伊朗战争:美伊可能达成终战协议,油价股市作出快速反应 - BBC News 中文
伊朗表示,一项由美国提出、旨在结束战争的方案"仍在考虑之中",早前有报导指双方可能即将达成协议。 美国新闻网站Axios周三(5月6日)报导,白宫相信正逐步接近与伊朗达成一份包含14项条款的谅解备忘录。 伊朗议会一名资深议员驳斥那是一份"愿望清单",而外交部发言人则表示,德黑兰将与巴基斯坦调解者分享其对美国提议的看法。 巴基斯坦外长表示,巴方正"努力将此次停火转化为永久结束这场战争"。总统特朗普(Donald Trump,川普)则称,美国在"过去24小时内与伊朗进行了非常良好的会谈",并指有可能达成协议。 Axios在报导中描述该谅解备忘录为一份仅有一页、包含14项内容的文件,或可为更为详细的核谈判设定框架。 其中包括暂停伊朗的铀浓缩活动、解除制裁,以及恢复霍尔木兹海峡的自由通行。 报导引述两名美国官员及另外两名消息人士 -- -- 均为匿名 -- -- 称他们曾听取相关情况的简报。这些消息人士表示,备忘录中列出的多项条款,将取决于是否能达成最终协议。 路透社报导称,两名了解美伊调停进展的消息人士已证实Axios最初披露的相关消息,但有关提案的具体内容尚未对外公布。 伊朗外交部发言人巴加埃(Esmaeil Baghaei,巴盖伊)对伊朗学生通讯社(ISNA)表示:"伊朗仍在检视美国的提议,检视结束后,伊朗会将意见告知巴基斯坦。" 对于Axios的报导,伊朗国会国家安全与外交政策委员会发言人雷扎伊(Ebrahim Rezaei)在社交平台X上写道:"美国人在一场处于失利的战争中,不会得到任何他们在面对面谈判中未曾获得的东西。" 他又表示,伊朗"已经做好了准备,随时可以开火",并警告称,若美国不"投降并做出必要的让步",伊朗将"作出严厉且令人后悔的回应"。 特朗普亦威胁会令冲突升级。他在社交平台"真相社交"(Truth Social)写道,若伊朗不同意达成协议,"轰炸将会开始,而且不幸的是,规模与强度将远高于以往"。 他还表示,"史诗愤怒行动"(Operation Epic Fury) -- -- 美以针对伊朗的初步军事行动 -- -- 将会结束,"前提是伊朗同意履行已经达成的协议"。此前,美国国务卿卢比奥(Marco Rubio)称该行动在达成既定目标后已经结束。 特朗普还说,伊朗已同意"永不拥有核武器"等条件,但这并非他首次宣称。德黑兰方面并未证实这个说法。伊朗的核计划一直是双方谈判中的主要争议之一。 "他们(伊朗)希望达成协议。我们在过去24小时内进行了非常良好的会谈,很有可能会达成协议,"特朗普补充:"我认为我们赢了。" 特朗普周二宣布将暂停"自由计划"(Project Freedom),距其宣布该行动仅数日。该行动原意是协助滞留船只经由霍尔木兹海峡驶离波斯湾,从而帮助恢复石油供应,并最终促进全球经济恢复正常。 伊朗方面尚未就暂停行动发表公开回应,但伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队(IRGC)暗示,若"侵略者的威胁终结",该海峡或会重新开放。 伊朗尚未就此暂停做出公开回应,但伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队(IRGC)暗示,如果"侵略者的威胁停止",将会重新开放海峡。 这条关键的水道,平时会承载全球约20%的石油与液化天然气运输,自美国与以色列于2月底对伊朗发动攻击以来,这条水道实际上已被伊朗封锁。 4月初,美国与伊朗宣布停火协议,伊朗当时停止对包括阿联酋(UAE,阿拉伯联合大公国)在内的海湾国家发动无人机与导弹攻击,但此后仍然只有少数船只能够通过该海峡。 美国亦对伊朗港口实施封锁,称已拦截数十艘船只。美国中央司令部周三表示,已在阿曼湾开火阻止一艘试图突破封锁的伊朗籍油轮。 以色列总理内塔尼亚胡(Benjamin Netanyahu)周三表示,他与特朗普在对伊朗问题上已"全面协调"。 "这并不令人意外。我们拥有共同的目标,而最重要的目标是将所有浓缩铀从伊朗移除,并拆除伊朗的浓缩铀的能力。"他说。 在他发表这番言论之前,以色列对黎巴嫩首都贝鲁特发动了自 4 月达成停火协议以来的首次袭击。 内塔尼亚胡在社交媒体上表示,相关行动针对一名真主党的高级指挥官,称其需要为"向以色列定居点开火并伤害以色列国防军士兵负上责任"。 真主党是获得伊朗支持的武装组织与政党,于3月初为报复以色列对伊朗的攻击而开始对以色列发动袭击。 尽管已达成停火协议,以色列与真主党仍持续互相攻击,并指责对方违反协议。 以色列的大多数空袭集中于黎巴嫩南部,而真主党则透过火箭与无人机,对黎巴嫩及以色列北部的以军发动攻击。 美国与伊朗可能达成终结协议的消息传出后,国际油价回落,全球股市上扬。 作为国际油价基准的布兰特原油期货,在相关消息传出后一度跌至每桶97美元(73英镑),随后回升至101美元以上;当日稍早,油价曾超过108美元。 英国富时100指数及德国DAX指数收市均上涨超过2%,法国CAC 40指数则上升3%。亚洲主要股市当日亦普遍收高,美国标准普尔500指数全日上升超过1%。 尽管近期油价回落,但仍远高于美以对伊朗开战前约每桶70美元的水平。这场战争导致该地区的石油生产和运输大幅下滑。 这场冲突的核心,在于伊朗威胁会袭击经过霍尔木兹海峡的油轮,以报复美国和以色列的袭击。 全球约五分之一的石油与天然气运输通常需要经过这个海峡通行,而该海峡实际上已关闭数周。自冲突爆发以来,全球天然气价格亦大幅上升。 股市方面,欧洲主要股市仍低于2月底的水平,而标准普尔500指数则上升超过1%。 周三,亚洲主要股市全线上涨,韩国综合股价指数收市大涨6.
