美国要求在核问题和重新开放海峡上作出坚定承诺，而伊朗寻求制裁缓解；未能达成协议已推高油价并加剧政治紧张局势。
The US demands firm commitments on nuclear issues and reopening the strait, while Iran seeks sanctions relief; failure to agree has raised oil prices and political tensions.
AI生成 德黑兰——据知情人士透露，伊朗官员私下表示，对在11月美国中期选举前达成协议以结束与华盛顿的敌对行动并重新开放霍尔木兹海峡持悲观态度。
AI generated TEHRAN– Iranian officials have privately expressed pessimism about reaching a deal to end hostilities with Washington and reopen the Strait of Hormuz before US midterm elections in November, according to people familiar with the matter.
据这些人士称，其中一些人曾接受伊朗官员简报，伊朗和美国在上周联合国大会期间于纽约举行的会谈几乎没有取得进展，伊斯兰共和国认为冲突在11月3日投票后升级的可能性很大。他们要求在讨论敏感事项时不具名。
Iran and the US made little progress during talks in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly last week and the Islamic Republic believes there’s a high chance of the conflict escalating after the Nov 3 vote, according to the people, some of whom were briefed by Iranian officials. They asked not to be named discussing sensitive matters.
伊朗官员一贯表示愿意寻求外交解决，但不信任美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的政府会遵守任何协议的条款。
Iran officials have consistently said they are willing to pursue diplomacy but do not trust the administration of US President Donald Trump to abide by the terms of any agreement.
白宫对德黑兰也抱有类似的不信任感，特朗普此前曾表示怀疑能在中期选举前达成任何协议。
The White House has similar feelings of distrust toward Tehran and Trump has previously said he doubts any deal can be reached before the midterms.
尽管如此，据一人士透露，伊朗外交部长阿拉格齐上周会见了特朗普的特使贾里德·库什纳和史蒂夫·威特科夫后，仍留在美国进行更多讨论，这些讨论将通过交战双方的调解人进行。
Still, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who met Trump’s envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff last week, has remained in the US for more discussions that will be conducted via mediators for the warring sides, one person said.

Talks involving Araghchi will take place on the morning of Sept 28 local time to review recent proposals and exchange views on the current situation, the semi-official Iranian Students’ News Agency reported. No US representative will attend the meeting, it said.
主要调解方寻求达成的协议，有别于伊朗与美国于6月中旬签署的所谓《谅解备忘录》。
The main mediators are seeking something different from the so-called Memorandum of Understanding signed by Iran and the US in mid-June.
该备忘录曾促成停火，并使霍尔木兹海峡的海上交通流量增加，但在双方未在永久和平协议上取得实质性进展前，仅维持了约两周便告破裂。巴基斯坦和卡塔尔一直是这场时断时续谈判中最突出的调解方。
That led to a ceasefire and more maritime traffic flowing through Hormuz but collapsed within about a fortnight, before the sides made substantive progress on a permanent peace deal. Pakistan and Qatar have been the most prominent mediators in the on-off talks.

The MOU was widely criticised among US politicians as ceding too much to Iran financially, especially in the form of sanctions relief. Iran also continued to restrict shipping in the strait and volumes remained far below pre-war levels.

一名美国官员表示，华盛顿继续通过调解方与伊朗进行建设性磋商，但除非解决核问题，否则不会达成协议。该官员因讨论敏感谈判而要求不具名。
Washington continues to have constructive discussions with Iran through mediators, but there will not be a deal unless the nuclear issues are addressed, according to one US official, who asked not to be identified discussing sensitive talks.
该官员称，特朗普愿以制裁豁免和解冻资金，换取伊朗在核问题上取得实质性进展。伊朗外交部发言人未立即回应置评请求。
Trump is willing to give Iran sanctions relief and release frozen funds in exchange for concrete progress on nuclear, the official said. The spokesman for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
《华尔街日报》早前报道，谈判代表正施压伊朗在核计划上妥协，以重启和平谈判，并安抚将此视为头等大事的特朗普。
The Wall Street Journal earlier reported that negotiators are pressing Iran to compromise on its nuclear programme to revive the peace talks and placate Trump on an issue he has made a top priority.
伊朗总统马苏德·佩泽希齐扬上周在联大发言时表示，伊朗不寻求制造核武器，但不会放弃为经济目的发展核技术的权利。

德黑兰方面称，若华盛顿采取特定行动，伊朗已提议在七天内重新开放海峡。
Tehran says it has made an offer to reopen the strait within seven days if Washington makes certain moves.

Its leaders have previously said the US must lift a naval blockade and oil sanctions for there to be any progress on allowing more ships through the vital waterway. Trump said Sept 26 he had rejected the proposal.
