根据福克斯新闻频道获取的一份情报备忘录，伊朗已“大幅增加”针对海外美国人员的企图，在中东和其他国家的谋杀美国人阴谋已进入“高级阶段”。
Iran has "substantially increased" efforts to target U.S. personnel abroad, with plots to kill Americans reaching "advanced stages" in the Middle East and other countries, according to an intelligence memo obtained by Fox News.
这份备忘录于周五由国家情报总监杰伊·克莱顿发送给国务卿马可·鲁比奥。就在几天前，美国国务院因伊朗支持的胡塞武装发动的袭击不断升级，下令沙特阿拉伯的非紧急美国政府雇员及其家属撤离。美国官员证实了这份未经保密处理的情报备忘录的真实性，该备忘录此前由Axios网站率先报道。
The memo, sent Friday to Secretary of State Marco Rubio by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, comes just days after the State Department ordered non-emergency U.S. government employees and their family members to leave Saudi Arabia due to escalating attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels U.S. officials confirmed the authenticity of the unclassified intelligence memo, which was first reported by Axios.
备忘录指出：“具体而言，通过各种渠道，我们收到了情报，表明伊朗已大幅增加针对美国人员的企图。”
"Specifically, through various channels, we have received intelligence that Iran has substantially increased efforts to target U.S. personnel," the memo states.
备忘录接着指出：“伊朗人针对美国公民的致命阴谋策划活动，无论在中东还是在某些其他国家，都已进入高级阶段。”
"The lethal plotting efforts by the Iranians against U.S. citizens have reached advanced stages in both the Middle East and certain other countries," the memo continues.
备忘录还指出，情报官员将努力降低某些情报的保密级别，以便将其分发和共享给国务院人员。
The memo also states that intelligence officials will work to downgrade the classification of certain intelligence so it can be disseminated and shared with State Department personnel.
一名美国官员向福克斯新闻数字频道表示，政府在持续监测和评估不断演变的安全威胁。
A U.S. official told Fox News Digital that the government continually monitors and evaluates evolving security threats.
这名官员说：“在使馆人员配备方面，我们不断评估关于安全环境的新信息。胡塞武装袭击的威胁以及针对中东地区处于离境状态使馆的美国官员的伊朗恐怖主义阴谋，正在为我们关于使馆人员配备调整的决定提供参考。”这份关于伊朗企图针对中东地区美国外交官和官员的情报报告出炉之际，总统唐纳德·特朗普仍在权衡，如果德黑兰未能与华盛顿达成协议，是否对伊朗发动新一轮军事打击。
"When it comes to our staffing at embassies, we constantly evaluate new information about the security environment," the official said. "The threat of Houthi attacks and of Iranian terror plots targeting U.S. officials are informing our decisions on staffing adjustments for embassies on RO Status in the region." The intelligence report on Iranian efforts to target U.S. diplomats and officials in the Middle East also comes as President Donald Trump continues to weigh another round of military strikes against Iran if Tehran does not reach an agreement with Washington.
本周早些时候，国务院针对有关其指示非核心政府人员及其家属离开整个海湾地区的报道做出回应，澄清说撤离令仅适用于沙特阿拉伯。
Earlier this week, the State Department addressed reports that it directed nonessential government personnel and their dependents to leave the entire Gulf region, clarifying that the departure order applies only to Saudi Arabia.
*国务院发言人托米·皮戈特表示，任何关于可能发生更广泛地区关闭的说法都是“不准确的”。国务院表示：“美国国务院对沙特阿拉伯的非紧急美国政府雇员及其家属下达了撤离令。”
State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said that any claims of a potential broader regional shutdown were "inaccurate." "The U.S. Department of State issued an ordered departure for non-emergency U.S. government employees and their family members in Saudi Arabia," the department said.
国务院此前曾在9月下旬更新了对在中东境内及过境旅行的美国人的警告。
The State Department previously renewed its warning to Americans traveling in and through the Middle East in late September.
