在重新开放霍尔木兹海峡的外交努力陷入停滞之际，伊朗正准备在其与美国和以色列的战争后延伸导弹射程。德黑兰称，美军现部署在距离其海岸远达1000公里（621英里）处。
Amid stalled diplomatic efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Iran is preparing to extend the range of its missiles after its war with the US and Israel. Tehran says American forces are now positioned as far as 1,000 km (621 miles) from its coast.
这一宣布之际，伊朗继续将重新开放这一战略要道霍尔木兹海峡，与早前同华盛顿外交努力中达成的一系列条件挂钩。德黑兰还拒绝了有关其提出核计划新让步以换取制裁缓解的说法。
The announcement came as Iran continued to link any reopening of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz to a set of conditions agreed during earlier diplomatic efforts with Washington. Tehran also rejected claims that it had offered fresh concessions on its nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief.
这些事态发展表明，华盛顿与德黑兰之间的分歧正在扩大，即使卡塔尔仍在两国间传递信息，试图重振外交并恢复霍尔木兹海峡的正常航运。
The developments point to a widening gap between Washington and Tehran, even as Qatar continues to carry messages between the two sides in an attempt to revive diplomacy and restore normal shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.IRAN TO EXTEND MISSILE RANGEIranian Army spokesperson Mohammad Akraminia said Tehran had drawn clear military lessons from the recent war and had already begun work to increase the range of its missiles.
伊朗将延伸导弹射程伊朗陆军发言人穆罕默德·阿克拉米尼亚表示，德黑兰从最近的战争中汲取了明确的军事教训，并已开始着手增加导弹射程。阿克拉米尼亚周日对法尔斯通讯社表示，这一改变直接源于冲突经验。
Speaking to Fars news agency on Sunday, Akraminia said the change was prompted directly by the experience of the conflict."
他说：“在这场战争中，我们得出结论，绝对必须增加导弹射程，我们现在已朝这个方向迈进。”
During this war, we concluded that we absolutely must increase the range of our missiles, and we have now moved in that direction," he said.
据报道，美军已远离伊朗海岸线。据阿克拉米尼亚称，美军现部署在距离伊朗海岸远达1000公里（621英里）处。
This comes as US forces have reportedly moved farther away from Iran's coastline. According to Akraminia, US troops are now positioned as far as 1,000 km (621 miles) from the Iranian coast.
美军部署的这一变化似乎影响了德黑兰对其导弹需求的评估。通过延伸导弹武库的覆盖范围，伊朗将寻求确保距离其领土较远的目标仍在射程之内。
霍尔木兹海峡依然关闭在伊朗发出军事建设信号的同时，德黑兰也将霍尔木兹海峡置于其外交要求的核心位置。
The change in US military positioning appears to have influenced Tehran's assessment of its missile requirements. By extending the reach of its missile arsenal, Iran would seek to ensure that targets farther from its territory remain within range.HORMUZ REMAINS CLOSEDWhile Iran is signalling a military build-up, Tehran is also keeping the Strait of Hormuz at the centre of its diplomatic demands.
伊朗议长穆罕默德·巴盖尔·卡利巴夫周日表示，在与美国达成的六月临时谅解中的七项条件得到满足之前，该水道不会重新开放。
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf said on Sunday that the waterway would not reopen until seven conditions agreed upon in a June interim understanding with the US are fulfilled.
卡利巴夫同时也是伊朗的首席谈判代表，他表示德黑兰的立场坚定，华盛顿不应指望在没有采取具体行动的情况下，外交进程能无限期地继续下去。
Ghalibaf, who is also Iran's top negotiator, said Tehran's position was firm and that Washington should not expect the diplomatic process to continue indefinitely without concrete action."
据援引，他说：“伊斯兰共和国伊朗的立场完全明确且坚定，在基于《伊斯兰堡谅解备忘录》的七项条件得到满足之前，霍尔木兹海峡不会开放。”
The position of the Islamic Republic of Iran is completely clear and firm, and the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened until our seven conditions, based on the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, are met," he was quoted as saying.
他补充称，美国“必须明白，拖延（外交）进程和单方面提出要求的时期已经结束”。伊朗提出七天路径伊朗在联合国大会期间提出了一项建议，概述了重新开放海峡的可能途径。根据该提议，如果满足德黑兰设定的条件，正常海上交通可在七天内恢复。据伊朗方面称，美国上周通过卡塔尔斡旋方作出了回应。
He added that the US "must understand that the period of dragging out the (diplomatic) process and dictating one-sided demands is over".TEHRAN OFFERED A SEVEN-DAY PATHIran had presented a proposal during the United Nations General Assembly outlining a possible route towards reopening the Strait. Under the proposal, normal maritime traffic could resume within seven days if the conditions set by Tehran were met. Washington responded to the proposal last week through Qatari intermediaries, according to Iran.
