According to reports from Iranian state media, Iran has executed a ballistic missile strike against American military targets deployed within Jordanian territory.

イラン国営メディアの報道によれば、イランはヨルダン領内に展開する米軍の標的に対し弾道ミサイルによる攻撃を敢行した

This act, strategically and deliberately undertaken as retaliation for the most recent American offensive, has served to further exacerbate the already volatile regional situation.

この行動は米軍が直近に実施した攻撃への報復として戦略的かつ意図的に講じられたものであり地域情勢の緊迫化を一層深刻化させるものとなった

This constitutes the latest salvo in an escalating cycle of retaliation, coming in direct response to the United States military's publicized claim that, over the preceding 48 hours, it had sunk five tankers transporting Iranian crude oilan action undertaken subsequent to having sustained two separate assaults by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps against American naval vessels.

これは米軍が過去48時間にわたりイラン革命防衛隊による米艦艇への二度にわたる攻撃を受けた後イラン産原油を輸送するタンカー5隻を撃沈した公表したことを受けての最新の応酬としての報復行為である

When queried about the particulars of the assault on the airbase situated in Jordan, U.S. Central Command asserted that no information was presently available for disclosure.

米中央軍はヨルダンに所在する航空基地に対する攻撃の詳細について照会を受けた際現時点において開示し得る情報は存在しないとの見解を示した

According to the Central Command's announcement, the Iranian-flagged tankers sunk in the attack are said to be the Kivik, the Chalmarnar, the Horizon 1, and the Riesco, all of which had been deployed in the Gulf of Oman.

中央軍の発表によれば攻撃によって撃沈されたイラン籍のタンカーはオマーン湾に展開していたキビクチャルミナールホライズン1、そしてリエスコの各船であるとされる

Furthermore, the U.S. military also targeted for destruction the vessel Deliya, situated in the waters off Kharg Island in the Strait of Hormuz.

さらに米軍はホルムズ海峡のハルク島近海に位置するデリヤ船もまた破壊の対象とした

The Central Command officially announced that, prior to the assault, all crew members aboard the five vessels had been ordered to abandon their ships.

中央軍は攻撃に先立って5隻の乗組員全員に対し船舶を放棄するよう命じられていたことを公式に発表した

This strike was executed a mere three days after U.S. forces had destroyed three Iranian oil tankers, having detected an attempted assault by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on an American aircraft carrier and destroyer.

今回の攻撃は米軍がイラン革命防衛隊による米空母および駆逐艦への攻撃企図を察知した後イラン石油タンカー3隻を撃破した僅か3日後に敢行されたものである

Iranian state television, in its coverage of the American assault, likewise reported that U.S. forces had targeted no fewer than three Iranian-flagged oil tankers in the vicinity of the southern port of Jask and near Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf.

イラン国営放送もまた、米軍による攻撃を報じるにあたり米軍が南部のジャスク港近郊およびペルシャ湾上のハルク島付近において、イラン籍の石油タンカー少なくとも3隻標的としたと伝えた

The crew members are understood to have evacuated.

乗組員ら退避したとされている

Secretary of State Marco Rubio categorically repudiated any conceivable notion that the United States might turn a blind eye to Iranian aggression, unequivocally articulating a stance of unwavering refusal to countenance such actions under any circumstances.

マルコ・ルビオ国務長官は米国がイランの攻撃を黙過するいかなる可能性も断固として否定し、これに対し断じて看過することはないとの立場を明確に表明した

"Iran persists relentlessly in its attacks on United States naval vessels.

イランは米海軍艦艇に対する攻撃を執拗に継続している

And each time they undertake or even contemplate such actions, they will incur the forfeiture of their tankers.

そして彼らがそのような行動を実行に移すかあるいは企図するたびに、タンカーを喪失するという代償を払うことになるだろう。

"I am convinced that we shall once again witness that very spectacle today," Mr. Rubio told the press on Tuesday, when queried about the latest assault on Iran during his visit to Colombia.

本日その光景を再び目撃することになると私は確信しているとルビオ氏はコロンビア歴訪中にイランへの最新の攻撃について問われた際火曜日に報道陣に対して述べた。

Danny Citrinowicz, a scholar specializing in Iranian affairs at the Institute for National Security Studies in Israel, has issued a stark admonition that the reciprocal nature of such exchanges portends a perilous amplification of retaliatory cycles, thereby exacerbating the deleterious ramifications for the global economy.

ダニー・シトリノヴィッチ氏はイスラエル国家安全保障研究所においてイラン問題を専門とする識者であるが同氏はかかる応酬の応報がさらなる報復の連鎖を増幅させ世界経済に及ぼす影響を一層深刻化させる危険性を孕んでいると警告を発した

"No military solution can exist for the Strait of Hormuz issue," he declared on social media.

ホルムズ海峡問題には軍事的解決策は存在し得ない彼はソーシャルメディア上で言明した

"Any attempt to impose a military resolution would merely propel Washington and Tehran into a vortex of escalation whose control would become progressively more arduous to maintain."

軍事的解決を強要せんとする試みはワシントンとテヘランをその制御が次第に困難を極めるであろうエスカレーションの渦中へと追いやるにすぎない。」

The correspondent for Iranian state television stationed in Jask reported that an Iranian-flagged tanker had come under attack off the coast of Yemen, adding that although another detonation had been detected in the same waters, pinpointing its origin and precise location with any immediacy had proven elusive.

