Despite the two countries being locked in a stalemated war, the Trump administration has approved visas for senior Iranian officials, including the president and foreign minister, to attend a high-level meeting of the UN General Assembly 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ビザを承認した

On Thursday, the State Department announced that it had approved visas for Iran's "core delegation" and essential staff attending the UN meeting.

国務省は木曜日国連会合に参加するイランの「中核代表団」必要不可欠なスタッフビザを承認したと発表した

According to a US official who spoke on condition of anonymity due to visa privacy laws, the core delegation includes President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

ビザのプライバシー法により匿名を条件に話した米当局者によると中核代表団にはマスード・ペゼシュキアン大統領アッバス・アラグチ外相が含まれる。

This move is unusual, given that the conflict between Iran and the United States has persisted for more than six months, with no sign of an imminent agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or to return 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続き、ホルムズ海峡の再開やイランの核計画に関する協議復帰の合意が近い兆しがないため、異例である。

It also came at a time when Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen are intensifying their attacks on Saudi infrastructure and on shipping in the Red Sea.

また、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と紅海の海運に対する攻撃を強化している中で行われた。

The Red Sea is a key maritime route for the region, and disruptions there have caused global oil prices to surge.

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

Furthermore, according to the claims of the US government, Iran remains the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism, and the United States has imposed significant sanctions on the country while launching a new campaign in recent weeks aimed at cutting off "key sources of funding."

さらに米国政府の主張によればイランは依然として世界最大のテロ支援国家であり米国は同国に重大な制裁を課すとともにここ数週間で「重要な資金供給源」を断つことを目的とした新たなキャンペーンを開始した

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 generally limited.

国連本部の所在地国として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、一般的に制限されている。

However, in the past, it has denied visas to, or discouraged applications from, leaders involved in active disputes with the United States.

しかしながら過去には米国との活発な紛争に関与する指導者に対してビザを拒否したり申請を断念させたりしてきた。

Last year's gathering of world leaders at the United Nations took place before the war with Iran began on February 28, yet after the United States and Israel launched airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June 2025.

昨年の世界の指導者による国連会合は、イラン戦争が2月28日に始まる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への空爆を開始した後に行われた

The State Department approved a limited number of visas for Iranian diplomats, but at the same time imposed strict restrictions on the delegation's movement.

国務省はイラン外交官に限られた数のビザを承認したが、同時に代表団の移動に厳格な制限も課した

This included strict limits on how far Iranian officials could travel within New York City from the United Nations mission, and they were banned from shopping at membership-based wholesale stores such as Costco and Sam's Club.

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で移動できる距離への厳しい制限が含まれており、コストコやサムズクラブなどの会員制卸売店での買い物が禁じられた。

The decision regarding 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.

イランビザの決定は、国務省がパレスチナのマフムード・アッバス大統領とその代表団の総会出席ビザを拒否した翌日に発表された。

The State Department stated, "In accordance with our obligations as the host country, a core delegation of the Iranian regime may attend the high-level week of the UN General Assembly."

国務省は、「受入国としての義務に従えばイラン政権の中核代表団は国連総会ハイレベルウィークに出席できる」と述べた

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

代表団は移動制限を受けわが国の政策に従い贅沢品やその他の物品の購入が禁じられる

The delegation is smaller than last year's."

代表団は昨年より小規模である。」

The State Department stated that the Palestinian Authority, which governs part of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, is attempting to "internationalize" the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza by bringing the matter before the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, and it also accused the Authority of continuing to pay stipends to prisoners jailed in Israel for attacks on 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と国際刑事裁判所に事案を持ち込むことでガザのイスラエル・ハマス戦争を「国際化」しようとしているとし、またイスラエル人への攻撃でイスラエルに投獄された囚人への手当を支払い続けていると非難した

The Palestinian Authority condemned this move, calling Israel's actions "a real 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非難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呼んだ

It also expressed its willingness to remain engaged in the long-stalled negotiations, while defending its efforts to secure recognition for Palestine through international bodies and courts.

また長年停滞している交渉に依然として関与する意向を示す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する取り組みを擁護した

The punitive measures and restrictions imposed on Palestinian officials do not contribute to advancing peace or combating violence, the Authority's Foreign Ministry 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しない」と自治政府外務省は声明で述べた

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

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弱体化させ二国家解決を損ない占領、入植、併合の現実を力で押し付ける勢力を利するものである。」

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

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

However, the United Nations General Assembly, acting in step with various UN agencies and bodies, has granted such recognition.

しかしながら国連総会はさまざまな国連機関や組織と歩調を合わせる形でそれを承認している
