It is understandable that many will not readily be persuaded of Iranian sincerity, not least because the national negotiating style – among moderates and hardliners alike – tends to be anything but frank and direct, with private reason often accompanied by public thunder that makes it hard to assess real intent. But the Vienna agreement deserves wide support, and not just because the alternatives – continuation of acute regional tension at best, and catastrophic military conflict at worst – are so unappealing.
不难理解，许多人不会相信伊朗的诚意，因为伊朗的谈判风格——不管是温和派还是强硬派——绝对算不上坦诚直接，私人原因和公共理由交织在一起，让人为无法判断真实意图。但维也纳协议理应获得广泛支持，因为其他办法——最好情况是继续尖锐地区对立，最坏情况是军事冲突——更加糟糕。
