Episode Details

In an attempt to tighten the noose on Iran's economic lifeline, the United States administration launched "Operation Economic Outcast: Total Isolation of the Iranian Regime", seeking to sever the country's financial connections around the world. Yet one of the grave consequences of this aggressive restrictive measure is the collateral damage it inflicts on the global economy.

为进一步扼住伊朗的经济命脉，美国政府启动了所谓的“经济弃民活动：全面孤立伊朗政权”，企图切断伊朗和全球景荣体系的联系。然而，这种咄咄逼人的限制措施所造成的一个严重后果之一，就是殃及全球经济。

By weaponizing the US financial prowess and targeting any entity that allegedly does business with "blacklisted" Iranian companies, the US seems ready to turn a regional conflict it started, along with Israel, into a global economic disruption and a potentially existential threat to the very "rules-based" order it claims to uphold.

通过将自身的金融实力武器化，美国对任何被指与遭其列入“黑名单”的伊朗企业开展业务的实体实施打压。如此看来，美国似乎准备将其与以色列共同挑起的一场地区冲突，演变成一场全球性经济动荡，甚至对其口口声声维护的所谓“基于规则的秩序”构成生存性威胁。

Kameng Trading Ltd, a Hong Kong-registered company, has become the latest Chinese victim of the US administration's escalating enforcement drive, after the US Treasury Department announced on Friday it would sanction the company over alleged "money-laundering" ties to an Iranian institution — claims that, as ever with such US allegations, have not been substantiated. The move comes only days after the US imposed a fresh round of Iran-related sanctions against multiple Chinese entities. The US administration has also hinted at possible sanctions against major Chinese financial institutions over their alleged "links" to Iran.

美国财政部日前宣布，将以涉嫌与一家伊朗机构存在“洗钱”联系为由，对香港注册企业楷萌贸易有限公司（Kameng Trading Ltd）实施制裁，使其成为美国政府不断升级制裁执法行动的最新中国受害者。与美国以往类似指控一样，相关说法并未得到事实证实。就在几天前，美国刚刚以涉伊朗为由对多家中国实体实施新一轮制裁。美国政府还暗示，可能因所谓与伊朗存在“联系”，对中国主要金融机构实施制裁。

The reckless moves by the US constitute a flagrant abuse of extraterritorial jurisdiction, and are in blatant violation of international law and the basic norms governing international relations. These measures not only threaten to disrupt global energy markets and exacerbate inflation, but also hurt countries that are not party to the US-Iran conflict. The punishment the US metes out against third parties is about the US leveraging its control over the global financial system to force other countries into doing what it wants.

美方这些肆意妄为的举动，是对域外管辖权的公然滥用，严重违反国际法和国际关系基本准则。这些措施不仅可能扰乱全球能源市场、加剧通胀，还将损害那些并非美伊冲突当事方国家的利益。美国之所以惩罚第三方，本质上就是利用其对全球金融体系的影响力，迫使其他国家按照美国的意愿行事。
