华盛顿/联合国/开罗 -- 美国总统特朗普周六表示,他已拒绝伊朗重新开放霍尔木兹海峡并结束中东战斗的提议。
WASHINGTON/UNITED NATIONS/CAIRO -- U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday he had rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end fighting in the Middle East.
伊朗在纽约联合国大会上提出了这一倡议,称该提议已通过卡塔尔调解人传达给美方,并可在七天内重新开放这一战略水道,终结地区敌对行动。
Iran raised the initiative at the UN General Assembly in New York, saying it had been transmitted to the Americans via Qatari mediators and that it could reopen the strategic waterway and put an end to hostilities in the region within seven days.
但特朗普在白宫对记者表示:“我拒绝他们的提议。……我拒绝了他们的交易。
But in comments to reporters at the White House, Trump said: "I reject their proposal. ... I rejected their deal.
“他们想达成协议立即开放霍尔木兹海峡,因为他们输得很惨,”他在前往田纳西州途中说道。“我们赢得非常大。
"They want to make a deal to open the Hormuz Strait immediately because they're losing so badly," he said before leaving for Tennessee. "We're winning tremendously.
“他们想达成协议,我认为这很好,我也喜欢达成协议。他们想做的是立即开放霍尔木兹海峡……因为他们没有钱进账,因为他们的钱来自霍尔木兹海峡,”特朗普说。
"They want to make a deal and I think that's fine, I like making a deal too. What they want to do is immediately open the Hormuz Strait ... because they have no money coming in, because they get their money from the Hormuz Strait," Trump said.
美国已对伊朗实施经济封锁,以施压德黑兰解除对霍尔木兹海峡的封锁,后者已大幅减少通过该海峡的航运,尽管特朗普再次宣称美国控制着该水道。
The U.S. has imposed an economic blockade on Iran to put pressure on Tehran to lift its blockade of Hormuz, which has drastically reduced shipping through the strait, even though Trump again asserted that the U.S. had control of the waterway.
《华尔街日报》率先报道特朗普拒绝了伊朗提议,援引未具名美国官员消息。
The Wall Street Journal first reported that Trump had rejected the Iranian proposal, citing unnamed U.S. officials.
报道称,特朗普私下对伊朗是否会满足其要求持怀疑态度,并告诉幕僚,他认为在美国11月中期国会选举后,重新发动轰炸行动的可能性很大。
It said Trump was privately skeptical that Iran would meet his demands and had told his staff that he sees a renewed bombing campaign as likely after the November U.S. midterm elections to Congress.
一名美国官员早些时候表示,通过调解人与伊朗的讨论“积极且富有建设性”。伊朗也就霍尔木兹海峡问题与宿敌沙特进行了接触,凸显了这场持续七个月的冲突所涉及的利害关系,该冲突已扰乱关键航运通道的石油流动,并对全球经济造成冲击。
A U.S. official had said earlier that discussions with Iran through mediators were "positive and constructive." The Iranians also engaged their Saudi rivals regarding the Strait of Hormuz, underscoring the stakes of a seven-month-old conflict that has disrupted oil flows through a critical shipping lane and taken a toll on the global economy.
伊朗外交部长阿拉格齐周五在联合国告诉记者,拟议协议将触发为期七天的倒计时,以重新开放海峡并暂停地区战斗。
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told reporters at the United Nations on Friday that the proposed deal would trigger a seven-day countdown to reopening the strait and a pause in regional fighting.
阿拉格齐表示:“如果美方有诚意达成协议并重新开放霍尔木兹海峡,一切准备就绪。”如果美国同意,交战各方可以就“双方商定的议题”开始更广泛的谈判。这可能包括讨论伊朗的核计划。特朗普曾表示德黑兰绝不能获得核弹,而一位伊朗高级官员告诉路透社,即使美国接受其和平协议,伊朗在核计划问题上也不会表现出任何灵活性。
"If there is seriousness on the U.S. side to come to a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, everything is now prepared," Araqchi said. If the U.S. were to agree, the warring parties could start wider talks "on mutually agreed subjects." That could potentially include discussions of Iran's nuclear program. Trump has said Tehran must never acquire a nuclear bomb, while a senior Iranian official told Reuters that Iran would show no flexibility over its nuclear program even if the U.S. accepted its peace deal.
该官员表示,伊朗不会在其权利问题上做出任何让步,包括浓缩铀或将其高浓缩铀运出国外。
Iran would grant no concessions over its rights, including enriching uranium or shipping its highly enriched uranium out of the country, the official said.
伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬在接受哥伦比亚广播公司(CBS)节目《面对国家》采访时表示,德黑兰已准备好就其核计划和其他问题进行谈判,但不会接受“霸凌或胁迫”。
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, in an interview with the CBS show "Face the Nation", said Tehran was ready for talks on its nuclear program and other issues, but would not accept "bullying or coercion".
佩泽希齐扬说:“伊朗不寻求战争,但将捍卫自身免受压力、威胁和袭击。”他补充说,伊朗已经同意“我们不应发展核武器”。此前的外交尝试未能结束这场始于2月28日美以袭击的战争。
"Iran is not seeking war, but will defend itself against pressure, threats and attacks," Pezeshkian said, adding that it had already agreed that "we're not supposed to develop nuclear weapons". Previous attempts at diplomacy have failed to end the war, which began on February 28 with U.S. and Israeli attacks.
自那时起,战争在停顿和重燃之间交替进行,造成数千人死亡,同时削弱了伊朗的常规力量,并损害了伊朗本已疲软的经济。
Since then, the war has alternated between pauses and renewed strikes, killing thousands while degrading Iran's conventional forces and damaging Iran's already ailing economy.
伊朗及其盟友通过将冲突延伸至整个地区进行了报复。伊朗用无人机和导弹袭击了海湾地区的美国盟友,而其也门胡塞盟友则针对沙特利益发动了袭击。
Iran and its allies have retaliated by extending the conflict throughout the region. Iran has struck U.S. allies in the Gulf with drones and missiles while its Houthi allies in Yemen have targeted Saudi interests.
