Germany has been determined, together with France and Britain, to get Iran to stop uranium enrichment through incentives and negotiation. While the US has now explicitly welcomed the European initiative, it remains openly skeptical and unwilling to join, thus weakening the chances of success.
关于什么是最有可能导致争议的问题、如何应对伊朗的核武器计划，德国已经和法、英两国一道做出决定，将通过“奖励刺激”和谈判来使伊朗停止铀浓缩计划。尽管美国现已明确对欧洲的行动表示欢迎，它仍公开对此表示怀疑，迟迟不愿加入，也因此减小了成功的可能性。若是该行动失败，将导致美国转而寻求联合国安理会对伊朗实行正式谴责及制裁。
