伊朗还没有对是否接受联合国核机构的核浓缩协议表态,但是法国外长说这“不是一个积极”迹象。这项计划将把德黑兰的铀浓缩到可供民用但是比制造核武器所需的水平要低的程度。

法国外长库什内说,从德黑兰的迹象看是“不积极”的。但他说,他对伊朗接受该协议仍抱有希望。

伊朗国家电视台引用一名没有说明身份的谈判代表的话说,德黑兰正在等待世界大国对它的提议给予“积极并具有建设性意义”的回应。 这位谈判代表没有具体说明,而且不能立即弄清楚他是否指的是一项对立的提议。

There is still no word from Iran on whether it will accept a uranium enrichment deal proposed by the United Nations nuclear agency — but the French foreign minister says t**he signs are, in his words, “not positive.”The plan would give Iran access to uranium enriched to a level sufficient for civilian use, but lower than what is needed for a nuclear weapon. Negotiators in Vienna had set a Friday deadline for an agreement.

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said the indications from Tehran are “not positive.” But he said he retains hope the Iranians will still accept the deal.

Iranian state television is quoting an unidentified Iranian negotiator as saying Tehran is awaiting a “positive and constructive” response from world powers to its proposal.The negotiator did not elaborate, and it was not immediately clear if he was referring to a counterproposal.
