「在直布羅陀,英國,或是歐洲的其他地方,都沒有和美國同等的對伊朗的制裁。」據美國彭博社消息,英國海外領地直布羅陀當局15日決定釋放伊朗油輪「格蕾絲一號」。當地時間18日,「格蕾絲一號」(已被更名為「阿德裡安·達裡亞一號」)啟航,駛離直布羅陀。在此之前,美國法院於8月16日對伊朗油輪發出扣押令,而直布羅陀當局駁回了美方要求。
Gibraltar has rejected a renewed US request demanding the seizure of the tanker Grace 1, which has been renamed Adrian Darya 1. The ship is expected to set sail from Gibraltar on Sunday evening.
直布羅陀拒絕了美國扣押油輪格蕾絲一號的再次要求,後者已更名為阿德裡安·達裡亞一號。該船已於周日晚上(8月18日)從直布羅陀起航。
The British overseas territory rejected a warrant issued Friday by a federal court in Washington that sought the supertanker's arrest, the oil it carried and the almost $1 million allegedly found at an acccount of an unnamed US bank. The US request came into conflict with the EU law under which Gibraltar governs, and led 「to the differences in the sanctions regimes applicable to Iran in the EU and the US,」 it said in a statement on Sunday.
英國海外領土(直布羅陀)拒絕了美國華盛頓地區聯邦法院星期五發出的扣押令,它要求扣留這艘超級油輪,因其所裝載的石油以及據稱在一家未具名的美國銀行的帳戶中所發現的近100萬美元。但是直布羅陀在周日的一份聲明中表示,美國的要求與直布羅陀所在的歐盟法律並不一致,導致了「歐盟和美國適用於伊朗的制裁製度存在差異」。
「The EU sanctions regime against Iran –which is applicable in Gibraltar– is much narrower than that applicable in the US,」it explained.
「歐盟對伊朗的制裁製度——即直布羅陀所適用的制度——比美國所適用的要窄得多,」這份聲明解釋道。

The US based its seizure requests on a claim that 『Adrian Darya 1』 was ferrying Iranian crude to Syria under the auspices of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which is designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the US but not the EU or other world powers.
美國根據伊斯蘭革命衛隊(IRGC)所聲稱的「阿德裡安·達裡亞1號」將伊朗原油運往敘利亞,作為請求扣押的理由。IRGC被美國定義為外國恐怖組織,而歐盟或者其他世界大國則無此定義。

Also, there was a 「scheme to unlawfully access the US financial system to support illicit shipments to Syria from Iran by the IRGC,」 the Justice Department alleged.
此外,美國司法部稱,IRGC還有一項「非法進入美國金融系統,以支持從伊朗到敘利亞的非法運輸的計劃」。
However, none of the allegations were compelling enough for the UK-governed enclave, as these 「would not constitute offences in Gibraltar had they occurred in Gibraltar.」 There are no 「equivalent sanctions against Iran in Gibraltar, the UK or the rest of the EU,」 the statement noted.
然而,美國這些指控對於英屬直布羅陀並沒有效力,因為「在直布羅陀發生這些並不構成犯罪」。同時,直布羅陀在聲明中表示,「在直布羅陀,英國,或是歐洲的其他地方,都沒有和美國同等的對伊朗的制裁。」
