伊拉克总理阿里·扎伊迪已告知美国，巴格达不会允许其领土被用于攻击邻国，与此同时，其外交部长警告称，对伊朗的新战争将给伊拉克带来“灾难”。
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi has told the United States Baghdad will not let its territory be used to attack neighbouring countries, as his foreign minister warned that a new war on Iran would be a “disaster” for Iraq.
据扎伊迪办公室称，扎伊迪周四与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普通了电话，当时外交努力正在加强，以避免美国重新对伊朗发动打击。
Al-Zaidi spoke to US President Donald Trump over the phone on Thursday, according to his office, as diplomatic efforts intensify to avert renewed US strikes on Iran.
扎伊迪办公室表示，两人“讨论了该地区不断演变的局势、安全事态发展以及下一阶段的前景”。
The two men “discussed the evolving situation in the region, security developments, and prospects for the next phase,” al-Zaidi’s office said.
办公室补充称，总理重申了伊拉克的呼吁，“要求尊重国家主权，且伊拉克领土不得被用作攻击邻国的发射点”。
The prime minister reaffirmed Iraq’s call “for respect for the sovereignty of states and for Iraqi territory not to be used as a launching point for attacks against neighbouring countries,” it added.
办公室称，他还强调了外交和对话的必要性，以维护该地区的安全与稳定。
He also stressed the need for diplomacy and dialogue to safeguard the security and stability of the region, it said.
伊拉克与伊朗接壤，自特朗普二月发动对伊朗的战争以来，一直在努力在美国和伊朗利益之间保持平衡。
Iraq, which neighbours Iran, has struggled to maintain a balancing act between US and Iranian interests since Trump launched the war on Iran in February.
自五月就职以来，扎伊迪已将解除国内所有民兵武装作为优先事项，其中包括几个在战争期间为支持伊朗而在该地区发动袭击的强大亲伊朗团体。
Since taking office in May, al-Zaidi has prioritised the disarmament of all militias in the country, including several powerful pro-Iran groups that have launched attacks in support of Iran across the region during the war.
外交部长福阿德·侯赛因周四对底格里斯电视台表示，美国重新对伊朗发动军事打击的可能性“并非秘密”，并警告伊拉克武装团体不要参与任何伊朗的报复行动。
Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein told Dijlah TV on Thursday that the potential of renewed US military strikes against Iran is “not a secret,” and warned Iraqi armed groups against joining in any Iranian retaliation.
他说：“将伊拉克社会推入战争将导致灾难。我们没有为战争做好准备。无论是伊拉克社会还是武装部队都没有为战争做好准备。”侯赛因表示，在美国打击伊朗后，伊拉克已沦为战场，该国遭受来自美国和伊朗的袭击，以及来自国内武装团体的袭击。
“Pushing Iraqi society into the war will lead to a disaster,” he said. “We are not prepared for war. Neither Iraqi society nor the armed forces are prepared for war.”Hussein said Iraq had been turned into a battlefield after the US struck Iran, with the country coming under attacks from both the US and Iran, as well as from armed groups inside the country.
“我们不属于任何轴心，也不希望让伊拉克竞技场变成战场，”他说。“我们与美国关系良好，与邻国伊朗关系也很好……我们需要一个明确的政策，即我们不是战争的一部分，也不想成为战争的一部分。”自战争爆发以来，伊拉克已损失超过600亿美元的石油收入，因为其约90%的石油出口通常通过霍尔木兹海峡，而当德黑兰关闭该水道时，这些出口在很大程度上被切断。石油约占伊拉克联邦预算的90%。
“We are not part of any axis, and we do not want to let the Iraqi arena be turned into a battlefield,” he said. “We have good relations with the US and with our neighbour Iran… We need a clear policy that we are not a part of the war, and we do not want to be a part of the war.”Since the war began, Iraq has lost more than $60bn in oil revenues, as about 90 percent of its oil exports normally pass through the Strait of Hormuz and were largely cut off when Tehran closed the waterway. Oil accounts for about 90 percent of Iraq’s federal budget.
从那时起，伊拉克一直是极少数获得伊朗豁免、可自由通过霍尔木兹海峡的国家之一。
Since then, Iraq has been one of the few countries that have been granted exemption by Iran to pass freely through the Strait of Hormuz.
