BERLIN – On February 18, crucial negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program began in Vienna between Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany (the P5+1). The alternative to the talks is a further nuclear buildup by Iran, followed by additional international sanctions and, eventually, another war in the Middle East, which no one believes can resolve the problem.
柏林——2月18日，联合国安理会五大常任理事国加德国（P5+1）与伊朗间就伊朗核计划的关键谈判在维也纳开始。谈判的替代方案是任由伊朗核问题继续发酵，进一步加码国际制裁并最终引发又一场中东战争。没有人认为这种方法能够解决问题。那么，究竟能否签署一项尊重伊朗民用核能权、同时又能缓解国际社会对核能武器化担忧的全面协议？
