Notwithstanding that the two nations find themselves mired in a war of attrition, the Trump administration has granted visas to senior Iranian officials, including the president and the foreign minister, so that they may attend the high-level segment of the United Nations General Assembly convening in New York next week.

両国が膠着状態の戦争に陥っているにもかかわらず、トランプ政権は来週ニューヨークで開催される国連総会ハイレベル会合に出席するため大統領と外相を含むイランの高官に対しビザを承認した

On Thursday, the State Department announced that it had approved visas for Iran's "core delegation" attending the United Nations gathering, along with essential accompanying staff.

国務省は木曜日国連会合に参集するイランの「中核代表団」ならびに不可欠な随行職員に対しビザを承認した旨を公表した

According to a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity under visa privacy law, that core delegation includes President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

ビザのプライバシー法に基づき匿名を条件に語った米当局者によれば当該中核代表団にはマスード・ペゼシュキアン大統領およびアッバス・アラグチ外相名を連ねているという。

This move is extraordinary, given that the conflict between Iran and the United States has now persisted for more than six months, with no indication that an agreement is imminent on reopening the Strait of Hormuz or on returning to negotiations over Iran's nuclear program.

この動きはイランと米国の間で6か月以上にわたる紛争がなお継続しホルムズ海峡の再開イランの核計画をめぐる協議への復帰に関する合意が近い兆しも見えないことから異例である

Moreover, it came amid an intensification of attacks by Iran-backed Houthi insurgents in Yemen on Saudi infrastructure and on shipping in the Red Sea.

さらにイランが支援するイエメンのフーシ派反政府勢力がサウジアラビアのインフラ紅海の海運に対する攻撃を強化する中で行われた

The Red Sea is a principal maritime route for the region, and disruptions to it have driven a sharp surge in global oil prices.

紅海は地域の主要な海上ルートでありその障害が世界の石油価格の急騰を招いている

Moreover, according to the view of the United States government, Iran continues to be the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism; the United States has imposed severe sanctions on the country and, in recent weeks, has embarked on a new campaign intended to cut off "a vital source of funding."

さらに米国政府の見解によればイランはいまだ世界最大のテロ支援国家であり続けており、米国は同国に対し重大な制裁を課すとともにここ数週間において「重要な資金供給源」を遮断することを企図した新たなキャンペーンに着手した

Given its position as the host country of the United Nations headquarters, the measures the United States can take to prevent foreign leaders from attending the General Assembly are, on the whole, subject to constraints.

国連本部の所在地国という立場上米国が外国の指導者の総会出席を阻止するために講じ得る措置は、概して制約を受けている。

Nevertheless, there have been instances in the past in which the United States refused to issue visas to, or dissuaded from applying, leaders engaged in active conflict with it.

とはいえ過去においては米国と活発な紛争状態にある指導者に対しビザの発給を拒否したり申請を断念させたりしてきた事例が存在する

Last year's gathering of world leaders at the United Nations, which took place before the Iran war broke out on February 28 but after the United States and Israel launched airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June 2025, saw the State Department approve a limited number of visas for Iranian diplomats while imposing stringent restrictions on the delegation's movement.

昨年の国連における世界の指導者たちの会合はイラン戦争が2月28日に勃発する以前ではあったものの米国とイスラエルが2025年6月にイランの核施設に対する空爆を開始した後のことであったが、国務省はイラン外交官に対し限定的な数のビザを承認する一方で代表団の移動に対して厳格な制限を課した

This encompassed stringent restrictions on the distance Iranian officials were permitted to travel within New York City from the United Nations mission, and the act of purchasing goods at membership-based wholesale outlets such as Costco and Sam's Club was prohibited.

それには、イラン当局者が国連代表部からニューヨーク市内において移動し得る距離に対する厳格な制限が包含されており、コストコやサムズクラブといった会員制卸売店での購買行為が禁じられた。

The decision concerning the Iranian visa was announced the day after the State Department denied Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his delegation visas to attend the General Assembly.

イランビザに関する決定は国務省がパレスチナのマフムード・アッバス大統領およびその代表団に対し総会出席のためのビザを拒否した翌日に公表された

In light of its obligations as the host country, the delegation constituting the core of the Iranian regime will be permitted to attend the high-level week of the United Nations General Assembly, the State Department stated.

受入国としての義務に鑑みイラン政権の中核を成す代表団国連総会ハイレベルウィーク出席することを許容される」と国務省は言明した

The delegation in question will be subject to movement restrictions and, in accordance with our country's policy, will be prohibited from purchasing luxury goods and other items.

当該代表団移動制限を課されわが国の政策に則り贅沢品その他の物品の購入を禁じられる

The size of the delegation will be smaller than last year's.

代表団の規模昨年を下回る。」

The State Department censured the Palestinian Authority, which governs part of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, for scheming to "internationalize" the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza by bringing the matter before the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, while continuing to disburse stipends to prisoners incarcerated in Israel on charges of attacks against Israelis.

国務省はイスラエル占領下のヨルダン川西岸の一部を統治するパレスチナ自治政府が国際司法裁判所および国際刑事裁判所に事案を持ち込むことによってガザにおけるイスラエル・ハマス戦争の「国際化」を画策しているとともにイスラエル人に対する攻撃の廉でイスラエルに投獄された囚人への手当を依然として支給し続けている弾劾した

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

パレスチナ自治政府はこの動きを糾弾しイスラエルの行動を二国家解決と平和の見通しに対する真の脅威」と断じた。

Furthermore, while affirming that it remained committed to engaging in negotiations that had languished for years, it defended its efforts to secure recognition for Palestine through international bodies and courts.

また長年にわたり停滞を続ける交渉への関与を依然として堅持する旨を表明する一方で国際機関や裁判所を通じてパレスチナの承認を獲得せんとする努力を擁護した

"The punitive measures and restrictions imposed on Palestinian officials do not contribute to advancing peace or combating violence," the Authority's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

パレスチナ当局者に課された懲罰的措置と制限は平和の推進や暴力との戦いに寄与するものではなく」と自治政府外務省は声明で述べた

"Rather, they weaken the Palestinian partners committed to a political solution, undermine the two-state solution, and benefit the forces that seek to impose by force the realities of occupation, settlement, and annexation."

むしろ政治的解決にコミットするパレスチナのパートナーを脆弱化させ二国家解決を損ない占領、入植、併合の現実を力をもって押し付ける勢力を利するものである。」

The United States has not gone so far as to recognize the Palestinian Authority as the government of a full United Nations member state.

米国はパレスチナ自治政府を完全な国連加盟国の政府として承認するには至っていない

Nevertheless, the United Nations General Assembly, keeping pace with various UN agencies and bodies, has come to grant such recognition.

しかしながら国連総会は種々の国連機関や組織と歩調を合わせつつこれを承認するに至っている。
