比利时外交大臣马克西姆·普雷沃周五表示，只有伊朗人民才能决定谁来领导他们的国家，拒绝了要求比利时承认礼萨·巴列维为伊朗人民合法代表的请求。
Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said on Friday that only the Iranian people can decide who should lead their country, rejecting a request for Belgium to recognize Reza Pahlavi as their legitimate representative.
“正是以民主的名义，谁来领导伊朗的决定必须完全由伊朗人民自己做出，”普雷沃在美国社交媒体公司X上写道。回应一位活动人士时，他说比利时政府不能承认已故沙阿之子巴列维为伊朗人民的合法代表和民主反对派的团结领袖。
“Precisely in the name of democracy, the decision as to who should lead Iran is one that must rest solely with the Iranian people,” Prevot wrote on US social media company Responding to an activist, he said the Belgian government could not recognize Pahlavi, the son of Iran’s ousted shah, as the legitimate representative of the Iranian people and unifying leader of the democratic opposition.
普雷沃指出，其他声称代表伊朗反对派的个人和运动也曾与他联系。
Prevot noted that other individuals and movements claiming to represent the Iranian opposition had also contacted him.
他强调，反对派和伊朗侨民都包含多元的声音，主张接触应反映这种多样性。
He stressed that both the opposition and the Iranian diaspora encompass diverse voices, arguing that engagement should reflect that diversity.
这位部长还澄清说，他并未反对邀请巴列维到比利时议会，表示他尊重立法机关的独立性及其与外国政治人物保持联系的自由。他当时建议扩大邀请范围，以听取其他伊朗反对派团体的意见。
The minister also clarified that he had not opposed inviting Pahlavi to Belgium’s parliament, saying he respected the legislature’s independence and freedom to maintain contacts with foreign political figures. He had instead recommended broadening the invitation to hear other Iranian opposition groups.
“随后是众议院做出了拒绝接待巴列维先生的决定，而非我，”他说。
“It was then the House that took the decision, not me, to refuse to host Mr. Pahlavi,” he said.
普雷沃还为维持与德黑兰的外交关系进行了辩护，拒绝了法语区自由派改革运动驱逐伊朗大使的提议。
Prevot also defended maintaining diplomatic relations with Tehran, rejecting the Francophone liberal Reform Movement’s proposal to expel Iran’s ambassador.
他说，比利时需要沟通渠道向伊朗当局传达强硬信息，并需要外交存在以监测该国局势发展。“采取制裁与我们保持外交和对话活跃的做法并不矛盾，”他说。
He said Belgium needed communication channels to deliver firm messages to Iranian authorities and a diplomatic presence to monitor developments in the country. “The adoption of sanctions is not incompatible with our approach of keeping diplomacy and dialogue alive,” he said.
他补充说，比利时将继续谴责侵犯人权和妇女权利的行为，同时支持伊朗人民对民主的呼吁。
Belgium would continue condemning violations of human rights and women’s rights while supporting the Iranian people’s calls for democracy, he added.
“我们已准备好考虑实施额外制裁，同时尽可能保留对话渠道。”据比利时通讯社（Belga）报道，比利时众议院周三取消了原定于11月5日正式接待巴列维的计划，原因是议会各党派在外交部提出谨慎建议后未能达成共识。
“We are ready to consider additional sanctions, while preserving dialogue as much as possible.”Belgium’s House of Representatives on Wednesday dropped plans to host Pahlavi officially on Nov. 5 after parliamentary groups failed to reach consensus following cautious advice from the Foreign Ministry, according to Belga news agency.
这一决定并未阻止发起邀请的改革运动（Reform Movement）私下接待他。
The decision did not prevent the Reform Movement, which initiated the invitation, from receiving him privately.
美国和以色列于2月下旬对伊朗发动战争，旨在摧毁该国核计划并推翻政权。
The US and Israel launched a war on Iran in late February, seeking to destroy the country's nuclear program and topple the regime.
寻求在下周投票中连任的以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡再次呼吁在伊斯兰共和国实现政权更迭。
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli premier who seeks a reelection in next week's vote, has again called for a regime change in the Islamic Republic.
