UN secretary general Antonio Guterres has met with the Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif at the UN headquarters. The meeting comes two years after the deal to cut back on the country's nuclear program was inked. Guterres expressed confidence the deal reached in 2015 will help ensure the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program.
However, US president Donald Trump is calling the agreement a windfall to Iran which only delayed its pursuit of nuclear weapons. Tehran is urging Washington to honor the deal by lifting sanctions on Iran. I think our compliance is rather straightforward because it's not forgetting whether we have complied or not. We have given the mandate to the IAEA. Actually the agreement is given the mandate to the IAEA to verify our compliance and it has verified every time that Iran has complied.
As far as the United States is concerned, we believe that for for the United States it has been even even during the Obama administration more important to maintain the sanctions that remain rather than remove the sanctions that we lifted.
参考译文
联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯在联合国总部会见了伊朗外交部长穆罕默德·贾瓦德·扎里夫。此次会面正值削减伊朗核武器的协议签订两年之后。古特雷斯相信2015年签订的这项协议有助于保证伊朗核项目的安全性。
但是，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普认为该协议是伊朗的意外收获，因为它仅仅拖延了伊朗追求核武器的时间。德黑兰敦促华盛顿方面取消对伊朗的制裁，以此表达对该协议的尊重。我觉得我们的服从相当明显，因为人们并没有忘记我们是否遵守了规定。我们将授权交给了国际原子能组织（IAEA）。其实，这项协议将授权交给了国际原子能组织来证明我们的服从性，事实上它也证明了伊朗每次都有服从。
在美国看来，我们相信对美国而言，即便是在奥巴马政权期间，维持现有的制裁比取消制裁更加重要。
