伊核谈判最后期限临近,克里仍抱希望

Secretary of State John Kerry says he is hopeful the U.S. and group of five other world powers can reach a deal with Iran on the country's nuclear program, but that he will not make any predictions.

Negotiators from Iran and the so-called P5+1 group that includes the U.S., Britain, China, France, Russia and Germany are meeting again Tuesday in Vienna.

They have less than a week to reach an agreement before their November 24 deadline.

Speaking Tuesday alongside British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, Kerry called this week's talks "critical."

Iranian media quoted Foreign Minister Javad Zarif saying Tuesday that a deal is still possible and expressing caution toward the international side to not make "excessive demands" of Iran.美国国务卿克里表示，希望美国和其他五大国与伊朗就其核项目达成一项协议，但克里没有做出任何预测。

伊朗与“5常+1”六国星期二在维也纳再次会晤。“5常+1”包括美国、英国、中国、法国、俄罗斯和德国。

现在距11月24号达成协议的最后期限还有不到一个星期。

克里星期二与英国外交大臣哈蒙德一起与记者会面时表示，这个星期的会谈“至关重要”。

伊朗媒体星期二引述伊朗外长扎里夫的话说，现在仍有可能达成协议。扎里夫同时告诫国际谈判代表“不要对伊朗提出过份要求”。
