The criticism of Iran over the crash threatens to eclipse whatever international sympathy Iran has garnered

在此之前，特朗普政府因点燃了与伊朗领导人的暴力冲突广受批评，

in its escalating confrontation with the Trump administration, which has faced widespread criticism over stoking a violent confrontation with Iran’s leaders.

伊朗在与特朗普政府不断升级的冲突中赢得的国际社会的同情恐怕要被坠机事件引发的批评抵消殆尽了。

In Washington, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo,

华盛顿方面，国务卿迈克·蓬佩奥

an outspoken Iran critic who was among the first American officials to accuse the country of shooting down the Ukrainian jetliner,

直言不讳自己对伊朗的批评态度，他也是最早指控是伊朗击落了乌克兰客机的美国官员之一，

posted a message on Twitter that clearly alluded to the outrage in Iran on Saturday.

他周六发布的推文便明确提到了伊朗民众的怒火。

“The voice of the Iranian people is clear,” Mr. Pompeo wrote.

“伊朗人民的心声是很明显的，”蓬佩奥写道。

“They are fed up with the regime’s lies, corruption, ineptitude and brutality.”

“那就是，他们已经受够了政府的谎言、腐败、无能以及残暴。”

Later Mr. Trump, in his own Twitter message, warned against what he called “another massacre” of protesters in Iran,

随后，特朗普也在自己的推问中警诫称，伊朗可能还会爆发“一场大屠杀”，被屠杀的对象便是抗议者，

an apparent reference to the deadly repression of demonstrators there in November.

话锋直指11月时，伊朗示威者遭到血腥镇压一事。

The plane went down in fiery destruction just a few minutes after departing Tehran’s Imam Khomeini airport Wednesday morning,

周三早上，那架飞机刚从德黑兰的伊玛目霍梅尼机场起飞几分钟便在一片火海中坠毁了，

only hours after Iranian military forces fired a barrage of missiles at bases in Iraq housing American troops

距离伊朗军队发射一连串导弹打击伊拉克境内驻扎美军的基地不过几个小时的时间。

in retaliation for the killing of General Suleimani by a United States military drone in Baghdad on Jan. 3.

伊朗此举是为报复1月3日巴格达的美军无人机击毙苏莱马尼准将一事。

Iran’s aerial defense forces, worried about possible American reprisals for the missile attack, were on alert —

由于担心美国因为伊朗导弹袭击其基地对自己予以报复，伊朗的防空部队已经进入戒备状态——

even though commercial aviation in Iran was allowed to proceed normally.

尽管伊朗的商业航空依然被允许正常进行。

For three days after the crash, Iranian officials not only denied that their military forces were responsible,

坠机后的前三天，伊朗官员不仅否认他们的军队有责任，

but blamed what they called the aircraft’s mechanical problems and said suggestions of Iranian culpability were American propaganda.

还将事故责任推到了他们所说的飞机的机械问题上，甚至还说伊朗有责任的说法都是美国的炒作。

Satellite surveillance and video clips of the plane strongly suggested that Iran’s own air defense missile system had blasted the plane out of the sky.

然而，卫星监测和飞机的视频片段都清楚地表明，是伊朗自己的防空导弹系统将飞机从空中炸飞的。
