伊朗国家通讯社IRNA报道,伊朗周二因英国高级官员将德黑兰与RAF Fairford军事基地事件联系起来的指控,召见了驻德黑兰的英国大使。
Iran summoned the British ambassador in Tehran on Tuesday about allegations by senior UK officials linking Tehran to an incident at the RAF Fairford military base, according to Iran’s state news agency IRNA.
伊朗外交部助理部长兼西欧事务总干事阿利雷扎·尤塞菲召见了英国大使雨果·肖特,并转达了德黑兰对英国“对伊朗的不负责任和破坏性”做法的“强烈抗议”。
Hugo Shorter was summoned by Alireza Yousefi, an assistant foreign minister and director general for Western Europe at Iran’s Foreign Ministry, and was conveyed Tehran’s “strong protest” at the UK’s “irresponsible and destructive” approach toward Iran.
尤塞菲彻底否认了英国的指控,并表示英国当局不能利用“对德黑兰的无根据指责”来逃避英国在美国和以色列对伊朗军事行动中的参与责任。他还指责英国收容了对德黑兰持敌意的团体和个人。
Yousefi categorically rejected the British allegations and said UK authorities could not use “baseless accusations” against Tehran to avoid responsibility for Britain’s participation in US and Israeli military attacks against Iran. He also accused the UK of hosting groups and individuals hostile to Tehran.
尤塞菲要求伦敦尽快提供支持其对RAF Fairford事件指控的证据,并警告称,如果伦敦未能提供证据,伊朗将“严重重新考虑”其与英国的关系,并表示英国政府应对后果负责。肖特表示,他将把伊朗的立场转达给英国当局,据IRNA报道。
Yousefi demanded that London provide evidence supporting the allegations concerning the incident at RAF Fairford “as soon as possible.”He warned that Iran would “seriously reconsider” its relations with the UK if London failed to provide the evidence, saying the British government would bear responsibility for the consequences. Shorter said he would convey Iran’s position to British authorities, according to IRNA.
此争议源于9月27日发生在英格兰西南部军事基地附近的安全事件。RAF Fairford基地曾被美国轰炸机用于对伊朗的打击行动。
The dispute follows a Sept. 27 security incident near the military base in southwest England. The RAF Fairford base was used by US bombers during strikes against Iran.
英国警方曾以涉嫌恐怖主义和爆炸物罪逮捕五名男子,随后他们被释放保释。
British police arrested five men on suspicion of terrorism and explosives offenses, later releasing them on bail.
英国首相安迪·伯纳姆周一表示,该事件“高度可能”在伊朗策划,“几乎可以肯定”由伊朗革命卫队指挥。伦敦还对两名伊朗公民实施了制裁。
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said on Monday that the incident was “highly likely” coordinated in Iran and “almost certainly” directed by the IRGC. London also sanctioned two Iranian nationals.
英国、美国以及另外27个国家也在一份声明中支持英国将该事件归咎于德黑兰的结论。
The UK, US and 27 other countries also backed Britain’s attribution of the incident to Tehran in a statement.
