The U.S. military announced that, following a month-long cessation of military operations, it has resumed strikes against targets within Iranian territory amid the renewed escalation of hostilities.

米軍は一か月間にわたる軍事行動の休止を経て、敵対行為が再び激化する中イラン領内の標的に対する攻撃を再開した発表した

On Tuesday, the United States Central Command articulated that the strikes were a direct response to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) assaults on merchant vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, as well as their attempted attacks on American military personnel deployed in the region.

米中央軍火曜日今回の攻撃は「イラン革命防衛隊(IRGC)によるホルムズ海峡における商船への攻撃と、地域に展開する米軍兵士への攻撃の試みを受けたものであると表明した

On Sunday, the U.S. military announced that it had struck rocket launchers located on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz.

In a retaliatory response, Iran launched missiles at a U.S. military installation in Jordan, all of which were successfully intercepted.

President Donald Trump conceded on Monday that the necessity for further strikes could conceivably arise.

ドナルド・トランプ大統領月曜日更なる攻撃の必要性が生じ得ることを認めた

Mr. Trump propounded the contention that, as a consequence of the bombing campaign waged by the United States and Israel, Iran has been reduced to the status of a failed state.

トランプ氏は米国とイスラエルによる爆撃作戦の結果イランが「失敗国家」と化したとの主張を展開した

He averred that the preponderance of Iran's political leadership had been annihilated, that its economy had sustained grievous damage owing to rampant inflation, and that its military prowess had been utterly decimated.

同氏はイランの政治指導部の大部分が壊滅し経済は急激なインフレーションによって深刻な打撃を被り軍事力は完全に崩壊したと述べた

Nevertheless, Trump acknowledged the possibility that further strikes might be warranted.

それでもトランプ氏は更なる攻撃を要する可能性を是認した

"That does not imply that we shall abstain from striking them," Trump articulated to the assembled press.

The United States and Iran have remained in a state of intermittent hostilities for over six months, with the most recent cessation of hostilities persisting for a month.

米国とイランは半年余りにわたり断続的な交戦状態を継続しており直近の戦闘休止は一か月間持続した

Should the conflict escalate once more into full-scale war, it would precipitate an exceedingly perilous situation for the region.

全面戦争へと再発展すればこの地域にとって極めて危険な事態を招来するであろう

Since the outbreak of hostilities, Iran has consistently targeted American military installations and infrastructure deployed across the Gulf states.

イランは開戦以来湾岸諸国に展開する米軍基地及びインフラを標的としてきた

Iran's state broadcaster reported that explosions were heard in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas, yet it refrained from offering any elaboration whatsoever on the matter.

イラン国営放送は南部の港湾都市バンダル・アッバースにおいて爆発音が聴取された報じたもののその詳細については一切の言及を控えた

The resurgence of hostilities also comes on the heels of what appeared to be a pivot last month by Mr. Trump toward economic pressure through sanctions.

戦闘再燃はトランプ氏が先月制裁による経済的圧力に軸足を移したように見えた後のことでもある

The president had promised an "economic D-Day" for a nation that has withstood nearly five decades of unrelenting American sanctions.

大統領はほぼ50年にわたる苛烈な米国の制裁に耐え抜いてきた国に対し、「経済的Dデイ」を約束していた

The Trump administration contended that it was merely a matter of time, and that striking the appropriate economic targets would drive Tehran to the brink.

トランプ政権は時間の問題であり適切な経済的標的を攻撃すればテヘランを限界点に追い込めると主張していた

Meanwhile, the United States' stockpiles of high-tech weaponry were dwindling, the war was unpopular among the American public, and it could deal a blow to the Republicans in the November midterm elections.

一方米国の高性能兵器の備蓄は減少しており戦争は米国民に不人気で11月の中間選挙で共和党に打撃を与える可能性がある

The United States military is endeavoring to characterize the resurgent hostilities as being of a circumscribed nature.

米軍は再燃した戦闘を限定的なものとして位置づけようと試みている

In a statement disseminated via X on Monday, Central Command asserted that the strikes executed against Iranian targets on Sunday were specifically tailored to preclude the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from laying fresh naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

中央軍は月曜日にX上で発表した声明において日曜日にイラン標的に対して実施した攻撃はイスラム革命防衛隊(IRGC)がホルムズ海峡に新たな機雷を敷設するのを阻止することに特化したものであったと述べた

"U.S. forces executed a measured and meticulously calibrated operation against the IRGC's mine-laying unit, which had been precipitating an imminent threat in the Strait of Hormuz," CENTCOM asserted.

米軍はホルムズ海峡において差し迫った脅威を惹起していたIRGCの機雷敷設部隊に対し限定的かつ精緻な行動を講じたと中央軍は言明した

"In other words, Iran cultivated the threat, and U.S. forces eliminated it to safeguard civilian mariners, merchant vessels, and the unimpeded flow of global commerce."

換言すればイランが脅威を醸成し米軍は民間船員、商船、そして世界商業の自由な流通を防衛すべくそれを排除したのである」

On Tuesday, CENTCOM reiterated its stance that the strikes were executed solely in response to Iranian attacks on commercial vessels and US forces deployed in the region.

中央軍は火曜日攻撃はイランによる商船および地域に展開する米軍部隊への攻撃の後にのみ遂行されたとの見解を改めて強調した。
