Iran Executes a Nuclear Scientist for Spying for the US
伊朗處決為美從事間諜活動的核科學家
Last week Iran executed a nuclear scientist on charges of spying for the United States, an official said Sunday.
上週六，一名官員說：伊朗處決了一名接受美國資金併為美從事間諜活動的核科學家。
Officials admitted for the first time that Shahram Amiri had been secretly detained and tried. A judicial spokesman said a court sentenced Amiri to death. Iran’s Supreme Court upheld the sentence.
官方首次承認薩哈朗阿米利已經被祕密的拘留和審訊。司法發言人說：法庭判決阿米利死刑。伊朗最高法院支援本次判決。
The spokesman said, “Amiri gave vital information about the country to the enemy,” according to Iran’s official news agency IRNA.
發言人表示：“阿米利將國家至關重要的資訊洩密給敵人”根據伊朗官方通訊社IRNA報道。
The spokesman did not say why officials had not announced the sentence earlier, according to AP news agency.
根據美聯社報道，發言人並沒有迴應官方為何沒有早些宣佈判決。
Iran hanged Amiri during the same week it executed a number of militants.
伊朗絞死阿米利的同一周內，也處決了許多激進分子。
Shahram Amiri, 38, was a university researcher who worked for Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization. He is said to have left Iran for Saudi Arabia in 2009 to visit Muslim holy places. However, he disappeared and went to the United States.
薩哈朗阿米利，38歲，是一名高校科研人員，他在伊朗原子能組織工作。據說他在2009年離開伊朗去往沙烏地阿拉伯的穆斯林聖地。儘管如此，他還是消失了，並且去往美國。
While in the U.S., Amiri appeared in several videos. The AP news agency reported that the videos gave contradictory information about why he was in America.
在美期間，阿米利在一些視訊中出現過。這些視訊為他為何出現在美國提供了矛盾資訊。
In one video, Amiri said that he had been kidnapped and that Saudi and U.S. intelligence agents held him against his will. In another, he said he wanted to study in America and return to Iran if the “opportunity of safe travel” became availa ble. His wife and son remained in Iran.
其中一部視訊阿米利說：他已經被綁架了，並且沙烏地阿拉伯和美國情報員違揹他的意願並拘留他。另一方面，他說：他希望能在美國學習，並且如果“安全旅行的機會”變得可行的話，他還是希望能夠回到伊朗。他的妻子和兒子仍留在伊朗。
U.S. officials said they paid Amiri $5 million to leave Iran and provide information about its nuclear program. At the time, Western countries were increasing efforts to limit Iran’s nuclear program under then-president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
美國官方表示：他們付了阿米利5百萬美元，讓他離開伊朗並且提供關於伊朗核專案的資訊。與此同時，西方國家正在努力限制在馬哈茂德艾哈邁迪-內賈德總統控制下的伊朗核專案。
In 2010, Amiri reportedly went to the Pakistani Embassy in Washington and asked to be returned to Iran. He returned later that year.
據報道，2010年艾米利前往在華盛頓的巴基斯坦大使館並且要求回到伊朗。2010年晚些，他回到了伊朗。
At first, Iranian officials welcomed him. AP reports that he appeared on Iranian TV as a hero.
起初，伊朗官方是歡迎他的。美聯社報道他在伊朗電視臺作為英雄出現。
But then he disappeared.
但隨後他消失了。
The judiciary spokesman said Amiri’s family mistakenly believed that he was serving a 10-year prison sentence. Last week, news of his death reportedly appeared in a newspaper in his hometown.
司法部發言人表示：阿米利的家庭錯誤的以為他只是服刑10年。上週，關於他死亡的訊息卻出現在他家鄉的報紙上。
U.S.-Iran relations
美國和伊朗的'關係
For years, Iran has stated that its nuclear activities were not aimed at developing nuclear weapons. However, the U.S. says uranium particles found during an investigation last year at an Iranian military base probably came from Iran’s secret nuclear weapons program.
很多年來，伊朗開始它的核活動並不旨在發展核武器。儘管如此，美國表示：去年在伊朗軍事基地的調查中發現了鈾粒子，這些鈾粒子很可能來自伊朗的核核武器祕密計劃。
The execution of Amiri takes place one year after the United States and five world powers reached a nuclear agreement with Iran. The deal requires Iran to limit its nuclear development capabilities. In exchange, western countries lifted strong economic restrictions on Iran.
阿米利的死刑執行發生在美國和五個世界大國達成了針對伊朗的核計劃協議之後。該協議要求伊朗限制其核發展能力。作為交換，西方國家解除對於伊朗的強有力的經濟制裁。
