美国作为当前困局的始作俑者,理应采取切实措施彻底纠正极限施压的错误政策,积极回应伊朗正当合理关切,推动未决问题尽快解决。

As the instigator of the current predicament, the US is obligated to take practical measures instead of the ongoing wrong policy of extreme pressure, actively respond to Iran's legitimate and reasonable concerns, and facilitate the early resolution of outstanding issues.

2021年4月以来,伊朗核问题全面协议各方与美国为恢复履行全面协议展开密集外交谈判。经过一年多的不懈努力,各方已就恢复履行全面协议的绝大部分内容达成一致。然而,就在谈判即将收官之际,个别未决问题却使之陷入僵局。全世界都在密切关注,美国将采取何种举措实现重返全面协议的政策目标。

Since April 2021, the parties to the Iranian nuclear agreement have engaged in intensive diplomatic negotiations with the US to resume the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). After more than a year of unremitting efforts, all parties have reached an agreement on resuming the implementation of the most part of the JCPOA. However, just as the negotiations were about to be completed, some outstanding issues stalled the process. The world is watching closely what the US will do to achieve the policy goal of returning to the JCPOA.

维护和执行好全面协议,是确保伊核计划和平性质、维护中东地区和平稳定的有效途径。遗憾的是,美国上届政府大行单边主义,2018年5月单方面退出全面协议,对伊朗极限施压,致使协议处于崩溃边缘,也将美国置于国际社会的对立面。

Maintaining and implementing the JCPOA is the effective way to ensure the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program and maintain peace and stability in the Middle East. Regrettably, driven by unilateralism, the previous US administration unilaterally withdrew from the JCPOA in May 2018 and exerted extreme pressure on Iran. The US brought the agreement to the brink of collapse and placed itself on the opposite side of the international community.

美国现政府认识到上届政府对伊政策的失败,寻求重返全面协议。在此背景下,全面协议各方与美方展开了密集的恢复履约谈判。然而,美方不仅未能充分考虑伊方提出的一些正当合理诉求,还在谈判期间不断追加对伊制裁,威胁制定全面协议的“替代方案”。这不禁令人怀疑,美国政府是否真的有诚意重返全面协议?是否仍在坚持走制裁施压的老路?是否有为恢复履约做出政治决断的魄力?

Recognizing the failure of the previous administration's policy towards Iran, the current US government now seeks to return to the JCPOA. Against this background, the parties to the JCPOA have launched intensive negotiations with the US. However, instead of fully considering certain legitimate and reasonable requests made by Iran, the US imposed more sanctions on Iran during the negotiations and threatened to formulate an "alternative plan" to the JCPOA. This makes people wonder whether the US really has the sincerity and the decision-making courage to return to the JCPOA? Or the US is still sticking to the old path of sanctions and pressure?

众所周知,当前伊核谈判的主要未决问题之一,是伊朗要求美国将伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队移出“外国恐怖组织”名单。伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队是伊朗的正规国家军队,却被美国列为恐怖组织。如果美方不解除其列名,怎能体现美方愿意改变错误的对伊极限施压政策?如果美国政府在关键问题上不能克服国内政治压力,如何让人信服其有能力恢复履行协议义务?

As the world knows, one of the main outstanding issues in the current Iranian nuclear negotiations is Iran's request to remove the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from the US list of "foreign terrorist organizations". The IRGC is Iran's national defense power, but listed as a terrorist organization by the US. It is hard to believe the US has the willingness to give up the wrong policy of extreme pressure on Iran, if it keeps IRGC on the list. Likely, if US lacks the ability the handle its domestic politic pressure over this topic, even its ability to return to JCPOA needs to be questioned.

当前,谈判仍陷僵局,前景尚难预料。美国作为当前困局的始作俑者,理应采取切实措施彻底纠正极限施压的错误政策,积极回应伊朗正当合理关切,推动未决问题尽快解决,以实际行动取信于国际社会。

At present, the negotiations are still deadlocked, and the prospects are still unpredictable. As the instigator of the current predicament, the United States is obligated to take practical measures instead of the ongoing wrong policy of extreme pressure, actively respond to Iran's legitimate and reasonable concerns, and facilitate the early resolution of outstanding issues. It must win the trust from the international community with firm actions.

中国在伊核问题上没有任何私利,也从未偏袒任何一方。中国处理伊核问题的根本出发点,就是坚定维护全面协议和多边主义,维护安理会权威和国际核不扩散体系,维护中东地区和平与安全。

China has no selfish interests on the Iranian nuclear issue and has never taken sides. The fundamental starting point of China's handling of the Iranian nuclear issue is to firmly uphold the JCPOA and multilateralism, safeguard the authority of the UN Security Council and the international nuclear non-proliferation regime, and maintain peace and security in the Middle East.

中方提出全球安全倡议,强调坚持通过对话协商以和平方式解决国家间的分歧和争端,支持一切有利于和平解决危机的努力,不能搞双重标准,反对滥用单边制裁和“长臂管辖”。无论国际形势如何变化,中国将始终站在历史正确的一边,坚定推进伊核问题政治解决进程,坚定维护多边主义和国际核不扩散体系,为维护世界和平稳定作出大国贡献。

China has put forward a global security initiative and emphasized that it insists on peacefully resolving differences and disputes between countries through dialogue and consultation. China supports all efforts that are conducive to the peaceful resolution of crises, opposes double standards, and opposes the abuse of unilateral sanctions and "long-arm jurisdiction". No matter how the international situation changes, China will always stand on the right side of history, firmly advance the political settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue, firmly safeguard multilateralism and the international nuclear non-proliferation regime, and make contributions to maintaining world peace and stability.
