伊拉克议会已任命部长填补空缺的内阁职务，包括一名受美国制裁的副总理。
Iraq's parliament has appointed ministers to vacant Cabinet posts, including a deputy prime minister under U.S. sanctions.
卡西姆·阿卜杜勒-扎赫拉 巴格达讯 伊拉克议会周四投票任命部长填补先前空缺的内阁职务，完成该国政府组建——其中包括一名受美国制裁的副总理。
QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA BAGHDAD — Iraq’s parliament voted Thursday to appoint ministers to previously vacant Cabinet posts and complete the country’s government - including a deputy prime minister who is under U.S. sanctions.
被任命为该职位的莱斯·哈扎利是卡伊斯·哈扎利的兄弟，卡伊斯·哈扎利是伊朗支持的阿萨伊布·阿勒·哈克民兵组织的领导人。莱斯·哈扎利于2007年被美军逮捕，指控与当年1月针对卡尔巴拉美军的袭击有关，该袭击导致五名美军士兵丧生。
Laith al-Khazali, appointed to that post, is the brother of Qais al-Khazali, leader of the Iran-backed Asaib Ahl al-Haq militia. Laith al-Khazali was arrested by U.S. forces in 2007 over allegations related to an attack targeting American forces in Karbala in January of that year, which resulted in the deaths of five U.S. soldiers.
他于2009年6月从美军拘留中获释。2019年，美国财政部对他实施制裁，理由是他在阿萨伊布·阿勒·哈克中的领导角色，以及涉及人权侵犯和2007年袭击的指控。
He was released from U.S. custody in June 2009. In 2019, the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on him, citing his leadership role in Asaib Ahl al-Haq and allegations involving human rights abuses as well as the 2007 attack.
他被任命为高级政府职位，引发了人们对其可能对巴格达与华盛顿关系产生影响的疑问。伊拉克总理阿里·扎伊迪在就任时得到了美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的支持，并与华盛顿关系密切，但他也一直寻求与伊朗保持关系。
His appointment to a senior government position raises questions about its potential implications for relations between Baghdad and Washington. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi was backed by U.S. President Donald Trump when he took the post and has strong relations with Washington, but he has also sought to maintain relations with Iran.
过去的伊拉克政府也曾试图平衡与华盛顿和德黑兰的关系，但自美国和伊朗于2月28日开战以来，这种平衡变得更加困难。美国方面对该任命尚未立即发表官方声明。
Past Iraqi governments have also sought to balance relations with Washington and Tehran, but the balancing act has become more difficult since the U.S. and Iran went to war on Feb. 28. There was no immediate official statement from the U.S. on the appointment.
美国共和党众议员乔·威尔逊在X上发文称，哈扎利“是一名被指定的恐怖分子和伊朗傀儡，其民兵组织‘真主党之友’杀害了美国人和伊拉克人。”
Republican U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson wrote on X that al Khazali “is a designated terrorist and Iranian puppet whose militia AAH killed Americans and Iraqis.”
“他和ISIS没什么两样，甚至可能更糟，”威尔逊说。“他被任命为伊拉克副总理，这令人愤慨，但遗憾的是并不令人震惊。”议会还任命了另外两名副总理，以及新的内政部长、国防部长、规划部长、高等教育与科学研究部长和文化部长。其他内阁职位此前五个月已任命完毕。
“He is no better than ISIS, maybe even worse,” Wilson said. “It is outrageous but sadly not shocking that he has been appointed deputy PM of Iraq.”The parliament also appointed two other deputy prime ministers, as well as a new interior minister, defense minister, planning minister, minister of higher education and scientific research, and culture minister. The other Cabinet posts had been appointed five months earlier.
阿尔·扎伊迪在一份声明中表示，随着空缺职位的填补，“我们正开启一个加速、勤奋工作的阶段”，并承诺“推进我们政府优先事项和方案的实施，并满足所有伊拉克人的期望。”他表示，政府在过去几个月中在复杂的国内外形势下工作，指出该地区的战争给伊拉克带来了特殊的经济挑战，此外还有安全挑战。
Al-Zaidi said in a statement that with the vacant posts filled, “we are embarking on a phase of accelerated, diligent work” and pledged to “move forward in implementing our government’s priorities and program, and in fulfilling the aspirations of all Iraqis.”He said the government had worked over the past several months amid complicated domestic and international circumstances, noting that the war in the region had imposed exceptional economic challenges on Iraq, in addition to security challenges.
阿尔·扎伊迪曾承诺打击腐败并加强伊拉克的主权，既通过完成美军从该国撤出，也通过解除非国家武装团体的武装。
Al-Zaidi has vowed to fight corruption and strengthen Iraq’s sovereignty, both by completing the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the country and by disarming non-state armed groups.
一些最强大的民兵组织表示，他们无意放弃武器，尽管“真主党之友”是少数几个同意交出武器的组织之一。
Some of the most powerful militias have said they have no intention of giving up their weapons, although Asaib Ahl al-Haq is one of a handful that have agreed to hand over their arms.
