伊朗外長:核談判取得重大進展

伊朗外長扎

Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said Thursday there was "significant progress" in negotiations on the country's nuclear program, but that Iran and a group of world powers did not yet have an agreement.

Zarif spoke to reporters in Lausanne, Switzerland, during a break in the talks, which continued for a second day past the original midnight Tuesday deadline for reaching a framework deal curbing Iran's nuclear activity in exchange for sanctions relief.

Zarif met for several hours early Thursday with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and experts from the Iranian and international delegations.

U.S. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said late Wednesday that the two sides were making progress but "have not reached a political understanding."

If Iran and the group that includes the U.S., Britain, China, France, Russia and Germany agree on a framework, they would then proceed to crafting a final deal by a June 30 deadline.裏夫星期四說，圍繞伊朗核項目的談判取得了“重大進展”，但伊朗和世界六強國尚未達成協議。

扎裏夫是在瑞士城市洛桑舉行的談判間歇時對記者做出上述表示的。雙方本來把星期二午夜設爲達成框架協議的最後期限，目前談判已經進入最後期限過後的第二天。簽訂協議的目的是對伊朗核項目加以限制，作爲交換條件，國際社會取消對伊朗的經濟制裁。

星期四早上，扎裏夫與美國國務卿克里以及伊朗和各國代表團的專家們進行了數小時會談。

美國國務院發言人哈夫星期三晚間說，雙方在談判中取得了進展，但尚未達成政治諒解。

如果伊朗與六強國達成一項框架協議，雙方將爭取在6月30日最後期限前達成一項最終協議。六強國包括美國、英國、中國、法國、俄羅斯和德國。
