Bessent believes international sanctions will 'minimise the need' to return to war with Iran US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged US allies to support Washington's efforts to "squash" the Iranian economy.
贝森特相信国际制裁将“最大限度地减少”与伊朗重新开战的必要性 美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特敦促美国盟友支持华盛顿“压制”伊朗经济的努力。
"We are going to collapse this regime.
“我们将推翻这个政权。
It is time for our allies and the rest of the world to make a decision," Bessent told broadcaster CNBC. "You are either with us or against us," he said.
现在是我们的盟友和世界其他国家做出决定的时候了,”贝森特告诉 CNBC 广播公司。 “你要么支持我们,要么反对我们,”他说。
Bessent's remarks come after US President Donald Trump said that countries providing "any type of lifeline" to the Islamic Republic's regime will face "tremendous economic consequences".
贝森特发表此番言论之前,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示,向伊斯兰共和国政权提供“任何类型的生命线”的国家都将面临“巨大的经济后果”。
Bessent did not offer any insight on the measures Trump's team was looking to implement, but said the planned pressure campaign on the Iranian economy would minimise the need of a "large-scale kinetic restart" of the conflict.
贝森特没有对特朗普团队寻求实施的措施提供任何见解,但表示计划对伊朗经济施压将最大限度地减少冲突“大规模重启”的必要性。
How Iran's new regime is very different to what came before Faisal Islam: Iran war pause is welcome but the economic scars will last The US and Israel started a war with Iran in February, arguing the strikes were to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, which Tehran has consistently denied.
伊朗的新政权与以前有何不同 费萨尔·伊斯兰:伊朗战争暂停值得欢迎,但经济伤痕将持续 美国和以色列于二月份与伊朗开战,称袭击是为了阻止伊朗发展核武器,但德黑兰一直否认这一点。
Iran, however, responded by attacking Israel, US bases across the Middle East as well as targeting Gulf Arab allies of the US.
然而,伊朗的回应是攻击以色列、美国在中东的基地以及美国的海湾阿拉伯盟友。
Since then, Iran has largely closed the Strait of Hormuz - the waterway through which some 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas used to transit - causing wild fluctuations in prices on world markets.
此后,伊朗基本上关闭了霍尔木兹海峡——全球约20%的石油和液化天然气都通过这条水道过境——导致世界市场价格剧烈波动。
The US and Iran agreed a ceasefire in April - and then another one in June, both aimed at facilitating negotiations to end the conflict.
美国和伊朗于 4 月达成停火协议,并于 6 月再次达成停火协议,旨在促进结束冲突的谈判。
However, the truce has been consistently broken and talks appear to have stalled but, instead of returning to war, Trump is gearing up to unleash the "most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country".
然而,休战协议一直被打破,谈判似乎陷入僵局,但特朗普并没有重返战争,而是准备发动“有史以来针对任何国家采取的最具毁灭性的经济行动”。
Bessent said the new economic penalties will be part of "the greatest co-ordinated economic isolation in the history of the world".
贝森特表示,新的经济处罚将是“世界历史上最大规模的协调经济孤立”的一部分。
"If you insist on doing business with them, either transferring money, buying their oil... then the US Treasury and the US government will put [their] full might and force towards enforcing against you," the treasure secretary said referring to the US's international trading partners.
这位财政部长在谈到美国的国际贸易伙伴时表示:“如果你坚持与他们做生意,要么转移资金,要么购买他们的石油……那么美国财政部和美国政府将全力以赴对你采取行动。”
Bessent confirmed further details about the plan will be made public at a press conference on 24 August.
Bessent 确认有关该计划的更多细节将于 8 月 24 日的新闻发布会上公布。
The Iranian economy has long been struggling under the weight of decades of international sanctions, which left it in tatters.

Earlier this year, Iran experienced weeks of protests due to the spiralling cost of living and inflation – with everyday Iranians blaming the regime for their difficulties.

At the time, Trump told demonstrators "help is on the way" as he urged them to "keep protesting".
当时,特朗普告诉示威者“援助即将到来”,并敦促他们“继续抗议”。
The attacks on Iran ensued - and later led to the US to imposed a blockade of Iranian ports, threatening further sanctions.

In April, the US launched a wave of sanctions on foreign banks and firms doing business with Tehran after it became apparent military operations had not led to the overthrow of Iran's regime nor its surrender, as Trump had initially hoped.

Operation Economic Fury, announced by the US Treasury Department and the Pentagon, aimed at degrading Tehran's warfighting capability by cutting off its revenue streams, and also included a naval blockade aimed at stopping Iranian exports.

Iran is no stranger to sanctions – a raft were first imposed shortly after the Islamic Revolution of 1979, during the US embassy hostage crisis.
伊朗对制裁并不陌生——1979 年伊斯兰革命后不久,美国大使馆人质危机期间首次实施了一系列制裁。
Since then, more sanctions have been implemented, but the Iranian government has not collapsed - in fact it has succeeded in controlling dissent, most recently by cracking down on the protesters earlier this year.
此后,实施了更多制裁,但伊朗政府并没有垮台——事实上,它成功地控制了异议,最近的一次是在今年早些时候镇压了抗议者。
One resident in the central Iranian province of Khuzestan told the BBC that a country with a long experience with sanctions will be able to overcome the additional economic pressure that the US is aiming to impose.
