Moreover, Iran has managed to separate the nuclear negotiations from broader, related issues like its ballistic-missile program, its support for groups like Hezbollah, and its domestic human-rights record.

此外，伊朗设法将核谈判和其他范围更广的相关问题（如弹道导弹计划、其对真主党等组织的支持以及其国内人权纪录等）分离。美国不愿意在现有局面中再增加干扰因素，因此这些问题都不可能被提到讨论议程上来。在这样的背景下，欧盟高级代表凯瑟琳·阿什顿（Catherine Ashton）在最近访问德黑兰期间与持异见者的会晤只不过是象征性的姿态。
