一群伊朗裔美国人向美国总统唐纳德·特朗普提起诉讼，要求法院下令停止针对伊朗的军事行动。他们认为这些军事行动正在伤害他们及其家人，并违反了宪法中对总统战争权力的限制规定。
A group of Iranian Americans have filed a lawsuit against United States President Donald Trump, asking a court to order a halt to military action against Iran that they allege is harming them and their families and is in violation of constitutional war powers checks.
这份诉讼由“全国伊朗裔美国人委员会”（NIAC）于周四在华盛顿特区法院提起。该委员会指出，这场战争可能会无限期地持续下去，从而“对伊朗人以及该委员会所代表的伊朗裔美国人的生命、健康、财产和基本生活需求构成迫在眉睫的威胁”。半岛电视台获得了这份诉讼文件的副本。
The complaint, filed in a Washington, DC, court on Thursday by the advocacy group National Iranian American Council (NIAC), argues the war will continue indefinitely and “cause imminent threats to the lives, limbs, health, property, and bare necessities” of Iranians, as well as Iranian Americans whom the organisation represents. Al Jazeera has a copy of the lawsuit.
诉讼详细说明了这场已经持续了六个多月的战争对部分成员（包括美国公民和一名美国陆军退伍军人）及其家人的影响。一些原告的亲属在战争期间的空袭中丧生或受伤，这些事件发生在他们的家中或他们在执行日常任务时。
The lawsuit details the impact the war, which has raged on for more than six months now, has had on several of its members, including US citizens and a US Army veteran, and their families who are still inside Iran. The relatives of some plaintiffs were allegedly killed or injured in air strikes during the war, including while in their homes, or as they went about doing routine tasks.
原告们还指出，战争给他们自己及其家人带来了更大的负面影响，例如美国制裁导致的经济困难、无法获得适当的医疗保健服务，以及在日益严格的制裁制度下无法自由出行。
The plaintiffs also allege greater effects on themselves and their families, such as economic difficulties caused by US sanctions, and the inability to access adequate healthcare, or travel amid an expanding sanctions regime.
诉讼称，那些仍留在伊朗的人处于危险之中，因为特朗普政府在没有任何法律监督或正当授权的情况下继续发动战争。根据诉讼内容，迄今为止已有数千名平民（其中包括数百名儿童）在美国的军事行动中丧生，还有更多的人面临危险。
Those still inside Iran, the lawsuit says, are in danger because the Trump administration is continuing the war without legal oversight or proper authorisation. Thousands of civilians, including hundreds of children, have been killed by the US in the war so far, according to the lawsuit, and others are at risk.
诉讼文件中写道：“他们所有人都面临着因被告唐纳德·J·特朗普发动的违宪战争而导致的生命和财产安全受到威胁的紧迫危险。”
“They are all in imminent danger of harm to their persons and properties proximately caused by the unconstitutional war waged by defendant President Donald J. Trump,” the complaint says.
今年9月，联合国的一个事实调查团表示，美国可能在伊朗犯下了“战争罪行”，其中包括导致数百名平民死亡的空袭行动。
In September, a United Nations fact-finding mission said the US likely committed“war crimes” in Iran, including in air strikes that allegedly killed hundreds of civilians.
“任何总统都不应拥有单方面让国家陷入无限期战争的权力，”全国伊朗裔美国人委员会（NIAC）主席贾马尔·阿卜迪周四在一份声明中表示。“这起诉讼提出了一个根本问题：一个人能否独自决定，让整个国家处于战争状态？”周二，特朗普在联合国大会上告诉世界领导人，如果德黑兰不回到谈判桌并与美国达成协议结束战争，他正在考虑是否要“消灭”伊朗。
“No President should have the power to take this country into an indefinite war by himself,” NIAC President Jamal Abdi said in a statement on Thursday. “This lawsuit asks a fundamental question: can one person decide, on his own, to keep an entire nation at war?” On Tuesday, Trump told world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly that he was considering whether to “annihilate” Iran if Tehran did not return to talks and reach a deal with the US to end the war.