此后，卡塔尔一直充当华盛顿和德黑兰之间的沟通渠道，双方都在试图寻找摆脱对抗的出路。外交努力不仅聚焦于海峡问题，还聚焦于引发冲突的更广泛问题。
Qatar has since been acting as a channel between Washington and Tehran as both sides try to find a way out of the confrontation. The diplomatic effort is focused not only on the Strait but also on the broader issues that triggered the conflict.
这七项条件与六月的谅解备忘录相关，该备忘录促成了短暂停火，并包含涉及霍尔木兹海峡和伊朗核计划的条款。
The seven conditions are linked to the June memorandum of understanding, which helped produce a brief ceasefire and included provisions concerning both the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear programme.
一位知情官员告诉路透社，目前正在讨论的文件包含一个为期七天的建立互信期。目标是恢复六月谅解的强化版本，并就伊朗核活动采取具体措施。伊朗否认提出新核提议与此同时，德黑兰驳回了有关其提出允许国际原子能机构进入其核设施以换取制裁缓解的报道。
An official briefed on the talks told news agency Reuters the document currently being discussed includes a seven-day trust-building period. The objective is to revive an enhanced version of the June understanding, with concrete measures concerning Iran's nuclear activities.IRAN DENIES FRESH NUCLEAR OFFERAt the same time, Tehran has pushed back against reports that it offered the International Atomic Energy Agency access to its nuclear facilities in exchange for sanctions relief.
伊朗外交部发言人埃斯梅尔·巴盖伊周日表示，德黑兰已通过调解人向美方传达了其总体立场。不过，他表示仍有额外事项需要传达给华盛顿。
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Sunday that Tehran had communicated its broad position on the US response through mediators. However, he said there were still additional points that needed to be conveyed to Washington."
巴盖伊说：“美国人的提议或多或少符合他们以往的立场，特别是在核问题上。”他表示，伊朗已明确其当前重点是霍尔木兹海峡及恢复该水道的安全。
The Americans' propositions are more or less in line with their previous positions, specifically on the nuclear issue," Baghaei said. He said Iran had made clear that its immediate focus was the Strait of Hormuz and restoring security in the waterway."
他说：“我们告诉他们，我们在这个阶段的重点是霍尔木兹海峡问题，恢复该水道的安全需要美方采取明确步骤。”巴盖伊还否认伊朗已与华盛顿展开核谈判。阿拉格齐警告美国勿采取军事行动伊朗外交部长阿巴斯·阿拉格齐周日在德黑兰与外国大使和外交官会晤时也发出了警告。他表示，伊朗希望华盛顿选择外交而非军事行动。但他明确指出，如果美国重启大规模袭击，德黑兰正准备应对另一场对抗。
We told them our focus at this stage is the issue of the Strait of Hormuz and the return to security in this waterway requires clear steps from the US," he said. Baghaei also denied that Iran had entered into nuclear negotiations with Washington.ARAQCHI WARNS US AGAINST MILITARY ACTIONIranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi also struck a warning note during a meeting with foreign ambassadors and diplomats in Tehran on Sunday. He said Iran hoped Washington would choose diplomacy rather than military action. But he made clear that Tehran was preparing for another confrontation if the US returned to large-scale attacks."
阿拉格齐说：“如果他们再次寻求军事解决，我们比以往更有准备，将采取一切必要行动进行自卫。”
If they again move towards military solutions, we are more prepared than before and will take whatever action is necessary to defend ourselves," Araqchi said.
这一威胁加上德黑兰决定扩大导弹射程，表明伊朗正在为外交可能失败的情况做准备。
That threat, combined with Tehran's decision to expand its missile range, indicates that Iran is preparing for the possibility that diplomacy could fail.
目前，卡塔尔的调解努力仍是华盛顿和德黑兰之间的主要沟通渠道。
For the time being, Qatar's mediation effort remains the main channel between Washington and Tehran.
然而，由于伊朗拒绝在满足其条件前重新开放海峡，拒绝达成新的核协议，同时还在不断扩充其导弹能力，外交窗口依然十分脆弱。- 完
But with Iran refusing to reopen the Strait until its conditions are met, rejecting a fresh nuclear bargain and simultaneously expanding its missile capabilities, the diplomatic window remains fragile.- Ends
