Mike Baker: 我将报道美国和伊朗之间的核谈判最新进展,特朗普政府声称取得了‘非常好的进展’,而德黑兰方面则表示正在制定一项新的核协议框架。此外,我还将讨论美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯因在其私人手机上使用第二个Signal聊天群组讨论也门美国军事行动的敏感信息而再次陷入困境的事件。 关于伊朗核谈判,白宫高级官员表示谈判富有成效,并朝着积极方向发展。伊朗官员也表达了乐观态度,认为这是朝着更有实质性谈判迈出的一步。第三轮谈判计划在本周晚些时候在阿曼举行。谈判大部分是间接进行的,由阿曼中间人传递信息。然而,据报道,美国中东特使史蒂夫·威特科夫和伊朗外交部长阿卜巴斯·阿拉格奇进行了面对面的会谈。 特朗普政府的一位官员对阿曼伙伴的促成表示感谢。阿拉格奇表示,这是一次很好的会谈,谈判正在取得进展。双方同意不再以2015年核协议(JCPOA)的框架为基础进行谈判。阿拉格奇补充说,他们就一系列原则和目标达成了更好的理解,专家级会议将于周三在阿曼开始,这将为制定协议框架提供机会。 伊朗一直试图取消制裁,同时保留其声称仅用于民用的核计划。双方在伊朗的核计划上存在分歧,美国坚持要完全拆除伊朗的核基础设施。阿曼官员对弥合分歧表示乐观,希望达成一项公平、持久和具有约束力的协议,确保伊朗完全没有核武器和制裁,同时保留发展和平核能的能力。尽管谈判处于微妙阶段,但特朗普总统警告说,如果伊朗不真诚地继续谈判,军事行动仍然是可行的选择。伊朗继续推进其核计划,铀浓缩度达到60%,接近武器级水平。国际原子能机构(IAEA)的报告证实,伊朗拥有约605磅浓缩度高达60%的铀,并拥有组装核弹所需的大部分组件。伊朗坚持其核计划用于和平目的,但拒绝国际检查员进入关键设施。 特朗普政府官员: 我们与伊朗的核谈判取得了‘非常好的进展’。我们致力于通过外交手段解决伊朗的核野心,但军事手段仍然是可行的选择。 伊朗官员: 我们正在制定一项新的核协议框架。我们致力于和平利用核技术,但我们不会放弃我们的权利。 阿卜巴斯·阿拉格奇: 我们与美国就一系列原则和目标达成了更好的理解。专家级会议将于周三在阿曼开始,这将为制定协议框架提供机会。 史蒂夫·威特科夫: 任何最终协议都必须看到伊朗的核基础设施被完全拆除。 阿曼外交部长: 我们致力于促成一项公平、持久和具有约束力的协议,确保伊朗完全没有核武器和制裁,同时保留发展和平核能的能力。 Chuck Schumer: 皮特·赫格塞斯让许多人的生命处于危险之中,他必须被解雇。 Tammy Duckworth: 赫格塞斯必须在耻辱中辞职。 Sean Parnell: 特朗普仇恨媒体继续痴迷于摧毁任何致力于特朗普总统议程的人。
