Notwithstanding the protracted and intractable hostilities between the United States and Iran, the Trump administration has nonetheless issued visas to several senior Iranian officialsincluding the president and the foreign ministerso that they may attend next week's high-level segment of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

儘管美伊兩國深陷膠著戰事,川普政府仍已核發簽證予伊朗多名高階官員——包括總統與外交部長——俾其出席下週於紐約召開之聯合國大會高級別會議。

The State Department announced on Thursday that it had issued visas to Iran's "core delegation" and its essential accompanying personnel so that they might attend the United Nations conference.

國務院於週四宣佈已核發簽證予伊朗核心代表團及其必要隨行人員俾便出席聯合國會議

It is understood that US officials, who requested anonymity owing to visa privacy regulations, disclosed that the core delegation's members include President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

據悉因簽證隱私法規而要求匿名之美國官員透露該核心代表團成員涵蓋總統馬蘇德·佩澤什基安外交部長阿巴斯·阿拉格奇

This move is highly unusual, given that the discord between Iran and the United States has persisted for over six months, and no agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or resume negotiations on Iran's nuclear program shows any sign of being imminent.

此舉殊非尋常伊朗與美國之齟齬已逾半載,而重啟霍爾木茲海峽恢復伊朗核計畫談判之協議,仍未見任何即將達成之跡象

It also coincides with an escalation by the Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen in their attacks on Saudi infrastructure and on shipping in the Red Seaanother major maritime route in the region, whose obstruction has helped drive up global oil prices.

此舉亦適逢伊朗所扶植之葉門胡塞武裝加劇對沙烏地基礎設施紅海航運之襲擊——紅海乃該地區另一條主要海上航線其梗阻已助推全球油價飆升

Furthermore, Washington asserts that Tehran remains the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism; the United States has imposed stringent sanctions on the country and, in recent weeks, has launched a fresh round of measures aimed at severing its "critical financial lifeline."

此外華盛頓方面指稱德黑蘭仍為全球首屈一指的國家級恐怖主義贊助者美方已對該國施加嚴厲制裁並於近數週內啟動新一輪舉措意在截斷關鍵金融生命線」。

As the host country of the United Nations headquarters, the United States is generally not in a position to obstruct foreign leaders from coming to attend the General Assembly.

作為聯合國總部的東道國美國在阻撓外國領導人前來參加大會方面通常力有未逮。

However, it has in the past indeed refused to issue visas to leaders engaged in active conflict with the United States, or discouraged them from submitting applications.

然而過往確曾拒發簽證與美國處於活躍衝突中的領導人勸阻提出申請

As for last year's United Nations gathering of world leadersconvened before the outbreak of the Iran war on February 28, yet after the United States and Israel launched airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June 2025the State Department likewise approved visas for a handful of Iranian diplomats, albeit while imposing stringent restrictions on the delegation's movements.

就去年聯合國世界領導人會議而言——該會議召開於2月28日伊朗戰爭爆發之前卻又在美國與以色列於2025年6月對伊朗核設施發動空襲之後——國務院亦核准了少數伊朗外交官簽證對代表團之行動施加了嚴格限制

These restrictions encompass a stringent delineation of the distance Iranian officials may travel within New York City from their United Nations mission premises, and they prohibit such individuals from making purchases at warehouse membership outlets such as Costco and Sam's Club.

這些限制涵蓋對伊朗官員自其聯合國代表團駐地於紐約市內所能通行距離之嚴格界定,並禁止彼等於Costco與Sam's Club等批發會員制賣場進行採購。

The State Department's rejection of the visa applications submitted by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his delegation to attend the conference came merely a day after the announcement of the visa decision concerning Iran.

國務院駁回巴勒斯坦總統馬哈茂德·阿巴斯及其代表團赴會簽證申請之舉伊朗簽證決定之宣布僅隔一日

"In accordance with the host-country obligations we bear, a core delegation of the Iranian regime will be permitted to attend the high-level week of the United Nations General Assembly," the State Department stated.

依據吾等所承擔之東道國義務伊朗政權之核心代表團將獲准出席聯合國大會高級別週,」國務院表示

"The delegation will be subject to travel restrictions and, in line with our policy, will face a ban on the purchase of luxury goods and other commodities.

該代表團將受旅行限制之約束,並依循我方政策面臨奢侈品及其他商品之採購禁令

The size of the delegation has been reduced compared with last year."

代表團規模較去年有所縮減。」

The State Department accused the Palestinian Authority, which governs parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, of seeking to "internationalize" the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza by filing cases with the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, and of continuing to pay stipends to prisoners held by Israel for attacks on Israelis.

國務院指控管理以色列所佔領之西岸部分地區巴勒斯坦權力機構企圖加薩的以色列—哈馬斯戰爭國際化」,向國際法院及國際刑事法院提起訴訟並持續因襲擊以色列人而遭以色列羈押之囚犯發放津貼

The Palestinian Authority condemned the move, characterising Israel's actions as "a genuine threat to the two-state solution and the prospects for peace".

巴勒斯坦權力機構譴責此舉並稱以色列的行動對兩國解決方案與和平前景的真正威脅」。

It further stated that it remained committed to the long-stalled negotiations, while defending its efforts to secure recognition of Palestinian statehood through international bodies and courts.

它還表示仍致力於長期停滯的談判但為其通過國際機構和法院爭取巴勒斯坦承認的努力辯護。

"Punitive measures and restrictions imposed on Palestinian officials not only fail to advance peace or combat violence," the authority's foreign ministry said in a statement, "but they also weaken those Palestinian partners who are committed to a political solution and embolden those forces that are bent on undermining the two-state solution and seek to impose by force the fait accompli of occupation, settlement and annexation."

對巴勒斯坦官員施加的懲罰性措施與限制非但無助於推進和平或打擊暴力,」該權力機構外交部於一份聲明中表示,「反倒削弱了那些致力於政治解決方案的巴勒斯坦夥伴,並助長了那些處心積慮破壞兩國解決方案意圖以武力強加佔領、定居與兼併既成事實的勢力。」

The United States does not recognise the Palestinian Authority as the government of a full member state of the United Nations; nevertheless, the General Assembly, along with the various UN agencies and organisations, does accord it such recognition.

美國並不承認巴勒斯坦權力機構為聯合國之正式會員國政府;然而,聯合國大會暨各聯合國機構與組織則予以承認。
