美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥周三表示，伊朗错失了“多次”达成核计划协议的机会，目前华盛顿与德黑兰之间关于中东持久和平协议的谈判仍处于停滞状态。
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday that Iran has passed up "multiple" chances to reach a deal on its nuclear program, as talks between Washington and Tehran over a lasting Middle East peace agreement remain stalled.
鲁比奥在访问希腊时说道：“伊朗未能抓住多次机会与我们就核计划问题达成协议。”
"Iran has failed to take advantage of multiple opportunities to reach agreement with us on nuclear program," Rubio said during a visit to Greece.
遏制伊朗的核野心仍是美国的核心诉求，而双方为达成持久停火协议的努力至今未见成效。
Curtailment of Iran's nuclear ambitions remains a critical part of U.S. demands, as efforts to reach a lasting ceasefire agreement between the two sides remain fruitless.
此前，美国副总统J.D.万斯本周早些时候对路透社表示，任何旨在结束这场持续七个月冲突的协议都必须包含伊朗切实减少核浓缩活动的承诺。
Rubio's remarks follow comments by Vice President J.D. Vance, who told Reuters earlier this week that any agreement to resolve the seven-month conflict must include a commitment by Iran to a "meaningful" reduction in its nuclear enrichment.
唐纳德·特朗普总统上周则否认了有关他提出以解除制裁换取伊朗核让步的报道。
President Donald Trump last week denied reports that he had pitched sanctions relief to Iran in exchange for nuclear concessions.
由于至今未能达成协议，近期伊朗频繁袭击途经霍尔木兹海峡的油轮，目前这些船只必须依靠美军的保护才能安全通过这一重要航道。
The absence of any agreement has seen Iran ramp up attacks on tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz in recent days, where vessels now rely on U.S. military protection to navigate the critical waterway.
继也门亲伊朗的胡塞武装接连两次袭击沙特阿拉伯的机场后，周三国际能源价格出现上涨。
Energy prices moved higher on Wednesday, following two separate attacks by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis on airports in Saudi Arabia.
