The reality is that Iran does not envisage giving up its nuclear breakout capacity. The negotiations are aimed not at eradication, but at lengthening lead-time – specifically, limiting uranium-enrichment levels to 3.5%, establishing a strong inspections regime, and reaching an agreement on the Arak nuclear facility.
现实是，伊朗从未想过放弃其核突破能力。谈判的目标不在于扑灭这一能力，而在于延长时间——具体地说，在于将铀浓缩丰度限制在3.5%以内，在于建立严格的检查制度，在于就阿拉克核设施问题达成协议。但即使这些目标可能也无法达成。毕竟，伊朗官员并未表达过接受严格的、可验证的检查的承诺。
