叙利亚贝尼亚斯——盖思·阿尔赛义德：周二，伊拉克油罐车在叙利亚一处港口装载汽油，以应对激增的能源需求。与此同时，关键的霍尔木兹海峡仍处于关闭状态，调解方正与伊朗和美国合作，推动结束战争。
GHAITH ALSAYED BANIYAS, Syria — Iraqi fuel trucks loaded gasoline at a Syrian port on Tuesday in a bid to meet surging energy demand as the critical Strait of Hormuz remains closed and mediators work with Iran and the United States to end the war .
海峡受阻给全球经济带来冲击，促使各国争相寻找替代供应渠道，也推高了燃料价格。战前，全球交易的石油和天然气中有五分之一经由这条狭窄水道运输。
The disruption of the strait has sent shock waves through the global economy, prompting countries to scramble for alternatives and sending fuel prices soaring. A fifth of the world’s traded oil and gas transited through the narrow waterway before the war.
叙利亚临时总统艾哈迈德·沙拉于2024年12月赶下台巴沙尔·阿萨德这位长期执政领导人。叙利亚抓住机会，通过提供贝尼亚斯港这一替代运输通道来提振本国经济。美国和欧洲等市场一直在使用该港口。
Syria, under interim president Ahmad al-Sharaa, who ousted longtime leader Bashar Assad in December 2024, has seized the opportunity to bolster the country’s economy by providing an alternative route through the Baniyas port. Markets including the United States and Europe have been using the port.
几个月来，伊拉克一直采用卡车经贝尼亚斯港运输石油的变通办法，将石油出口到国外市场，以应对霍尔木兹海峡关闭。如今，根据两国达成的一项为期三个月的协议，伊拉克开始经叙利亚进口汽油；首批运往伊拉克的汽油已于周四运抵该港口。
Iraq has been exporting oil to foreign markets for months by trucking it through Baniyas as a workaround to the closure of Hormuz. Now, through a three-month agreement between the two, Iraq has begun importing gasoline via Syria; the first shipment to Iraq arrived at the port on Thursday.
根据协议，总部位于卡塔尔的联合企业公司UCC负责采购汽油，叙利亚负责运输并收取过境费。随后，货物从叙利亚西北部的港口出发，经叙利亚东南部的坦夫，再通过陆路运往伊拉克。
Under the deal, the Qatar-based conglomerate UCC purchases the gasoline, and Syria manages transportation and receives transit fees. The shipments are then transported by land to Iraq from the northwestern port through al-Tanf in southeastern Syria.
国有叙利亚石油公司副负责人艾哈迈德·库巴杰周二表示，叙利亚正努力每天向伊拉克运入200辆油罐车。
Ahmed Qubbaji, deputy head of the state-run Syrian Petroleum Company, said Tuesday that Syria is working to bring in 200 tankers daily to Iraq.
他告诉美联社：“我们正在考虑通过其他国家走海路，铺设从伊拉克通往叙利亚的管道。因此，我们考虑的不是临时项目，而是着眼长远的战略规划。”
“We are thinking of setting up pipelines from Iraq to Syria via the sea through other countries,” he told The Associated Press. “So we are not looking at interim projects, but thinking strategically for the long term.”
