英国国防大臣韦斯·斯特里廷周一指责伊朗“厚颜无耻”，此前德黑兰将英国皇家海军和皇家空军定性为“恐怖组织”。伊朗此举还包括将英国军情六处（MI6）列为“敌对团体”，是对英国决定取缔支持伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）行为的回应。
UK Defense Secretary Wes Streeting on Monday accused Iran of “bare-faced cheek” after Tehran branded the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force “terrorist organizations.”The Iranian move, which also included labeling MI6 a “hostile group,” came in response to the British decision to outlaw support for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
在柏林与德国国防部长鲍里斯·皮斯托里乌斯举行的联合记者会上，斯特里廷回应德黑兰的举动时表示，伊朗有“国家资助恐怖主义”的记录。
Responding to Tehran’s move during a joint news conference in Berlin with German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, Streeting said Iran had a record of “state-sponsored terrorism.”
他说：“伊朗对皇家海军和皇家空军的指控根本不值得回应。”并补充称，他打算把这些指控的新闻剪报贴在楼下厕所里“作为战利品”。他表示，英国依然铭记皇家空军费尔福德基地发生的事件以及来自德黑兰的威胁，但强调外交应仍是优先事项。
“The charge levelled at the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force by Iran doesn’t really dignify a response,” he said, adding that he was minded to put press clippings of the accusations in his downstairs toilet “as a trophy.”He said Britain remained mindful of the incident at RAF Fairford and the threats coming from Tehran but stressed that diplomacy should remain the priority.
他说：“在这个阶段，我们应致力于缓和局势和外交，以应对我们与伊朗面临的所有挑战。”
“At this stage, what we should be working towards is de-escalation and diplomacy for all of the challenges that we have with Iran,” he said.
记者会还涉及更广泛的欧洲安全担忧，斯特里廷警告称，欧洲面临的威胁正在加剧。
The news conference also addressed wider European security concerns, with Streeting warning that the threat facing Europe was growing.
他说：“我们面临的威胁水平是冷战结束以来未见的，不幸的是，这种威胁水平正在上升。”
“We face a level of threat that we haven’t seen since the end of the Cold War, and unfortunately, that level of threat is growing,” he said.
他重申英国对乌克兰的支持，并呼吁北约盟国加强国防能力和工业合作。
He reiterated Britain’s support for Ukraine and called on NATO allies to strengthen their defense capabilities and industrial cooperation.
他说：“我们与乌克兰站在一起。我们毫不含糊地与乌克兰站在一起。我们将与乌克兰站在一起，直到战争结束。”
“We stand with Ukraine. We stand with Ukraine unequivocally. We stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes,” he said.
英国对德国参与下一代战机计划持开放态度 讨论还涉及欧洲防务工业的未来，包括德国有可能参与全球空战航空计划（GCAP），即英、意、日三国联合开发下一代战斗机的项目。
UK open to German participation in next-generation fighter programme The discussions also addressed the future of Europe’s defense industry, including Germany’s potential participation in the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), the joint UK-Italy-Japan project to develop a next-generation combat aircraft.
斯特里特表示，英国对德国的参与持开放态度，但强调任何决定都必须由现有的三个合作伙伴共同作出。
Streeting said Britain was open to German involvement but stressed that any decision would have to be taken jointly by the three existing partners.
“我们当然对德国参与该计划持开放态度，但这是一个由英国与意大利和日本共同作出的决定，”他说。
“We’d certainly be open to German participation in that program, but this is a decision that is taken jointly by the United Kingdom with Italy and Japan,” he said.
他说，讨论应采取“三加一格式”进行，并补充称，英国希望了解德国的军事需求，并确定利益是否存在足够的一致性。
He said discussions should take place in a “three plus one format,” adding that Britain wanted to understand Germany’s military requirements and establish whether there was sufficient alignment of interests.
