美国财政部已正式要求伊拉克关闭除两处以外的所有与伊朗接壤的边境口岸，这是华盛顿加大对德黑兰经济施压行动的一部分。伊拉克外交部长福阿德·侯赛因在接受卡塔尔半岛电视台采访时透露了这一消息，该采访于周日播出。
The US Treasury has formally asked Iraq to close all but two of its border crossings with Iran as part of Washington’s efforts to increase economic pressure on Tehran, Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein told the Qatar-based Al Jazeera channel in an interview aired Sunday. Hussein said Washington proposed keeping one crossing open in Iraq’s Kurdish Region and another elsewhere in the country.
侯赛因表示，华盛顿提议在伊拉克库尔德地区保留一处口岸开放，在该国其他地区再保留一处。他称这两处口岸尚未确定。
He said the two crossings had yet to be identified. “Closing the border crossings could be a punishment for Iran, but it would also hurt Iraq,” Hussein said.
侯赛因说：“关闭边境口岸可能是对伊朗的一种惩罚，但也会损害伊拉克。贸易会停止，人员往来会停止，这将在经济上影响我们。”他补充道：“美国人仍在要求关闭口岸，我们正在与他们磋商。”
“Trade would stop, movement would stop, and that would affect us economically.”“The Americans are still asking for the crossings to be closed, and we are in talks with them,” he added.
侯赛因表示，目前尚不清楚拟议的限制措施将适用于访客、商业运输，还是适用于所有跨境流动。
Hussein said it remained unclear whether the proposed restrictions would apply to visitors, commercial traffic or all movement across the border.
他说，伊拉克与伊朗接壤的边境线最长，官方和非官方口岸从北部的库尔德地区一直延伸至南部的巴士拉。
He said Iraq shares its longest border with Iran, with official and unofficial crossings stretching from the Kurdish Region in the north to Basra in the south.
美国中央司令部（CENTCOM）周六宣布成立一个新特遣部队，旨在破坏伊朗利用陆路运输先进武器和其他物资的活动，进一步扩大华盛顿对德黑兰的施压。
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) on Saturday announced the establishment of a new task force aimed at disrupting Iran’s use of land routes to transport advanced weapons and other materials, expanding Washington’s pressure on Tehran.
石油出口损失与地区紧张局势 侯赛因估计，战争伊始伊拉克因无法通过霍尔木兹海峡出口石油，持续约四个月，造成约600亿美元损失。
Oil export losses and regional tensions Hussein estimated that Iraq lost about $60 billion after it was unable to export oil through the Strait of Hormuz for roughly four months at the start of the war.
他表示，在中断之前，伊拉克日出口石油约330万至340万桶。
Before the disruption, he said, Iraq was exporting around 3.3 million to 3.4 million barrels a day.
侯赛因还警告称，该地区军事行动可能重启，并表示巴格达反对利用伊拉克领土攻击邻国。
Hussein also warned that military operations could resume in the region and said Baghdad opposed the use of Iraqi territory to attack neighboring countries.
他说，伊拉克和伊朗正在联合调查一起针对沙特阿拉伯的袭击事件，据巴格达掌握的信息，该袭击是从伊拉克境内靠近伊朗边境处发动的。
He said Iraq and Iran were jointly investigating an attack on Saudi Arabia that, according to information received by Baghdad, was launched from inside Iraq near the Iranian border.
关于与伊拉克武装派别的对话，侯赛因表示，总理已与四个团体达成谅解，将其武器置于国家控制之下，同时仍在与另外两个团体进行讨论。他说：“我们希望通过对话和谈判，将武器置于国家控制之下。”
On talks with Iraqi armed factions, Hussein said the prime minister had reached understandings with four groups on bringing their weapons under state control, while discussions continued with two others. “We hope to bring weapons under state control through dialogue and negotiations,” he said.
