CNN News: 伊朗进行导弹试射 美国称不违反伊核协议

At the midpoint of the week, we`re starting with news about Iran. The Middle Eastern country tested out a number of ballistic missiles yesterday that has the international community, including the U.S., concern because it might break a United Nations resolution. It calls on Iran not to develop missiles that could carry nuclear weapons. Iran says it doesn`t have nuclear weapons and that this missile launch only tested conventional weapons.

今天是星期三，我们的头条新闻是关于伊朗。昨日，伊朗在多地试射弹道导弹，引发美国等国在内的国际社会的不安。国际社会呼吁伊朗不要研发携带核武器的导弹。伊朗方面称自己并没有核武器，这枚导弹发射只是对常规武器进行测试。

But a U.S. government source said the U.N. Security Council might investigate the launch and consider action against Iran. The Obama administration says the test did not violate a controversial nuclear deal with Iran that the U.S. led last year.

美国政府消息人士称，联合国安理会可能会对伊朗进行调查。但奥巴马政府称这次测试没有违反美国与伊朗去年签署的核协议。而美伊签署这项协议人们备有争议。

Our next story, the U.S. military says a terrorist group in Africa took a major hit over the weekend. Al Shabaab, which is based in the East African nation of Somalia, was a target of a U.S. airstrike. American officials say the Islamic militant group had about 200 fighters at a camp and that they posed an imminent threat because they were planning some type of a major attack, possibly targeting American and African Union military forces in Somalia.

下一条新闻，美国军方称于上周末重击非洲恐怖组织索马里“青年党”。美国官员称，这个伊斯兰武装组织每个营地约有200名武装分子，而这些人构成的威胁迫在眉睫。因为他们计划针对美国和非洲联盟于索马里的军事力量发动袭击。

But in Saturday`s airstrike, U.S. authorities believe as many as 150 al Shabaab members were killed by drones and manned aircraft. An official from al Shabaab disputes that number, saying only a few fighters died in the assault. Either way, the strike, while destructive, is not expected to eliminate the threat from these terrorists.

在周六的空袭行动中，美国当局认为利用无人机和载人飞机击毙150名武装分子。但一名索马里官员对这个数字表示质疑。这位官员称只有少数武装分子在这次袭击中死亡。无论结果如何，尽管这次行动具有很强的打击力，但尚不能消除武装分子的威胁。
