美国正在逐渐摆脱其与中东地区之间传统的“以石油换取安全”的关系，也不再寻求主导该地区，美国高级外交官汤姆·巴拉克表示。
The United States is moving away from its traditional security-for-oil relationship with the Middle East and no longer seeks to dominate the region, senior US diplomat Tom Barrack has said.
不过，他补充说，美国并没有放弃对中东地区的关注——而是在经过多年试图重塑该地区各国政府之后，重新评估自己在其中的作用。
However, it was not abandoning the Middle East, he added, speaking at the Global Security Forum in Doha on Tuesday — but rather reassessing its role, after years of attempts to reshape governments across the region.
“美国不再试图‘掌控’中东地区，”现任美国驻土耳其大使兼叙利亚问题特使的巴拉克说，“我们的目标不是控制中东，而是确保自己不会退出该地区。”巴拉克承认，越来越多的中东国家开始意识到美国干预的局限性。“大家都意识到：‘我无法依赖美国来解决我所有的问题。’”巴拉克质疑了美国以往干预行为的有效性，指出美国曾参与过中东地区的23次政权更迭。
“The US no longer wants to own,” said Barrack, who serves as US Ambassador to Turkiye and Special Envoy for Syria. “The bargain is not to control, but to not leave. We’re not leaving.”Barrack acknowledged that regional countries were increasingly recognising the limits of US involvement. “Everybody is saying: OK, I can’t rely on America to solve all my problems,” he said. Barrack questioned the effectiveness of previous interventions, saying that the US had been involved in 23 regime changes across the wider Middle East.
“每次我们试图干预、更换领导人或政权，结果似乎都是一场错误，”他说。
“Every time we try and intervene, change the person or the regime, it seems to have been a mistake,” he said.
他的这些言论正值华盛顿与德黑兰试图谈判结束美以对伊朗的战争之际——这场战争已经破坏了地区的稳定，并扰乱了全球能源供应。
His comments come as Washington and Tehran try to negotiate an end to the US-Israeli war on Iran that has destabilised the region and disrupted global energy supplies.
政治分析师卢西亚诺·扎卡拉评价巴拉克可能是特朗普在中东问题上的“最现实”的盟友。他告诉半岛电视台（Al Jazeera），巴拉克实际上已经承认：特朗普在伊朗问题上的目标（即通过政权更迭来解决问题）不太可能实现。
Political analyst Luciano Zaccara described Barrack as probably “the most realistic of Trump’s allies” in his assessment of US involvement in the Middle East. He told Al Jazeera that Barrack had effectively acknowledged that regime change, one of Trump’s stated objectives in the war on Iran, was unlikely to succeed.
扎卡拉指出，巴拉克提到中东地区的政权更迭，实际上是在承认：“无论哪个美国政府执政，美国在中东地区的干预措施都并未取得成功。”
Zaccara said Barrack’s reference to regime changes in the Middle East was an acknowledgement “that what the US has been doing in the region has not been working, regardless of which administration it was”.
据扎卡拉分析，巴拉克虽然没有直接要求特朗普放弃对伊朗提出的“极端要求”，但他的言论已经暗示了这一点。
According to Zaccara, Barrack had stopped just short of suggesting that Trump needed to retreat from “the maximalist demands” he had made of Iran.
卡塔尔表示，尽管人们对战斗重燃的担忧日益加剧，德黑兰与华盛顿之间的谈判仍在继续。
US-Iran negotiations ongoing Qatar says negotiations between Tehran and Washington are continuing despite growing fears of renewed fighting.
卡塔尔外交部发言人马吉德·安萨里在全球安全论坛上单独发言时表示，调解人正继续在交战双方之间传递信息，地区伙伴也参与了达成协议的努力。
Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Majed al-Ansari, speaking separately at the Global Security Forum, said mediators were continuing to exchange messages between the warring parties, with regional partners involved in efforts to reach a deal.
他说：“我们正在双方之间斡旋，继续同我们的伙伴以及该地区其他方面一道履行调解人的职责。”安萨里表示，不应将关于谈判缺乏公开信息解读为缺乏进展。
“We are working between the parties, continuing our job as mediator with our partners and others in the region,” he said. Al-Ansari said the lack of public information about the negotiations should not be interpreted as a lack of progress.
