Since coming to power in 1979, the Iranian regime has been implicated1 in assassinations2, terrorist plots, and terrorist attacks in more than 40 countries. As Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said, “The regime’s brutality4 and amorality know no international borders.” On August 21, the annual Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism, the U.S. Department of State, to both honor and remember such victims, sanctioned 14 Iranian human rights offenders5, 13 of whom were regime officials involved in a brutal3 and well-planned attack in Switzerland in 1990. The 13 assassins, posing as Iranian diplomats6, acted on the highest orders of their government. As in so many of the plots conducted abroad by the regime, these agents of terror pursued and murdered to silence the voice of an Iranian dissident. However, as Secretary of State Pompeo said in a statement announcing the designations, “It is not only abroad where the Iranian regime uses fear and violence to control Iranian citizens.”

自伊朗政权1979年上台以来,参与了40多个国家的暗杀、恐怖阴谋和恐怖袭击行动。美国国务卿蓬佩奥表示,“伊朗政权残暴、不辨是非的行径不受国界制约”。8月21日是“纪念和悼念恐怖主义受害者国际日”,当日,为纪念和缅怀这些受害者,美国国务院制裁了14名伊朗人权侵犯者,其中有13位是伊朗政府官员,在1990年的瑞士,他们参与了一场精心策划的残酷袭击行动。这13名刺客伪装成伊朗外交官,执行伊朗政府的最高指令。正如伊朗政权在国外策划的许多阴谋一样,这些恐怖分子为了压制一名异见人士的声音而对其进行追捕和谋杀。然而,正如国务卿蓬佩奥在宣布制裁的声明中所说,“伊朗政权不只是在国外才利用恐吓和暴力来控制伊朗公民。”

The United States also publicly sanctioned Hojatollah Khodaei Souri, director of Iran’s notorious Evin prison, where political prisoners are subjected to cruel and prolonged torture, including rape7, beatings, and lack of medical care; and where foreigners are held hostage by the regime in order to elicit8 concessions9 from their home governments. The designations of these 14 Iranian officials for their involvement in gross human rights abuses mean that they and their immediate10 family members are barred entry into the United States. ”These actions send a message of support to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s many victims worldwide that we will promote accountability for those who spread terror and violence. The United States will continue to pressure Iran to treat its own people with dignity and respect,” said Secretary of State Pompeo. “The United States looks forward to the day when the perpetrators of Iran’s innumerable human rights violations11 will face true justice and hopes that these measures offer some comfort and reassurance12 to the families and friends of those lost to the Iranian regime’s violence and oppression at home and abroad.” That was an editorial reflecting the views of the United States government.

美国还公开宣布对伊朗臭名昭著的埃文监狱典狱长贾图拉·霍代伊·苏里实施制裁。在埃文监狱,政治犯们遭受长期的残忍酷刑,包括强奸、殴打以及缺乏医疗;伊朗政权还把外国人质关在这里,以争取人质所在国家的政府做出让步。美国对这14名参与严重侵犯人权行为的伊朗官员实施制裁,意味着他们及其直系亲属禁止入境美国。“这些行动向世界各地很多伊朗伊斯兰共和国的受害者发出了支持的信息,即我们将加紧向那些散布恐怖和暴力的人员追责。美国将继续向伊朗施压,要伊朗尊重自己的人民,”国务卿蓬佩奥表示。“美国盼望有朝一日,伊朗的那些犯下无数侵权行为的肇事者们能够绳之以法,并希望这些制裁措施能够让伊朗国内外暴力和压迫行为的死难者家人与朋友感到些许宽慰。”这是一篇反映美国政府政策立场的社论。
