特朗普称伊朗希望达成协议,谈判或将于周末恢复

-- 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周四表示,伊朗“希望达成协议”,这预示着美伊两国谈判可能取得进展。 特朗普在白宫外对记者发表讲话时分享了上述言论,此前不久,他还在Truth Social网站上发布了关于以色列和黎巴嫩之间为期10天的停火的消息。 他表示,黎巴嫩和以色列之间的会谈可能标志着一个突破,并指出双方可能“44年来首次会面……而且很可能在未来一两周内在白宫举行”。 特朗普表示,美伊之间的进一步会谈可能很快举行,并指出随着讨论的继续,谈判“可能在周末”进行。“……我认为我们非常接近与伊朗达成协议……我认为我们有机会,”总统说道。 他还补充说,伊朗的立场已经发生了转变。 “伊朗想达成协议,我们和他们打交道也很顺利……他们现在愿意做一些两个月前不愿意做的事情,”他说。 他补充说,谈判非常成功,“我认为我们目前的谈判非常成功,如果达成协议,很快就会宣布,这将使我们获得免费的石油和畅通的霍尔木兹海峡。一切都会很美好,我认为油价会比以前更低。” 在回答有关铀浓缩20年期限的问题时,特朗普表示尚未最终确定任何期限,并指出“我们还没有就任何细节达成一致……没有20年期限”,同时强调核限制仍然是核心。 特朗普表示,伊朗已经做出了承诺,并补充说“伊朗已经同意了,而且他们非常有力地同意了”,指的是与核相关的保证。 他将战果归功于美国的军事压力和海军行动,称“这是大约四周的轰炸和强有力的封锁相结合的结果”,并表示这增强了美国的筹码。 特朗普描述了当前美国海上封锁的有效性,称“封锁的威力可能比轰炸更大”。 关于霍尔木兹海峡,他表示,海峡局势受到严格控制,执法严密,没有任何船只能够进入或通过该海峡。“他们无法进行任何贸易。由于封锁,他们根本无法进行任何贸易,”特朗普说道。 特朗普表示,美国汽油价格近几日有所回落,并补充道:“嗯,如果你看看当初为了消除核武器而设定的价格目标,就会发现现在的汽油价格并不算高……过去三四天里,汽油价格已经大幅下降。” 关于高油价,特朗普表示,随着一项协议即将宣布,油价可能会有所回落。 “如果你看看石油价格,再看看我们现在支付的价格,就会发现它只有人们预期价格的一半左右,而如果采取我所采取的措施,价格应该会更低。” 特朗普表示,预计阿拉伯国家将帮助支付战争费用,并补充说:“我认为他们会做出贡献。”
