US president Donald Trump has slammed Iran's latest counterproposal. He called it "totally unacceptable" and "stupid" in a post on his truth Social on Sunday evening. Tehran formally submitted the counterproposal to Washington through Pakistani mediators over the weekend, as part of the ongoing ceasefire negotiation process between the two sides.
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普猛烈抨击伊朗的最新反提案。他于周日晚间在其“真实社交”平台发文，称该提案“完全不可接受”且“愚蠢至极”。作为双方停火谈判进程的一部分，上周末，德黑兰方面通过巴基斯坦调解人，正式将这份反提案转交华盛顿。
Trump warned that the ceasefire is at a critical stage and may collapse. But he also stated that he still believes a diplomatic solution is very possible. Yet he went on to blame Iran for changing its position repeatedly and called its leaders "very dishonest people," reflecting the fluctuating attitudes of the US side towards the negotiation.
特朗普警告称，停火谈判已进入关键阶段，恐有破裂风险。但他同时表示，仍相信外交解决途径大有可为。不过，他继而指责伊朗立场反复，并称伊朗领导层“极不诚信”，折射出美方对谈判的摇摆态度。
Iranian officials have pushed back firmly against accusations that their demands are excessive. A Foreign Ministry spokesperson expressed regret that the US continues to adhere to "one-sided views" and "unreasonable demands," emphasizing that Iran's demands are aimed at safeguarding its legitimate rights and interests.
针对“诉求过分”的指责，伊朗官方已作出坚决反驳。伊朗外交部发言人表示，对美国仍坚持“片面立场”与“无理要求”深表遗憾，并强调伊朗的诉求旨在维护自身合法权益。
Iran's Tasnim News agency has reported in detail on Tehran's response to the US. It stated that the core of the counterproposal focuses on ending the conflict on all fronts, including the situation in Lebanon, lifting the US naval blockade on Iran, and releasing Iran's frozen assets overseas, with a 30-day window for the US to fulfill relevant commitments.
伊朗塔斯尼姆通讯社详细报道了德黑兰方面的回应。该通讯社称，这份反提案的核心是结束所有战线的冲突(含黎巴嫩局势)、解除美国对伊朗的海上封锁，并解冻伊朗被冻结的海外资产，同时要求美国在30天内兑现相关承诺。
A Wall Street Journal report cited sources as saying that Tehran has proposed holding talks on its nuclear program. The sources revealed that nuclear issues will be negotiated within the next 30 days, adding that Iran has proposed diluting some of its highly enriched uranium and transferring the rest to a third country, with the condition that the third country must return the uranium if the negotiations fail or the US withdraws from the agreement later.
《华尔街日报》援引消息人士说法称，德黑兰提议就其核计划展开谈判。消息人士透露，核问题将在未来30天内磋商，并补充称，伊朗提议将部分高浓缩铀稀释，其余部分转移至第三国，且约定若谈判失败或美国后续退出协议，第三国须将铀归还伊朗。
But Tasnim News Agency has firmly refuted the US newspaper's report. It called the claims related to the nuclear issue in the report completely false, clarifying that the core of Iran's counterproposal focuses on ending the conflict and lifting sanctions, rather than the nuclear program as reported.
但塔斯尼姆通讯社已坚决驳斥了该美国媒体的报道。该通讯社称，报道中有关核问题的说法纯属虚假信息，并澄清伊朗反提案的核心是结束冲突、解除制裁，而非报道中提及的核计划相关内容。
