US warns Iran at UN of 'severe consequences' in case of new attacks
UNITED NATIONS, Oct 28 (Reuters) -The United States warned Iran at the United Nations Security Council on Monday of "severe consequences" if it undertakes any further aggressive acts against Israel or U.S. personnel in the Middle East.美国在联合国安全理事会警告伊朗，如果其在中东对以色列或美国人员采取任何进一步的攻击行为，将面临“严重后果”。"We will not hesitate to act in self-defense. Let there be no confusion. The United States does not want to see further escalation. We believe this should be the end of the direct exchange of fire between Israel and Iran," U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the 15-member council.美国驻联合国大使琳达·托马斯-格林菲尔德告诉15个成员国的安理会：“我们不会犹豫采取自卫行动。请不要混淆。美国不希望看到进一步的升级。我们认为这应该是以色列和伊朗之间直接交火的结束。”The Security Council met after Israel struck missile factories and other sites in Iran before dawn on Saturday. It was retaliation for Iran's Oct. 1 attack on Israel with about 200 ballistic missiles.在以色列于上周六黎明前袭击伊朗的导弹工厂和其他地点后，安理会召开会议。这是对伊朗在10月1日用约200枚弹道导弹攻击以色列的报复。Iran's U.N. Ambassador Amir Saied Iravani accused Washington of being "complicit" through military support for its ally.伊朗驻联合国大使阿米尔·赛义德·伊拉瓦尼指责美国通过对其盟友的军事支持而“共谋”。"Iran has consistently championed diplomacy," he told the council. "However, as a sovereign state, the Islamic Republic of Iran reserves its inherent right to respond at a time of its choosing to this act of aggression."他说：“伊朗始终支持外交。然而，作为一个主权国家，伊朗伊斯兰共和国保留在其选择的时机对这一侵略行为作出反应的固有权利。”Israel's U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon called on the Security Council to impose "crippling sanctions" on Iran's military and economic infrastructure and "take the necessary measures to prevent a lunatic regime from attaining nuclear capabilities."以色列驻联合国大使丹尼·达农呼吁安理会对伊朗的军事和经济基础设施实施“致命制裁”，并“采取必要措施防止这个疯狂政权获得核能力”。He described Israel's strikes on Iran as "measured and proportionate" and said it would continue to defend itself.他形容以色列对伊朗的袭击为“适度和相称”，并表示以色列将继续自卫。"Any further aggression will be met with consequences that are swift and decisive," Danon told the council, adding that "Israel does not seek war."达农告诉安理会：“任何进一步的侵略都将面临迅速而果断的后果”，并补充道：“以色列并不寻求战争。”
