All of the relevant players – including those, like Saudi Arabia and Israel, that are not sitting at the table but whose presence is very much felt – are clinging to their initial positions. The US does not want Iran to become a military nuclear power or gain regional predominance; above all, the Americans do not want another Middle East war.
包括像沙特和以色列在内的所有相关势力虽然没有直接坐到谈判桌前，但他们的影响力却是切实存在的。这些国家都坚持他们最初的立场。美国不希望伊朗成为军事核国家或占据地区优势；毕竟美国人不希望中东再燃战火。但伊朗则力争成为（非军事？）核国家，在本国大量驻军的地区（叙利亚、黎巴嫩和伊拉克）扮演举足轻重的角色。
