迪拜：自美国和以色列对伊朗发动战争以来，权力和影响力不断扩大的伊朗革命卫队呼吁美国中期选举选民拒绝总统唐纳德·特朗普的政策，并接受和平共处的提议。
DUBAI: Iran's Revolutionary Guards, whose power and influence have expanded since the US and Israel pursued war against Iran, have appealed to US midterm voters to reject President Donald Trump's policies and accept an offer of peaceful coexistence.
这些主张是在周二（9月29日）一封写给美国人民的25页公开信中提出的，信中敦促他们反对美国对以色列的支持和对外战争，并声称如果美国政策改变，伊朗和美国可以共存。
The assertions were made on Tuesday (Sep 29) in a 25-page open letter addressed to the American people, urging them to oppose US support for Israel and foreign wars and arguing that Iran and the US could coexist if US policy changed.
信中指责特朗普掩盖了伊朗核计划的和平性质，而以色列尤其将其视为生存威胁，同时也掩盖了德黑兰封锁海湾石油的有效性。
The letter accused Trump of concealing the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear programme, which Israel in particular sees as an existential threat, and the effectiveness of Tehran's blockade of Gulf oil.
革命卫队发言人侯赛因·穆赫比告诉记者，他预计这封信不会在选举前约五周影响美国政府的行为，但选民可能会听到这一信息。
IRGC spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi told reporters he did not expect the letter to affect the US administration's behaviour some five weeks before the elections, but that voters might hear the message.
“美国人民对许多事态并不了解。我们相信，如果他们知道更多，他们会以不同方式思考并做出其他决定，”他说。
"The American people are not knowledgeable about many developments. We believe if they knew more, they would think differently and take other decisions," he said.
伊朗革命卫队称特朗普不可信任。在发动对伊朗战争的理由中，特朗普——其共和党在民调中正承受民主党压力——提到了需要确保伊朗永远无法制造核武器。上周，他在联合国大会上表示，如果他愿意，他可以“消灭”这个伊斯兰共和国。“敌人（美国）知道伊朗并不寻求核武器，”穆赫比说。
IRAN'S GUARDS SAY TRUMP IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED Among his reasons for waging war on Iran, Trump, whose Republican Party is under pressure from the Democrats in opinion polls, has cited the need to ensure that it will never be able to build a nuclear weapon. Last week, he told the UN General Assembly he could "annihilate" the Islamic Republic if he chose "The enemy (US) knows that Iran is not after nuclear weapons," Mohebbi said.
“美国的国家安全及其军人的生命被托付给一个人，他不仅是个惯于撒谎的人，还是个疯狂贪婪的人，其人生唯一动力就是积累更多财富。”穆赫比还驳斥了美国的说法，即伊朗已失去对霍尔木兹海峡的大部分影响力，部分原因是美军能够保护一些将石油运出海湾的油轮。
"America’s national security and the lives of its service members are entrusted to someone who is not only an inveterate liar but is also an insanely avaricious man whose only motivation in life is the accumulation of greater wealth." Mohebbi also challenged US assertions that Iran has lost most of its leverage over the Strait of Hormuz in part because the US military has been able to protect some of the tankers bringing oil out of the Gulf.
穆赫比表示：“美国人或许能够不惜高昂代价、克服重重麻烦并承担高风险，在夜色掩护下让一艘小船偷偷穿过霍尔木兹海峡，出口比如100或200桶石油，但这并不意味着海峡是开放的。”
"The fact that the Americans might manage, at great expense, considerable trouble and high risk to sneak a small vessel through the Strait of Hormuz under cover of darkness to export, say, 100 or 200 barrels of oil does not mean the Strait is open," Mohebbi said.
根据Kpler的数据，9月份经由霍尔木兹海峡的石油出口有所恢复，预计将达到近每日1000万桶，约为战前水平的一半。
According to Kpler data, September has seen a recovery of oil exports via the Strait of Hormuz, which are set to hit almost 10 million barrels per day, about half the pre-war volume.
