德黑兰——伊朗表示，美国必须解除海上封锁，并展现出通过外交手段结束战争的诚意，因为谈判陷入僵局，双方威胁升级，引发外界对重返全面冲突的担忧。
TEHRAN – Iran said the US must lift its naval blockade and show it’s serious about ending the war diplomatically, as a deadlock over talks and growing threats from both sides fuel fears of a return to outright conflict.
“如果我们看到美国方面有强烈证据表明其真诚渴望实现公正且体面的解决方案，以永久结束这场冲突，伊朗准备给外交再一次机会，”外交部长阿拉格齐在《金融时报》发表的署名文章中写道。
“Iran is prepared to give diplomacy another chance if we see strong evidence of a sincere desire on the part of the US to achieve a just and honourable solution to permanently end this conflict,” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote in an op-ed in the Financial Times.
在早前接受伊拉克媒体采访时，阿拉格齐敦促美国回归于6月签署但很快破裂的《伊斯兰堡谅解备忘录》。
In an earlier interview with Iraqi media, Araghchi urged the US to return to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding that was signed in June but quickly collapsed.
根据该协议，伊朗同意重新开放霍尔木兹海峡，美国则应解除海上封锁、释放被冻结的伊朗石油资金并取消制裁。
Under that deal, Iran agreed to re-open the Strait of Hormuz and the US was to lift the naval blockade, release frozen Iranian oil funds and remove sanctions.
他说：“如果他们遵守这些条件，应当知道海峡将全面开放，在此之后，我们将举行进一步轮次的谈判，直到达成最终协议。”美国鲜有意愿回归6月的谅解备忘录。
“If they adhere to these conditions, they should know that the Strait will be fully opened, and after that, we will hold further rounds of negotiations until a final agreement is reached,” he said. The US has shown little appetite to return to the June memorandum.
自该备忘录破裂以来，华盛顿加大了对德黑兰的经济施压，并将关注点重新聚焦于伊朗核计划，导致双方分歧进一步加大。
Since its collapse, Washington has ramped up economic pressure on Tehran and retrained its focus on Iran’s nuclear programme, widening the gulf between the two sides.
随着霍尔木兹海峡航运遭袭持续扰乱航道通行，10月21日布伦特原油价格升至每桶110美元以上。
Brent oil rose above US$110 per barrel on Oct 21 as attacks on shipping in the Strait continued to disrupt traffic through the waterway.
美国总统特朗普近几周频繁挥舞对伊朗实施新打击的威胁，暗示可能在11月3日中期选举后重启轰炸。
US President Donald Trump has frequently dangled the threat of new strikes on Iran in recent weeks, suggesting he may restart bombing after the Nov 3 midterm elections.
这使谈判陷入僵局，并加剧了伊朗领导层的担忧：如果没有美国承诺降级的具体担保，华盛顿将以恢复军事打击为目的重返谈判桌。近几天，伊朗官员已多次谈及双方之间的不信任。
That’s left talks deadlocked and has fuelled fears among Iranian leaders that, without a concrete guarantee from the US to de-escalate, Washington will re-enter negotiations with the intention of resuming military strikes. Iranian officials have repeatedly spoken about the distrust between the two sides in recent days.
2025年6月的战争和当前的冲突，都是在德黑兰与华盛顿举行高层会谈期间，由以色列和美国发动的。
Both the June 2025 war and the current conflict were launched by Israel and the US in the middle of high-level talks between Tehran and Washington.
“我们的国家今天不信任美国，并认为如果我们谈判，他们将再次攻击我们，”总统马苏德·佩泽希齐扬在10月20日访问德黑兰的巴基斯坦陆军参谋长阿西姆·穆尼尔——双方主要调解人之一——期间表示。
“Our nation today does not trust the United States and believes that if we negotiate, they will attack us again,” President Masoud Pezeshkian told Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir, one of the main mediators between the two sides, during a visit to Tehran on Oct 20.
佩泽希齐扬在10月21日的评论中表示，当美国“承认伊朗人民的权利并停止霸凌和侵略”时，伊朗和美国可以“坐下来谈”。阿拉格齐在《金融时报》的署名文章中写道：“鉴于白宫在前进道路上表现出没有达成谅解的意愿，同时还威胁升级暴力，现在几没有理由指望会有进展。”“完成任务”特朗普恢复空袭伊斯兰共和国的威胁，反过来促使伊朗官员誓言，如果遭到攻击，将对阿拉伯海湾国家的基础设施进行报复。
In comments made on Oct 21, Pezeshkian said that Iran and the US can “sit together and talk” when the US “recognises the rights of the Iranian people and stops bullying and aggression.”“Given that the White House has shown no willingness to reach an understanding on the way forward, while also threatening more violence, there is little reason to expect progress now,” Araghchi wrote in his FT op-ed. ‘Finish the job’Trump’s threats to resume air strikes on the Islamic Republic have prompted Iranian officials in turn to vow retaliation against infrastructure in Arab Gulf countries if they’re attacked.
美以对伊朗的打击已造成数千名伊朗人死亡，而伊朗对波斯湾石油资源丰富的美国盟友发动的无人机和导弹袭击，也造成数十人死亡。
US and Israeli strikes on Iran have killed thousands of Iranians, while dozens of people have been killed in Iranian drone and missile strikes on oil-rich US allies in the Persian Gulf.
由于霍尔木兹海峡的航运因紧张对峙而严重受阻，战争引发了燃料供应和价格危机。
The war created a crisis over fuel supply and prices as shipping in the Strait of Hormuz remains severely hindered by the tense stand-off.
“除非他们迅速改变做法，否则我们很快就会完成任务，”特朗普上周在背书内塔尼亚胡参加即将到来的以色列大选时表示。
“Unless they change their ways, rapidly, we will soon finish the job,” Trump said last week in his endorsement of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the upcoming Israeli elections.
10月20日，美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯对以色列进行未宣布的访问并会见内塔尼亚胡后，关于美以联合攻击计划的猜测升温。
Speculation about joint US-Israeli attack plans grew on Oct 20 after US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth made an unannounced visit to Israel and met with Netanyahu.
据政府声明，以色列领导人内塔尼亚胡在10月20日一所大学开幕典礼的演讲中说：“我们必须完成消除伊朗政权的任务。”
“We must complete the elimination of the Iranian regime,” the Israeli leader said in a speech at the opening of a university on Oct 20, according to a government statement.
“因为只要它还活着，哪怕遍体鳞伤，它都如此狂热，以至于会再次试图做一年前它做的事——而我们阻止了它：制造核弹并重建轴心。”彭博社
“Because as long as it lives, even if it is battered, bruised, and beaten, it is so fanatical that it will try again to do what it did a year ago, which we stopped them from doing: producing nuclear bombs and rebuilding the axis.”BLOOMBERG
