阿联酋今年2月通知美国，将不再允许驻扎在阿布扎比达夫拉(Al Dhafra)空军基地的美军战机和无人机在也门和伊拉克实施空袭。美国官员说，这促使美国指挥官将更多飞机转到卡塔尔的乌代德(Al Udeid)空军基地。卡塔尔未实施类似的限制。 6park.com
The U.A.E. informed the U.S. in February that it would no longer permit American warplanes and drones based at Al Dhafra air base in Abu Dhabi to carry out strikes in Yemen and Iraq. That has prompted U.S. commanders to send the additional aircraft to Al Udeid air base in Qatar, the small Persian Gulf monarchy that hasn’t imposed similar restrictions, U.S. officials said. 6park.com
   
此举凸显了华盛顿与一些海湾国家之间日益紧张的关系，这些国家允许美军驻扎在其领土上，但随着已持续八个月的加沙战争的蔓延，这些国家担心卷入地区冲突。 6park.com
The move highlights the growing tensions between Washington and some Persian Gulf countries that have allowed American forces to be based on their territory but are wary of being drawn into a regional conflict as the eight-month-old war in Gaza has spread. 6park.com
  
美国在中东地区拥有众多基地，近几个月来，美国利用这些基地在伊拉克、叙利亚和也门实施了空袭。美国还在红海上空以及约旦和其他国家的领空拦截了无人机和导弹。 6park.com
The U.S. has access to numerous bases across the Middle East that it has used in recent months to conduct airstrikes in Iraq, Syria and Yemen. It has also intercepted drones and missiles over the Red Sea and in the airspace over Jordan and other countries. 6park.com
   
但官员们说，随着地区紧张局势的加剧，阿联酋越来越担心，如果它被认为公开协助美国的军事行动，可能成为伊朗在该地区代理人的攻击目标。 6park.com
But as regional tensions have risen, the U.A.E. has grown increasingly nervous that it could be targeted by Iranian proxies in the region if it is seen to be publicly aiding U.S. military operations, officials said.


美国最近几天与卡塔尔方面进行了安排，将更多的喷气式战斗机、侦察机和武装无人机转移到乌代德空军基地。

一位阿联酋官员告诉《华尔街日报》(The Wall Street Journal)：“对于打击伊拉克和也门目标的任务实施了一些限制。”他解释了限制驻扎在阿联酋境内的美国战机进行空袭的决定。“这些限制是出于自我保护的考虑。” 6park.com
“Restrictions have been imposed on strike missions against targets in Iraq and Yemen,” a U.A.E. official told The Wall Street Journal, explaining the decision to limit U.S. warplanes based in its territory from conducting airstrikes. “Those restrictions are coming from a place of self-protection.” 6park.com
  
这位阿联酋官员说，之所以禁止驻扎在达夫拉的战机在伊拉克和也门发动袭击，是因为2022年初阿联酋遭到这两个国家的武装分子袭击之后，美国迟迟没有采取行动保卫阿联酋。 6park.com
Iraq and Yemen were made off limits to attacks from aircraft based at Al Dhafra because the U.S. was slow to take action to defend the U.A.E. after it came under attack from militias in those countries in early 2022, according to the Emirati official. 6park.com
