美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥周日表示，与伊朗就潜在和平协议进行的谈话“并未取得很大进展”，并称伊朗的要求“根本不可接受”。鲁比奥在佛罗里达州接受记者采访时发表了上述言论，当时他正准备离开佛罗里达州前往法国参加七国集团外长会议。他的言论发表在唐纳德·特朗普在接受CNN电话采访时表示，如果双方在卡塔尔和巴基斯坦斡旋的和平谈判中取得进展，对伊朗发动袭击的可能性“极低”的几个小时后。
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday that talks with Iran about a potential peace deal "[haven't] been very productive" and called Iran's demands "simply unacceptable." Rubio spoke to reporters in Florida before departing from Florida for the G7 Foreign Ministers' meeting in France. His comments came just hours after Donald Trump told CNN in a phone interview that it is "highly unlikely" that they will strike Iran if the two parties make progress in the peace talks being mediated by Qatar and Pakistan."I wouldn't say we're at the verge of a breakthrough," Rubio told reporters.
“我不愿说我们正处于取得突破的边缘，”鲁比奥对记者说。“总统始终希望以外交方式解决这个问题以及每一个问题。不幸的是，有时这不可能，但如果有机会，我们会探索。”目前，谈判并未取得很大进展，因为伊朗的要求不仅不可接受，而且在某些情况下令人愤慨、荒谬，根本不切实际。美伊和平谈判始于美国大选日前，即11月3日星期二。
"The president would always prefer to solve this and every problem diplomatically. Sometimes that's not possible, unfortunately, but if there's a chance to do it, we'll explore it." Right now, it hasn't been very productive because the Iranian demands are simply not just unacceptable, but in some cases outrageous and ridiculous and really not realistic."US-Iran peace talks started before Election Day in the US on November 3, Tuesday. But since the election, they have stalled, especially after the US launched unexplained strikes on Qeshm Island on November 6.
但自大选以来，谈判一直停滞，尤其是在美国于11月6日对其岛屿发动无端袭击之后。路透社前一天，即11月5日星期四报道称，伊朗向美国提交了一份关于德黑兰核计划达成协议的提议，但前提是华盛顿首先接受伊朗的七项要求。鲁比奥的言论发表之际，伊朗外长阿巴斯·阿拉格齐周日在X平台上发布激烈帖子，威胁称如果美国不接受其要求，将进一步升级局势。
Reuters reported a day earlier on November 5, Thursday, that Iran sent a proposal to make an agreement on Tehran's nuclear program, but that is subject to Washington accepting seven demands from Iran first. Rubio's comments came as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, in a fiery X post Sunday, threatened the US with further escalation if its demands are not accepted.“American voters have made their choice. Time for the White House to make its own,” Aragachi wrote. “Our 2-day proposal stands: meet the requirement, including an end to war on all fronts, and you will see results. Or choose war, and see our alert and battle-hardened Warriors rain down hell.”
“美国选民已经做出了选择。白宫也该做出自己的选择了，”阿拉格齐写道。“我们的两天期限依然有效：满足要求，包括在所有战线结束战争，你将看到结果。”
Trump mulling strikesDespite acknowledging that Iran was responsible for the Republican Party's country-wide losses in the midterm elections, Trump has not ruled out strikes on Iran. On Thursday, he said the US is "locked and loaded" and “making more weapons than ever” to launch a fresh attack on Iran.
“或者选择战争，看看我们警觉且经验丰富的战士降下地狱。”特朗普考虑打击尽管承认伊朗导致共和党在中期选举中全国范围内失利，特朗普并未排除对伊朗发动打击。周四，他说美国“蓄势待发”，并且“制造的武器比以往任何时候都多”，以对伊朗发动新一轮攻击。“我宁愿不摧毁这个国家，但也许我们不得不这么做，”特朗普对记者说。
"I'll rather not destroy the country, but maybe we'll have to do it," Trump told reporters. On Sunday, the president seemed to have softened his stance on the war, noting that another strike is "highly unlikely" and raising questions about whether it will be necessary.“It depends on whether or not they sign a very strong agreement,” the 81-year-old told CNN in an interview. “The answer is highly unlikely it’s going to be necessary. They’re a failing nation. It just came out, you saw this year, 301% inflation.“Highly unlikely it will be necessary,” Trump continued. "I would, if necessary, but we hit them really hard. I hit them so hard.
周日，总统似乎对战争态度有所缓和，表示再次打击“可能性极低”，并质疑是否有必要。“这取决于他们是否签署一项非常强有力的协议，”这位81岁高龄的总统在接受CNN采访时说。“答案是，极有可能不需要。他们是一个衰落的国家。刚刚公布，你们今年看到了，通胀率达301%。”“极有可能不需要，”特朗普继续说。“如果必要，我会，但我们已经狠狠打击了他们。我打得他们很惨。你们不知道我打得有多狠。所以我极有可能不必再打。他们在财政上正在瓦解。我们在军事上打击了他们。我们可以彻底消灭他们。”
You don’t know how hard I hit them. So it’s highly unlikely I’ll have to. They’re withering away financially. We’ve hit them militarily. We could finish them off.”
