美国总统唐纳德·特朗普与卡塔尔领导人通电话，讨论缓和中东紧张局势的努力，这是近期一系列外交努力的一部分，旨在防止与伊朗爆发全面战争。
President Donald Trump spoke with Qatar’s leader by phone about efforts to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East, part of a flurry of recent diplomatic efforts to prevent a renewal of all out war with Iran.
卡塔尔埃米尔办公室周五表示，美国领导人与埃米尔谢赫·塔米姆·本·哈马德·阿勒萨尼讨论了卡塔尔为解决双方分歧、达成结束冲突的全面协议所做的努力。
The US leader and Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani discussed Qatar’s efforts to resolve the differences between the sides and secure a comprehensive agreement to end the conflict, the emir’s office said on Friday.
谢赫·塔米姆强调对话作为解决争端手段的重要性，同时指出需要保障海上航行自由和能源供应安全，这是指霍尔木兹海峡航运受限的情况。
Sheikh Tamim stressed the importance of dialogue as a means to settle disputes, alongside the need for freedom of maritime navigation and security of energy supplies, a reference to the restrictions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
在结束战争的激烈外交活动期间，卡塔尔正充当华盛顿和德黑兰之间的主要调解人，这场战争现已进入第九个月。在周二美国中期选举前夕，卡塔尔官员一直在多哈和伊朗首都之间穿梭，以敲定潜在协议，选举结果是民主党以压倒性优势击败特朗普的共和党，夺得国会控制权。
Qatar is acting as the chief mediator between Washington and Tehran during a period of intense diplomatic activity to try to end the war, which is now into its ninth month. Qatari officials had been shuttling back and forth between Doha and the Iranian capital to solidify a potential deal in the run up to the US midterm elections on Tuesday, which saw the Democrats take control of Congress in a landslide win over Trump’s Republican party.
投票结束后，特朗普表示没有立即对伊朗发动袭击的计划，导致油价下跌。布伦特原油跌破100美元，为9月以来首次，投资者押注民主党大胜降低了重返全面战斗的前景，特朗普在选举前曾多次威胁全面开战。
In the aftermath of the vote, Trump said he had no immediate plans to launch strikes on Iran, sending oil prices lower. Brent crude has plunged below $100 for the first time since September as investors wager that the Democratic sweep eases the prospect of a return to all-out fighting, which Trump had repeatedly threatened before the vote.
在其他近期外交行动中，据伊朗外交部长阿巴斯·阿拉格齐官方Telegram频道的一份声明，他在周四分别与沙特和卡塔尔同行通电话，讨论了“旨在建立地区稳定的努力”。他还与阿联酋、土耳其、科威特、塞浦路斯和约旦的外长进行了通话。
In other recent diplomatic moves, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi discussed “efforts aimed at establishing stability in the region” in separate phone calls with his Saudi and Qatari counterparts on Thursday, according to a statement on his official Telegram channel. He also spoke to his opposite numbers in the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Kuwait, Cyprus and Jordan.
根据俄罗斯总统网站发布的一份声明，伊朗最高国家安全委员会秘书穆赫辛·礼萨伊在莫斯科会见了俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京。伊朗国家运营的伊朗伊斯兰共和国广播电视台（IRIB）报道称，礼萨伊向普京转达了最高领袖穆杰塔巴·哈梅内伊的一封信函，但未透露更多细节。
Mohsen Rezaee, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, according to a statement on Russia’s presidential website.