他说：“我们听不到相关消息，恰恰是我们正在妥善履行职责的一个好迹象。”
“The fact that we’re not hearing about it is a good sign that we’re doing our job properly,” he said.
这些外交努力正值伊朗提出的为期七天的结束战争方案仍摆在桌面上，而美国尚未给出回应之际。
The diplomatic efforts come as Iran’s seven-day proposal to end the war remains on the table, with the US yet to give its response.
该方案设想重新开放霍尔木兹海峡并恢复核谈判，以换取美国做出让步，包括解除对伊朗港口的海上封锁以及放宽对德黑兰的经济制裁。
The plan envisages reopening the Strait of Hormuz and resuming nuclear negotiations in exchange for US concessions, including lifting the naval blockade on Iranian ports and easing economic sanctions on Tehran.
分析师内加尔·莫塔扎维表示，外交大门依然敞开，但谈判因协议的条款和顺序而陷入停滞。
Analyst Negar Mortazavi said the diplomatic door remained open, but negotiations were stalled over the terms and sequencing of an agreement.
她在多哈论坛间隙接受半岛电视台采访时说：“德黑兰希望结束战争，但不准备在军事或经济压力下投降。”
“Tehran wants to end the war, but it is not prepared to surrender under military or economic pressure,” she told Al Jazeera on the sidelines of the forum in Doha.
霍尔木兹海峡依然是一个主要的引爆点，针对商业航运的袭击引发了对全球能源供应的担忧。在美国和以色列对伊朗发动战争之前，全球五分之一的石油和天然气供应通过该海峡过境。
The Strait of Hormuz remains a major flashpoint, with attacks on commercial shipping raising concerns over global energy supplies. Before the US-Israeli war on Iran, one-fifth of the world’s oil and gas supplies transited through the strait.
莫塔扎维表示，这种升级是德黑兰在军事劣势下保持对华盛顿杠杆作用战略的一部分。
Mortazavi said the escalation was part of Tehran’s strategy to maintain leverage against Washington despite its military disadvantages.
“伊朗的筹码已减弱但并未消失，”她说。“转移油轮并不等同于恢复安全、可预期且正常的海上交通。”
“Iran’s leverage has diminished but has not disappeared,” she said. “Moving tankers is not the same as restoring safe, predictable and normal maritime traffic.”
据莫塔扎维称，德黑兰希望增加特朗普发动战争的经济和政治成本，同时向未来的美国政府发出信号，即对伊朗采取军事行动将付出代价。但她警告称，持续升级对伊朗和更广泛的地区构成严重风险。
According to Mortazavi, Tehran wants to increase the economic and political costs of the war for Trump, while signalling to future US administrations that military action against Iran carries consequences. But she warned that continued escalation posed serious risks to Iran and the wider region.
“归根结底，无论是军事升级还是经济施压，都不太可能迫使伊朗屈服，”她说。
“Ultimately, neither military escalation nor economic pressure is likely to produce Iranian capitulation,” she said.
也门战事 卡塔尔外交部发言人也重申多哈支持利雅得在与也门胡塞武装的战斗中，表示支持沙特阿拉伯“捍卫其主权以应对这一袭击”。
Fighting in Yemen Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson also reaffirmed Doha’s support for Riyadh in the fighting against Yemen’s Houthi armed group, saying it backed Saudi Arabia in “defending their sovereignty against this attack”.
战事在9月升级，此前胡塞武装夺取了也门红海沿岸地区，包括港口城市摩卡。作为回应，效忠于也门国际公认政府的部队于10月4日发动了代号为“也门黎明”的攻势，并获得沙特空袭支援。
Fighting intensified in September after the Houthis seized areas along Yemen’s Red Sea coast, including the port city of Mocha. In response, forces loyal to Yemen’s internationally recognised government launched an offensive, dubbed “Dawn of Yemen”, on October 4, backed by Saudi air strikes.
胡塞武装随即以导弹和无人机袭击沙特机场、石油设施和军事设施进行报复。本月初对利雅得哈立德国王国际机场的袭击造成至少14人死亡、数百人受伤。
The Houthis have retaliated with missile and drone attacks on Saudi airports, oil facilities and military installations. Strikes on Riyadh’s King Khalid international airport earlier this month killed at least 14 people and wounded hundreds.