ジャスクに駐在するイラン国営テレビの特派員はイラン籍のタンカーがイエクベニ沿岸沖において攻撃を受けたと報告しさらに同海域で別の爆発音が観測されたもののその発生源および正確な位置については、直ちに特定することは困難であったと述べた。

Subsequently, the state broadcaster reported that U.S. forces had designated a second tanker as the target of an attack in the waters off Jask.

国営放送はその後米軍がジャスク沖の海域において第二のタンカーを攻撃対象としたと報じた

It was stated that the crews of both vessels had taken to lifeboats and were in the process of evacuating toward the coast of Jask.

両船舶の乗組員らは救命ボートを利用しジャスク海岸へ向けて避難中であると述べられた

Separately, the state broadcaster reported that an Iranian-flagged tanker had come under attack at its anchorage off Kharg Island.

別途国営放送はイラン船籍のタンカーがハルク島の停泊地において攻撃を受けた報じた

Immediately following the assault, it was stated that the crew had successfully completed their evacuation.

その攻撃の直後乗組員らは無事に避難を完了したと述べた

On Tuesday, the naval arm of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a stark admonition to the crews of oil tankers anchored in the vicinity of Kuwaiti and Bahraini port installations, cautioning that their vessels could be deemed legitimate targets in retaliation for the American military's assault on an Iranian-flagged tanker, and urged them to abandon ship forthwith.

イラン革命防衛隊海軍は火曜日クウェート及びバーレーンの港湾施設近傍に停泊中の石油タンカー乗組員らに対し米軍によるイラン籍タンカーへの攻撃に対する報復措置として当該船舶が標的となり得る旨を警告し直ちに離船するよう勧告した

Moreover, it levelled scathing denunciations at both Kuwait and Bahrain, contending that by acquiescing to the presence of American forces on their soil, they had rendered themselves complicit in the offensive operations.

さらにクウェートとバーレーンが米軍の駐留を受け入れその攻撃作戦に加担しているとして、両国を厳しく非難した

On Saturday, the U.S. military announced that, in response to its naval vessels having been designated as targets of ballistic missile attacks, it had conducted strikes against three Iranian oil tankers, issuing a warning that it would, should the need arise, annihilate Iran's vulnerable and exposed petroleum fleet.

土曜日米軍は海軍艦艇が弾道ミサイルによる攻撃対象とされたことを受け、イラン石油タンカー3隻に対する攻撃を実施した発表し「必要とあらば、イランの脆弱かつ露出した石油艦隊を壊滅せしめる」との警告を発した

In retaliation, Iran stated that it was poised to declare imminently a new "exclusion zone" targeting vessels attempting to traverse the vicinity of the Strait of Hormuz.

これに対しイランはホルムズ海峡近傍を通過しようとする船舶を標的とした新たな「排除区域」近く宣言する構えである述べた

This latest salvo constitutes a component of a dual-pronged economic and military strategy, executed while President Donald Trump labors with consummate exertion to bring to a close a conflict with Tehran that has persisted for over six months.

今回の最新の攻撃ドナルド・トランプ大統領テヘランとの半年以上に及ぶ戦争終結させんと苦心惨憺する中での、経済的・軍事的な二正面戦略の一環である。

On Tuesday, the Trump administration imposed sanctions on additional segments of Iran's aviation industry, designating over twenty commercial airlines, civil aviation companies, and foreign cargo transport service providers as targets in a novel strategic endeavor to utterly sever Tehran from its remaining trading partners.

トランプ政権は火曜日イランの航空産業の追加部門に対する制裁を発動しテヘランを残存する貿易相手国から完全に隔離せんとする新たな戦略的施策として20以上の商業航空会社民間航空会社ならびに外国の貨物輸送サービス提供事業者を標的に指定した。

In the lead-up to hostilities, the United States and Iran have been locked in a ferocious contest for command of the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly one-fifth of the world's petroleum supply had been transiting.

米国とイランは開戦に先立ち世界の石油供給量の約五分の一が通過していたホルムズ海峡の制海権をめぐり激しい角逐を繰り広げている

The surge in energy prices has emerged as an acutely pressing political exigency for President Trump and the Republican Party, with the November midterm elections looming on the horizon.

エネルギー価格の高騰十一月の中間選挙を目前に控えたトランプ大統領と共和党にとって極めて焦眉の政治的課題となっている。

Brent crude, the international benchmark, spiked on Tuesday to as high as $99.46 per barrel at one juncture.

国際指標であるブレント原油は火曜日一時一バレル当たり九十九・四六ドルまで急騰した。

The American blockade of Iranian ports is strangling the Iranian economy by curtailing its petroleum exports, even as U.S. naval forces facilitate the passage of a limited number of vessels through the shipping lanes of the Strait of Hormuz off the coast of Oman.

米国によるイラン港の封鎖は、石油輸出を制限することでイラン経済を圧迫している一方米軍はオマーン沖のホルムズ海峡を通る航路限られた数の船舶の通過を支援している

Tehran, for its part, is demanding that vessels adhere to the routes it has selected through the strait, which prior to the outbreak of hostilities was regarded as an international waterway.

テヘランは戦争前に国際水路とみなされていた海峡を自らが選んだ航路に従うよう船舶に求めている
