

根據希法醫院與納賽爾醫院所述,一人於加薩城遇害,另一人則在穆瓦西的帳篷遭襲時喪生。

The Ministry of Health stated that the aforementioned strikes also left several people injured in Al-Zawaida, in central Gaza, and in Khan Younis, in the south of the territory.

衛生部表示上述襲擊致使加薩中部扎瓦伊達加薩南部汗尤尼斯若干人員負傷

The Israeli military has confirmed the strikes in question, asserting that its targets were militants.

以色列軍方已證實相關襲擊並宣稱打擊對象激進分子

Since the ceasefire last October, the fiercest exchanges of fire between Israel and Hamas have ceased; nevertheless, according to Gaza health officials, Israeli military operations have already claimed the lives of more than 1,360 Palestinians within Gaza.

自去年十月停火以來,以色列與哈馬斯之間最為猛烈的交火已然止息;然而,據加薩衛生官員所述,以色列的軍事行動業已在加薩境內奪去逾1,360名巴勒斯坦人的性命。

On Monday, the Israeli human rights organisation B'Tselem alleged that Israel is pursuing a systematic and steadily accelerating plan whose purpose is to "undermine the very foundations of Palestinian existence in the occupied West Bank".

以色列人權組織B'Tselem於週一指控,以色列正推行一項有系統且持續加速之計劃,其宗旨在於「瓦解巴勒斯坦人於被占領西岸之生存基礎」。

In a recent report, the organization elucidated that the measures carried out by settlers and the military against Palestinians in the West Bank are intended to dismantle Palestinian collective life, "while entrenching a permanent system of Jewish supremacy throughout the region."

該組織於一份最新報告中闡明定居者與軍隊針對西岸巴勒斯坦人所遂行之舉措意在瓦解巴勒斯坦人之集體生活,「同時在整個地區鞏固一套永久的猶太人至上制度」。

During the tenure of the ultranationalist government led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, settler violence has surged dramatically.

在以色列總理班傑明·納坦雅胡所領導之極端民族主義政府主政期間定居者暴力事件呈急遽攀升之勢

Human rights organizations point out that the military repeatedly turns a blind eye to such acts of violence, and when it does intervene, it tends to prioritize shielding the settlers.

人權組織指出軍方對此類暴力行徑屢屢視若無睹而於其介入之際往往側重於對定居者之庇護

B'Tselem's report further alleges that Israel's actions rely to a considerable extent on overt collaboration between state authorities and armed settlers who attack Palestinian communities, while the military either fails to curb the violence or at times even participates in it.

B'Tselem的報告進一步指陳以色列之行動於相當程度上仰賴國家當局襲擊巴勒斯坦社區武裝定居者之間的公然協作而軍方則或未能遏止暴力甚或有時廁身其中

On Monday, the United States Department of the Treasury imposed sweeping sanctions on VTB Bank, one of Russia's largest financial institutionsa move that formed part of an effort to dismantle what remains of Iran's financial lifeline.

美國財政部於週一俄羅斯規模最大的金融機構之一——VTB銀行——祭出全面制裁此舉係為瓦解伊朗殘存金融命脈之舉措的一環

Nevertheless, the practical efficacy of sanctions remains profoundly opaque, inasmuch as the Biden administration likewise imposed sweeping sanctions on the country's banks shortly after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

然而,制裁之實效仍晦暗難明,蓋拜登政府亦於2022年俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭後不久,對該國有銀行施以全面制裁。

Under Trump's administration, American officials now allege that the institution, by establishing correspondent relationships with sanctioned Iranian banks, has been abetting the Islamic Republic in evading sanctions.

在川普主政之下美國官員如今指控該機構藉由與受制裁之伊朗銀行建立代理關係襄助伊斯蘭共和國規避制裁

For years, VTB Bank has persistently expanded its global business footprint, including by opening branches in China, India, and Iran.

多年來VTB銀行持續拓展其全球業務版圖包括在中國、印度及伊朗開設分行
