The Trump administration has approved visas for senior Iranian officials, including the president and the foreign minister, to attend next week's high-level meeting of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, even as the two countries remain locked in a stalemated war.

川普政府已批准伊朗高層官員,包括總統和外交部長的簽證,以出席下週在紐約舉行的聯合國大會高級別會議,儘管兩國正陷入僵持不下的戰爭。

The State Department announced on Thursday that it had issued visas to Iran's "core delegation" and essential staff so that they could attend the United Nations meeting.

國務院於週四宣布已核發簽證給伊朗「核心代表團」及必要工作人員以便其出席聯合國會議

According to U.S. officials who requested anonymity because of visa privacy laws, the core delegation includes President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

根據因簽證隱私法而要求匿名發言的美國官員所述該核心代表團成員涵蓋總統馬蘇德·佩澤什基安與外交部長阿巴斯·阿拉格奇

This move is highly unusual, given that the conflict between Iran and the United States has lasted for more than six months, with no sign of an imminent agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or resume negotiations on Iran's nuclear programme.

此舉非同尋常因為伊朗與美國之間的衝突已持續超過六個月且沒有跡象顯示即將達成協議以重開霍爾木茲海峽或恢復伊朗核計畫談判

It also comes at a time when Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen are stepping up attacks on Saudi infrastructure and on shipping in the Red Sea, another major maritime route in the region, where the disruption has helped drive up global oil prices.

此舉也正值伊朗支持的葉門胡塞武裝加強對沙烏地基礎設施和紅海航運的攻擊之際,紅海是該地區另一條主要海上航線那裡的阻礙已助長全球油價飆升

Moreover, according to the United States, Iran remains the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, and the US has imposed significant sanctions on the country and launched new measures in recent weeks aimed at cutting off "critical financial lifelines".

此外,據美國稱,伊朗仍是全球領先的國家恐怖主義贊助者,美國已對該國實施重大制裁,並在最近幾週發起新行動,旨在切斷「關鍵金融生命線」。

As the host country of the United Nations headquarters, the United States generally finds it difficult to prevent foreign leaders from coming to attend the General Assembly.

作為聯合國總部的東道國美國通常難以阻止外國領導人前來參加大會

However, there have been precedents in the past of denying visas to leaders engaged in active conflict with the United States, or of discouraging them from applying.

然而過去曾有拒絕與美國處於活躍衝突中的領導人簽證勸阻申請先例

For last year's UN world leaders' meetingwhich took place before the Iran war broke out on 28 February, but after the US and Israel struck Iranian nuclear sites in June 2025the State Department also approved visas for a small number of Iranian diplomats, though it imposed strict restrictions on the delegation's movements.

針對去年的聯合國世界領導人會議——該會議在2月28日伊朗戰爭爆發前舉行,但在美國和以色列於2025年6月空襲伊朗核設施之後——國務院也批准了少數伊朗外交官的簽證,但對代表團的行動施加了嚴格限制。

These restrictions included strict limits on how far Iranian officials could travel within New York City after leaving their UN mission, and a ban on shopping at wholesale membership stores such as Costco and Sam's Club.

這些限制包括嚴格限制伊朗官員在紐約市內離開其聯合國代表團後可旅行的距離,並禁止他們在Costco和Sam's Club等批發會員店購物。

Just one day before the announcement of the visa decision regarding Iran, the State Department denied visas to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his delegation to attend the conference.

就在伊朗簽證決定公布的前一天,國務院拒絕了巴勒斯坦總統馬哈茂德·阿巴斯及其代表團前來參加大會的簽證。

"In accordance with our obligations as the host country, a core delegation of the Iranian regime will be able to attend the high-level week of the UN General Assembly," the State Department said.

根據我們作為東道國的義務伊朗政權核心代表團將能夠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 purchasing luxury goods and other items.

代表團將受到旅行限制依我們的政策面臨購買奢侈品和其他商品禁令

The delegation is smaller than last year's."

代表團規模比去年小。」

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 bringing cases before the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, and of continuing to pay stipends to prisoners held in Israel for attacks on Israelis.

國務院指責管理以色列佔領的西岸部分地區巴勒斯坦權力機構試圖加薩以色列-哈馬斯戰爭國際化」,向國際法院和國際刑事法院提起案件並持續因攻擊以色列人被關押在以色列囚犯支付津貼

The Palestinian Authority condemned the move, calling Israel's actions "a real 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是「對兩國解決方案與和平前景的真正威脅」。

It also said it remained committed to the long-stalled negotiations, but defended its efforts to seek Palestinian recognition 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 do nothing to advance peace or combat violence," the authority's foreign ministry said in a statement.

對巴勒斯坦官員施加的懲罰性措施和限制無助於推進和平或打擊暴力,」該權力機構外交部在一份聲明中表示

"On the contrary, these measures weaken the Palestinian partners committed to a political solution and embolden those forces committed to destroying the two-state solution and imposing the reality of occupation, settlement and annexation by force."

相反這些措施削弱了致力於政治解決方案的巴勒斯坦夥伴並助長了那些致力於破壞兩國解決方案、以武力強加佔領定居和兼併現實的勢力。」

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

美國不承認巴勒斯坦權力機構聯合國正式會員國政府然而聯合國大會以及各聯合國機構和組織則承認之
