德黑兰：伊朗周二（9月29日）威胁将攻击中东地区的基础设施，强化了其言辞，同时等待华盛顿就重新开放霍尔木兹海峡的新计划作出正式回应。
TEHRAN: Iran threatened on Tuesday (Sep 29) to attack infrastructure around the Middle East, intensifying its rhetoric as it awaits a formal response from Washington on a new plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
美国总统特朗普已驳回德黑兰的提议，但伊朗外长周一表示，预计将在一天内收到美国官方的正式回复。
US President Donald Trump has already dismissed the proposal from Tehran, but Iran's foreign minister said on Monday that he was expecting a formal response from American officials within a day.
近几周战斗有所平息，但德黑兰继续以海峡内的船只为目标，而华盛顿则退而依靠经济施压行动，而非进一步的军事行动。
Fighting has subsided in recent weeks, though Tehran has continued to target ships in the strait, with Washington falling back on an economic pressure campaign instead of further military action.
伊朗首席谈判代表穆罕默德·巴盖尔·卡利巴夫周二威胁发动新袭击，称如果伊朗的安全得不到保障，该地区没有任何基础设施会是安全的。
Iran's chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf on Tuesday threatened new attacks, saying no infrastructure in the region would be safe if his country's security was not guaranteed.
据国家电视台发布的视频，卡利巴夫同时也是伊朗议会议长，他说：“在一个我们无法出售石油的地区，其他人也别想卖石油；或者如果我们的安全得不到保障，任何基础设施都不会安全。”
"In a region where we cannot sell oil, no one else will sell oil either; or if our security is not guaranteed, no infrastructure will remain safe," Ghalibaf, who is also Iran's parliament speaker, said according to a video released by state TV.
自2月下旬美以对伊斯兰共和国发动袭击、战争爆发以来，伊朗一直对霍尔木兹海峡的商业航运实施封锁。
Iran has maintained a blockade on commercial shipping through Hormuz since the war began in late February with US-Israeli strikes on the Islamic republic.
冲突爆发前，这条航运航道承载着全球五分之一的石油和液化天然气运输。美军一直在伊朗港口实施反封锁，试图阻止德黑兰出口石油。“仅聚焦海峡”关于重新开放霍尔木兹海峡的前景，外长阿拉格齐周一晚些时候表示，卡塔尔斡旋方“提出了想法，我们进行了讨论；他们将再次向美方提出此事，随后美方的最终回复将传达给我们”。
The shipping route carried a fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas before the conflict began. The US military has been maintaining a counterblockade of Iran's ports in an effort to prevent Tehran from exporting oil. "FOCUS SOLELY ON THE STRAIT" Speaking about prospects for reopening the Hormuz, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had said late on Monday that Qatari intermediaries "presented ideas, and we discussed them; they are set to raise the matter with the American side once more, after which the final US response will be conveyed to us".
这位正在纽约出席联大的首席外交官表示，“卡塔尔方面希望明天能完成此事”。
The top diplomat, who was in New York for the UN General Assembly, said "the Qataris hope this will be done by tomorrow".
他补充说：“目前的焦点完全在霍尔木兹海峡，海峡的重新开放取决于满足我们已向对方传达的某些条件。”
"The current focus is solely on the Strait of Hormuz, and the reopening of the strait is contingent upon the fulfilment of certain conditions that we have communicated to the other side," he added.
上周，阿拉格齐与美国特使史蒂夫·威特科夫（Steve Witkoff）和贾德·库什纳（Jared Kushner）在纽约举行了会谈。
Last week, discussions were held in New York between Araghchi and US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
周二，卡塔尔外交部发言人马吉德·安萨里（Majed Al Ansari）表示，双方已经进行了“多次会晤并互致了信息，其中包括在纽约以及早些时候的接触”。
On Tuesday, Qatari foreign ministry spokesperson Majed Al Ansari said there had been "several meetings and messages have been exchanged, including some in New York and earlier".
“目前的努力重点是在各方之间建立共同点。”作为解除封锁的前提条件，伊朗要求在中东实现为期七天的停火，包括在黎巴嫩——其盟友真主党正经常遭到以色列的轰炸。
"Current efforts are focused on building common ground between the parties." As a precondition for ending its blockade, Iran is demanding a seven-day ceasefire across the Middle East, including in Lebanon where its ally Hezbollah is regularly bombed by Israel.
伊朗还要求解冻其海外资产、解除对石油部门的制裁，并停止美国对其港口的的海上封锁。“区区几百桶”双方都声称对霍尔木兹海峡拥有控制权，美国称石油正在通过，而德黑兰则坚称该水道已经关闭。
Iran is also demanding the unfreezing of its assets abroad, the lifting of sanctions on its oil sector and an end to the US naval blockade on its ports. "A FEW HUNDRED BARRELS" Both sides claim to have control of Hormuz, with the US saying oil is moving through and Tehran insisting the waterway is closed.
周二，伊朗军队的意识形态分支——伊斯兰革命卫队表示，“美国关于海峡依然开放的说法是虚假的”。
On Tuesday, Iran's Revolutionary Guards, the ideological arm of the country's military, said "the US claim that it remains open is false".
发言人侯赛因·莫赫比（Hossein Mohebi）说：“在夜色掩护下，关闭应答器、付出巨大代价悄悄运过去区区几百桶石油，并不构成海峡的开放。”
"Sneaking a few hundred barrels of oil through under the cover of darkness - with transponders turned off and at great cost - does not constitute the strait being open," said spokesperson Hossein Mohebi.
“真正开放的海峡应该是像过去那样，每天至少有125艘船只通行，运送至少2000万桶石油和石油产品。
"A truly open strait is one where, as in the past, at least 125 vessels would pass through daily, transporting a minimum of 20 million barrels of oil and petroleum products.
他补充说：“任何试图通行的船只都会遭到破坏——要么被我们打击，要么触雷。”
"Any vessel attempting to pass through sustains damage - either we strike it, or it hits a mine," he added.
德黑兰对霍尔木兹海峡的扼制对海湾国家造成了沉重打击，这些国家也遭到了伊朗的炮火袭击。
Tehran's stranglehold on Hormuz has been a severe blow to Gulf states, which have also come under Iranian fire.
安萨里周二表示，伊朗当局“需要做出决定，让我们的国家远离这场战争，并对邻国采取非常明确的互不侵犯立场”。
Al Ansari on Tuesday said Iranian authorities "need to take a decision to distance our countries from this war and to take a very clear position of non-aggression towards their neighbors".
