美联社：伊朗革命卫队表示，该国已解除一项关于其弹道导弹射程自我宣称的2000公里（1200英里）限制，这表明在对全面战争再度爆发的担忧中，该国可能寻求开发能够打击更远目标的导弹。
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says it has lifted a self-proclaimed limit of 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles) on the range of its ballistic missiles, suggesting the country may seek to develop missiles capable of reaching more distant targets amid fears of renewed all-out war.
与此同时，暴雨袭击了加沙地带，淹没了帐篷，加剧了数十万巴勒斯坦人的苦难。以下是周六有关中东的最新消息。
Meanwhile, heavy rains lashed the Gaza Strip, flooding tents and intensifying the misery of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Here is the latest news from the Middle East on Saturday.
伊朗准军事组织革命卫队发言人的此番言论，是在该国最高领袖阿亚图拉穆杰塔巴·霍梅尼警告美国或以色列的“任何类型和级别的威胁”都将面临无地理限制的回应几天后发表的。
The comments by the spokesman of Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard came days after the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khomeini , warned that “any kind and level of threat” from the U.S. or Israel would face a response without geographic limits.
在德黑兰的一场新闻发布会上被问及导弹射程限制时，侯赛因·穆赫比将军表示：“这一限制对我们来说已经解除。”他没有说明伊朗是否拥有能够超过该限制的导弹，仅表示伊朗将“在实践中展示这些能力”而非发表声明。
Asked at a Tehran press conference about the limit on missile ranges, Gen. Hossein Mohebbi said, “That restriction has been lifted for us.”He did not say whether Iran had missiles capable of exceeding the limit, saying only Iran would “demonstrate these capabilities in practice” rather than make statements.
目前没有公开报道显示伊朗拥有能突破2000公里（1200英里）限制的导弹——这一射程已将部分希腊和巴尔干地区、整个阿拉伯半岛、累范特以及埃及大部分地区置于打击范围之内。然而，美国官员曾表示，伊朗太空计划的技术可以被改用于制造洲际弹道导弹。
Iran is not known to have missiles that can go beyond the 2,000-kilometer (1,200-mile) limit — a range that puts parts of Greece and the Balkans, the entire Arabian Peninsula, the Levant and most of Egypt within reach. However, U.S. officials have said technology from Iran’s space program can be repurposed to build intercontinental ballistic missiles.
与此同时，伊朗军方表示，霍尔木兹海峡以东的一艘油轮撞上一枚水雷后起火。军方没有透露该油轮的国籍或目的地，并称该油轮关闭了导航信标，当时正在“禁区”内航行。在加沙地带，由于大雨淹没了脆弱的帐篷、浸湿了床垫和财物，并将营地小路变成了一片泥水潭，流离失所的家庭度过了一个不眠之夜。
The Iranian military, meanwhile, said a tanker east of the Strait of Hormuz had hit a naval mine and caught fire. It did not identify the nationality or destination of the tanker, which it said had turned off its navigational beacon and was sailing in a “prohibited area.”In the Gaza Strip, displaced families spent a sleepless night as heavy rain flooded their fragile tents, soaked mattresses and belongings and turned camp pathways into pools of muddy water.
这场降雨标志着该地区超过160万住在帐篷或其他临时庇护所中的巴勒斯坦人又一个艰难冬天的开始，在这里，几乎所有人口都在以色列的军事行动中失去了家园。
The rain marks the start of another difficult winter for the more than 1.6 million Palestinians living in tents or other makeshift shelters in the territory, where nearly the entire population has lost its homes from Israel’s campaign.
马吉德·奥马里在战争中失去了四肢，在暴雨摧毁了他庇护所的木质框架和塑料布后，他拄着拐杖艰难地在帐篷之间挪动。“我们今晚不得不睡在大街上，或者找别的地方过夜，”他说。
Majed Al-Omari, who lost a limb during the war, struggled to make his way between tents on crutches after the rains tore down the wooden frame and plastic sheeting of his shelter. “We will have to sleep in the street tonight, or find somewhere else to stay,” he said.
联合国人道主义事务协调厅表示，有294,250个家庭在雨季需要庇护所援助，但现有物资仅够为18%的有需要者提供部分帮助。该机构表示，资金缺乏、采购程序缓慢以及以色列当局批准的延迟，意味着额外的物资可能要在冬季过半后才能送到巴勒斯坦人手中。
The U.N. humanitarian office has said 294,250 families need shelter assistance for the rainy season, but available supplies are enough only to give partial help to 18% of those in need. It said lack of funds, slow procurement procedures and delayed approvals by the Israeli authorities mean additional supplies may not reach Palestinians until more than halfway through winter.
