卡達稱其斡旋美國與伊朗的努力仍在持續，以防局勢升高

11月7日（路透）—— 半島電視台週六報導，卡達（Qatar）總理表示，卡達在美國（US）與伊朗（Iran）之間的斡旋仍在持續，以防區域局勢失控升高。Nov 7 (Reuters) - Qatar's Prime Minister said the country's mediation efforts between the US and Iran were continuing to prevent the situation in the region from spiraling out of control, Al Jazeera TV reported on Saturday.

卡達總理謝赫穆罕默德・本・阿卜杜拉赫曼・阿勒薩尼（Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani）表示，即使在期中選舉後，美國政府仍願意尋求解決方案，這顯示華府對達成協議的興趣並未改變。The US administration remained willing to find a solution even after the midterm elections, signalling that Washington's interest in reaching an agreement had not changed, Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani said.

阿勒薩尼表示，已取得重大進展，並對能夠達成解決方案表達信心。Significant progress had been made and Al-Thani expressed confidence that a settlement could be reached.

他說：「我們不能等到完美協議才行動；我們希望達成一項好的協議。」"We cannot wait to reach a perfect agreement; we hope to reach a good agreement," he said.

伊朗半官方塔斯尼姆通訊社週六表示，初步報告顯示有兩枚飛彈擊中格什姆島，並補充說，目前尚無關於可能損害的官方資訊。Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency said on Saturday that initial reports indicated two missiles had struck Qeshm Island, adding there was no official information on possible damage.

美國尚未宣布對伊朗境內目標發動任何攻擊。The United States has not yet announced any attack on targets inside Iran.

區域內各國先前一直預期，美國總統川普（Donald Trump）在週二期中選舉前幾週暫緩對伊朗發動攻擊後，可能會在投票結束後重啟攻擊。伊朗已多次表示，若遭受新的攻擊，將攻擊鄰近國家的美國與以色列目標作為回應。Countries in the region had been anticipating that US President Donald Trump, who has held off on strikes on Iran during the weeks leading up to Tuesday's midterm elections, could restart attacks once the voting is over. Iran has repeatedly said it would respond to new attacks by striking at US and Israeli targets in neighboring countries.

伊朗自9月以來一直提出自己的7天計畫，但迄今遭川普拒絕。該計畫要求華府解除對伊朗港口的封鎖、解凍資產，並批准一條由伊朗支持、穿越荷姆茲海峽的航線，之後這條具爭議的水道將重新開放。Iran has been proposing its own seven-day plan since September, so far rejected by Trump. It calls for Washington to lift a blockade of Iranian ports, unfreeze assets and approve an Iranian-backed route through the Strait of Hormuz, after which the contested waterway would be reopened.
