科威特支持沙特 召回駐伊朗大使

Kuwait joined other Saudi allies in taking diplomatic action against Iran after protesters angry about Saudi Arabia's execution of a prominent Shi'ite cleric stormed the country's embassy in the Iranian capital.

科威特加入其他沙特阿拉伯的盟友，對伊朗採取外交行動。此前，沙特阿拉伯處決著名什葉派穆斯林教士後，憤怒的抗議者衝擊了沙特駐伊朗大使館。

The state-run KUNA news agency said Tuesday Kuwait recalled its ambassador to Tehran and reiterated its support for all measures Saudi Arabia takes to maintain its security.

科威特國家媒體科威特新聞社星期二稱，科威特召回了駐伊朗大使，並重申其支持沙特採取的一切維護自身安全的措施。

The move follows decisions by Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Sudan to cut diplomatic ties with Iran, while the United Arab Emirates downgraded its relations with the country. All four nations are members of the Arab League, which is due to hold a special meeting Sunday to discuss the Saudi-Iran developments.

此前，沙特、巴林和蘇丹都斷絕了同伊朗的外交聯繫，阿聯酋也把與伊朗的外交關係降格。這四個國家都是阿拉伯國家聯盟的成員。阿拉伯國家聯盟定於星期天召開特別會議，討論沙特阿拉伯與伊朗關係的局勢發展。

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani continued criticism of Saudi Arabia's decision to sever ties, saying that cannot cover up its "crime" of executing Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr. The Saudi government announced his execution on January 2, along with 46 other prisoners on terrorism related charges. Nimr was an outspoken critic of the Saudi monarchy.

伊朗總統魯哈尼繼續譴責沙特阿拉伯斷絕外交關係的決定，稱這不能掩蓋其處決尼姆爾的“罪行”。1月2日，沙特政府宣佈處決了尼姆爾以及其他46名被指控有恐怖罪名的囚犯。尼姆爾經常公開批評沙特王室。

The United Nations Security Council issued a statement Monday condemning the attack on the Saudi embassy. It called on Iran to respect its international obligations to protect diplomatic property and urged all parties to "maintain dialogue and take steps to reduce tensions in the region."

聯合國安理會星期一發表聲明，譴責伊朗抗議者對沙特阿拉伯大使館的衝擊，呼籲伊朗履行保護外交設施的國際義務，並呼籲各方“保持對話、採取措施緩解該地區的緊張局勢。”
