The American Defense5 Secretary Leon Panetta says the United States doesn't think Israel has made a decision on whether to attack Iran over its nuclear program. Mr Panetta said the critical moment for military action hadn't been reached. From Washington, Mark Mardell.
美国国防部长莱昂·帕内塔说，美国认为以色列还未就伊朗核项目问题决定是否袭击伊朗。帕内塔说采取军事行动的关键时刻尚未到来。马克·马维尔报道。
Leon Panetta has just returned from a trip to the region including Israel, and he said he did not believe that Israel had made a decision to attack Iran. Not for the first time there are persistent6 rumors7 in Washington and Israel for the attack may be only months or weeks away – a timetable dictated8 not only by military possibilities, but by America's presidential election. Some believe before the election, President Obama would have to support such an Israeli attack, but if reelected, would have a freer hand – it's certainly not the decision he wants to make now.
莱昂·帕内塔刚完成对包括以色列在内的地区的访问回国，他说自己不认为以色列已决定袭击伊朗。不断有传闻称，华盛顿和以色列几个月或几周后即将实施袭击，这样的传闻也不是第一次。这个时间表不仅取决于军事上的可能性，还要取决于美国总统选举。有人认为在选举之前，奥巴马总统必须支持以色列发动袭击，但如果再度当选，奥巴马就有更多自由权，这个决定肯定不是他现在就想做出的。
The British bank, Standard Chartered, has reached a settlement with regulators in New York who'd accused it of hiding billions of dollars worth of illegal transactions with Iran. The regulators said the bank would pay a penalty of $340m and install a monitor in its New York branch to oversee9 future transactions. From New York, Mark Gregory.
英国渣打银行与纽约监管机构达成和解，此前，该机构指控渣打银行掩藏与伊朗进行的价值数十亿美元的非法交易。该监管机构称渣打银行必须支付3.4亿美元罚金，并在纽约分公司安置一名监管员来监督将来的交易活动。马克·格雷戈里报道。
The bank was accused of helping10 Iran launder11 money by deleting any reference to Iran from records of transactions. The New York financial regulator claimed up to $250bn of deals were hidden in this way. Standard Chartered, though, said the figure was just $40m. The $340m penalty is large, but not as large as some other European banks have paid in similar circumstances – Britain's HSBC had set aside $700m to settle similar claims.
该行被指控帮助伊朗洗钱，方法是删除交易记录中任何与伊朗有关的记录。纽约金融监管机构称该行以此种方式隐藏了高达2.5亿美元的交易。但渣打银行称这个数字只有4000万。3.4亿美元的罚金金额很大，但还没有欧洲其他银行在此种情况下支付的罚金多，英国的汇丰银行为解决此类指控交了7亿美元罚金。
