美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥周二表示，特朗普政府依然对与伊朗达成和平协议持开放态度，但他称德黑兰的一些要求“荒谬”，并暗示华盛顿将加大对该伊斯兰共和国的经济施压行动。
US secretary of state Marco Rubio on Tuesday said the Trump administration remained open to a peace deal with Iran, but called some of Tehran's demands "absurd" and indicated that Washington would intensify its economic pressure campaign against the Islamic Republic.
几天前，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普曾表示，美国针对伊朗的军事行动“实际上已经结束”，并补充说华盛顿希望维持该地区的现状。
His remarks came days after US President Donald Trump said the US military campaign against Iran was "effectively over", adding that Washington wanted to maintain the status quo in the region.
鲁比奥在巴黎出席七国集团外长会议期间对记者说话时表示，美国的经济制裁和对伊朗港口的海军封锁已经对伊朗经济造成了严重破坏，并且他已向盟友通报称无需恢复大规模作战行动。
Speaking to reporters in Paris on the sidelines of the G7 Foreign Ministers Meeting, Rubio said the US economic sanctions and naval blockade of Iranian ports had inflicted severe damage on Iran's economy and he had informed allies that there would be no need to resume major combat operations. The top US diplomat accused the "radical regime of lunatics" of destroying the country by refusing US demands to end the ongoing conflict.
这位美国最高外交官指责这个“狂热分子的激进政权”通过拒绝美国结束持续冲突的要求毁了国家。当被问及外交努力时，鲁比奥表示美国对谈判持开放态度，但称德黑兰的要求“不切实际”。他评论道：“伊朗很希望达成协议。问题在于他们不断提出的条件很荒谬。比如，他们现在甚至都不是认真的。但这当然可能会改变。我的意思是，你最终得吃饭，最终得有能力支付你自己的武装人员和安保部队的费用等等。”
When asked about diplomatic efforts, Rubio said the US was open to negotiations but called Tehran's demands "unrealistic". "Iran would love a deal. The problem is the conditions they continue to place are absurd. Like, they’re not even serious right now. But that could change, certainly. I mean, eventually you have to eat, eventually you have to be able to pay your own fighters and your own security forces and so forth," he remarked.US to intensify economic pressureRubio said the US campaign was wreaking "devastation" on the Iranian economy and indicated that it was likely to intensify in the coming months."
美国将加大经济施压鲁比奥表示，美国的行动正在对伊朗经济造成“毁灭性”打击，并暗示这一行动在未来几个月可能会加剧。
The economic pressure is going to get even worse. I mean, understand that these sanctions begin to compound.
他补充说：“经济施压将会变得更加糟糕。我的意思是，要明白这些制裁开始产生叠加效应。所以，举例来说，伊朗在海上仍然有少量的——仅有几桶在谅解备忘录和那个短暂停火期期间突破封锁的石油。一旦这些石油耗尽，他们几乎所有的石油收入都将枯竭。”鲁比奥还评论说，伊朗人民“理应过得更好，而不是沦为第三世界国家，而这正是他们的领导层正在把他们带向的方向”。
So, for example, Iran still has a small number of – just a handful of barrels of oil left on the water that got past the blockade when it was the MOU and that brief ceasefire period. Once that dries up, almost all of their oil revenue will dry up," he added. Rubio also remarked that the Iranian people "deserve better than to be a third-world country, which is where their leadership is taking them."
根据《阿克西奥斯新闻网》的一篇报道，鲁比奥告诉七国集团盟友，特朗普曾考虑与伊朗恢复战争或达成协议，但最终选择了第三种选择：扼杀伊朗政权。
According to an Axios report, Rubio told G7 allies that Trump had considered resuming the war with Iran or reaching a deal but ultimately chose a third option: strangling the Iranian regime.
此外，鲁比奥还排除向伊朗支付赔款的可能，并表示：“我们不会付钱。伊朗正在索要赔偿。他们才应该是支付赔偿的人，因为是他们破坏了该地区的稳定。他们要求成托盘的现金，总统已经明确表示这不会发生。”伊朗抨击鲁比奥的言论伊朗外交部长阿巴斯·阿拉格齐批评了鲁比奥关于伊朗的言论，称其为“妄想”。
Additionally, Rubio also ruled out US reparations to Iran, saying, "We’re not going to pay. Iran is demanding reparations. They should be the ones paying reparations because they’re the ones that have destabilized the region. They’re demanding pallets of cash, which the president made clear is not going to happen."
他说：“8年前，像蓬佩奥这样的一个小丑曾说，如果伊朗人‘想要吃饭’就必须服从白宫的独裁。今天，鲁比奥——其同胞古巴人正是同一政策的受害者——在重复那些废话。抛开不人道不谈。正是这种妄想导致了美国政策的失败。”
Iran slams Rubio's remarksIranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi criticised Rubio's remarks on Iran, referring to them as "delusions"."8 years ago a cartoon character like Pompeo said Iranians must follow White House diktat “if they want to eat”. Today, Rubio—whose fellow Cubans are victims of same policy—repeats that drivel. Forget about the inhumanity.
与此同时，结束美伊战争的外交努力正在加速推进，此前特朗普表示，在共和党在最近的中期选举中遭遇惨败引发对局势升级的最初担忧之后，他看到了解决问题的“积极势头”。
It's the delusions that are producing failed US policy," he said. Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts to end the US-Iran war gathered pace as Trump said he saw "positive momentum" towards a resolution after initial concerns over an escalation following the Republican Party's resounding defeat in the recent midterm elections.
沙特阿拉伯、阿拉伯联合酋长国、土耳其和卡塔尔的领导人一直在努力说服特朗普不要重新采取军事行动。伊朗表示，如果华盛顿同意一系列条件，其愿意在两天内重新开放霍尔木兹海峡，并断言唯有外交和尊重才能结束这场冲突。
The leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and Qatar have been seeking to persuade Trump against renewed military action. Iran has offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days if Washington agreed to a raft of conditions, asserting that only diplomacy and respect can bring an end to the conflict.
