据日本外务省消息，日本周四敦促伊朗展现“最大灵活性”，并呼吁为结束美伊战争构建“外交势头”。
Japan on Thursday urged Iran to show “maximum flexibility” and called for building “momentum for diplomacy” to end the US-Iran war, according to the Japanese Foreign Ministry.
外务省声明称，这一表态来自日本外相茂木敏充与伊朗外长阿巴斯·阿拉格齐的电话会谈。
This came in a phone call between Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi and his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi, a ministry statement said.
声明称，茂木敏充表示，华盛顿与德黑兰之间的间接谈判“自上周以来一直在进行”。
Motegi said that indirect talks between Washington and Tehran had been “underway since last week,” according to the statement.
上周，美国和伊朗在纽约第81届联合国大会期间，通过卡塔尔进行了间接谈判。
The US and Iran held indirect talks through Qatar in New York last week on the sidelines of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly.
茂木敏充表示，日本“为尽早缓和局势、稳定局面以及通过外交途径解决问题作出了持续努力”。
Japan has “made consistent efforts toward an early de-escalation and stabilization of the situation and a diplomatic resolution,” Motegi said.
他补充说，日本希望“与有关国家共同构建外交势头”。声明称，茂木敏充还“强烈要求伊朗继续展现最大灵活性”。
He added that Japan would like to “build momentum for diplomacy together with the countries concerned.”Motegi also “strongly requested Iran to continue to show maximum flexibility,” the statement said.
谈及日本上周在联合国共同主持的一场海上合作会议时，茂木敏充强调了恢复地区关键水道航行的重要性。
Referring to a meeting on maritime cooperation co-hosted by Japan at the UN last week, Motegi stressed the importance of restoring navigation through key regional waterways.
他说，“恢复霍尔木兹海峡和曼德海峡的自由安全航行，并与整个国际社会讨论霍尔木兹海峡的未来，十分重要。”声明称，茂木敏充“强烈要求伊朗建设性地回应此事”。外务省表示，阿拉格齐说明了与美谈判的现状以及伊朗的立场。
He said it “is important to restore free and safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and to discuss the future of the Strait of Hormuz with the entire international community.”Motegi “strongly requested Iran to respond to the matter constructively,” the statement said. The ministry said Araghchi explained the current status of talks with the US and Iran’s position.
美国和以色列于2月28日对伊朗发动战争。德黑兰以导弹和无人机袭击整个地区作为回应，并实际上关闭了霍尔木兹海峡这一战略能源供应通道。五角大楼则对伊朗港口实施了军事封锁。
The US and Israel launched a war against Iran on Feb. 28. Tehran responded with missile and drone attacks across the region and effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic route for energy supplies. The Pentagon imposed its own military blockade of Iranian ports.
自 6 月 18 日《伊斯兰堡谅解备忘录》签署以来，为结束战争而进行的努力一直在持续。该备忘录旨在为达成最终和平协议铺平道路，这些协议将涉及该战略水道的航行问题以及伊朗的核计划。
Efforts to end the war have continued since the June 18 Islamabad memorandum of understanding, which seeks to pave the way for a final peace deal covering navigation in the strategic waterway and Iran's nuclear program.
