美国与伊朗外交活动取得成果

Next an editorial reflecting the views of the United States government.

下面的社论反映了美国政府的观点。

Over the past several days, the decision to follow the course of patient, tough diplomacy¹ with Iran bore fruit.

过去几天里，怀着耐心与伊朗进行的强硬外交接触取得了成果。

The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that the Iranian government had fulfilled its key commitments under the Joint² Comprehensive Plan of Action to curtail³ its nuclear program.That verification brought about Implementation⁴ Day, in which nuclear-related sanctions imposed on Iran are lifted,and Iran gains access to its own money which had been frozen.

国际原子能机构证实伊朗政府兑现了《联合全面行动计划》中规定的削减核项目的关键承诺，这样实施日这一天就来到了，在这天施加给伊朗的与核相关的制裁均已被取消，伊朗重新获得被冻结的资金。

President Barack Obama hailed these developments, saying that now Iran will not be able to develop a nuclear weapon,and that “the region, the United States, and the world will be more secure:”“Perhaps most important of all, we’ve achieved this historic progress through diplomacy, without resorting to another war in the Middle East.”

巴拉克·奥巴马总统称赞了这一进展，称现在伊朗已经无法开发核武器，“整个地区、美国乃至全世界都会更加安全，可能最重要的是，我们通过外交手段取得了这一历史性的进步，而不是通过在中东发动另一场战争来实现。”

President Obama noted⁵ that the precedent⁶ and practice of engagement with Iran made possible other positive developments, among them the recent, rapid release from detention⁷ of American sailors who had accidentally strayed into Iranian waters in the Persian Gulf⁸;and the welcome and long-awaited release of several Americans unjustly held in Iran—some of whom, like Amir Hekmati, Saeed Abedini and Jason Rezaian, faced years of continuing imprisonment⁹.

奥巴马总统指出，与伊朗接触的先例和实践使得其他积极的进展得以实现，包括最近伊朗立即释放被拘美国海员一事，这些海员是偶然误入波斯湾的伊朗水域的，伊朗还释放了被非法关押的几名美国人，这一让人期待已久的举动受到了欢迎，其中一些被囚禁者，包括埃米尔·赫克迈堤、萨伊德和芮塞恩已被关押多年。

President Obama observed that the United States remains¹⁰ concerned over Iran’s destructive behavior in the region, including its threats against Israel and the Gulf countries; its support of violent proxies¹¹ in Syria and Yemen;as well as its human rights violations¹² and development of ballistic missiles:“We are going to remain vigilant¹³ about it. We’re not going to waver in the defense¹⁴ of our security or that of our allies and partners."

奥巴马总统表示，美国将继续关注伊朗在该地区的破坏性活动，包括对以色列和海湾国家的威胁，对叙利亚和也门暴乱代理武装的支持，以及人权侵犯行为和开发弹道导弹的做法。“我们将继续对此保持警惕，我们不会放弃对美国、我们的盟友和伙伴国安全的捍卫。”
