川普稱伊朗希望達成協議,談判或週末恢復

-- 美國總統川普週四表示,伊朗“希望達成協議”,這預示著美伊兩國談判可能會取得進展。 川普在白宮外對記者發表講話時分享了上述言論,此前不久,他還在Truth Social網站上發布了關於以色列和黎巴嫩之間為期10天的停火的消息。 他表示,黎巴嫩和以色列之間的會談可能標誌著一個突破,並指出雙方可能「44年來首次會面……而且很可能在未來一兩週內在白宮舉行」。 川普表示,美伊之間的進一步會談可能很快就會舉行,並指出隨著討論的繼續,談判「可能在周末」進行。 「……我認為我們非常接近與伊朗達成協議……我認為我們有機會,」總統說。 他還補充說,伊朗的立場已經發生了轉變。 「伊朗想達成協議,我們和他們打交道也很順利……他們現在願意做一些兩個月前不願意做的事情,」他說。 他補充說,談判非常成功,“我認為我們目前的談判非常成功,如果達成協議,很快就會宣布,這將使我們獲得免費的石油和暢通的霍爾木茲海峽。一切都會很美好,我認為油價會比以前更低。” 在回答有關鈾濃縮20年期限的問題時,川普表示尚未最終確定任何期限,並指出“我們還沒有就任何細節達成一致……沒有20年期限”,同時強調核限制仍然是核心。 川普表示,伊朗已經做出了承諾,並補充說“伊朗已經同意了,而且他們非常有力地同意了”,指的是與核相關的保證。 他將戰果歸功於美國的軍事壓力和海軍行動,稱“這是大約四周的轟炸和強有力的封鎖相結合的結果”,並表示這增強了美國的籌碼。 川普描述了當前美國海上封鎖的有效性,稱「封鎖的威力可能比轟炸更大」。 關於霍爾木茲海峽,他表示,海峽局勢受到嚴格控制,執法嚴密,沒有任何船隻能夠進入或通過該海峽。 「他們無法進行任何貿易。由於封鎖,他們根本無法進行任何貿易,」川普說。 川普表示,美國汽油價格近幾日有所回落,並補充道:“嗯,如果你看看當初為了消除核武器而設定的價格目標,就會發現現在的汽油價格並不算高……過去三四天裡,汽油價格已經大幅下降。” 關於高油價,川普表示,隨著一項協議即將宣布,油價可能會有所回落。 “如果你看看石油價格,再看看我們現在支付的價格,你會發現它只有人們預期價格的一半左右,而如果採取我所採取的措施,價格應該會更低。” 川普表示,預計阿拉伯國家將幫助支付戰爭費用,並補充說:“我認為他們會做出貢獻。”
