-- 據媒體報道,伊朗提議在推遲核談判的同時重新開放霍爾木茲海峽,白宮新聞秘書卡羅琳·萊維特表示,該提議正在討論中。 白宮新聞秘書卡羅琳·萊維特在新聞發布會上表示,美國總統唐納德·川普週一與高級國家安全官員舉行會議,討論了伊朗的提議。 萊維特說:「我可以確認,總統今天上午與他的國家安全團隊舉行了會議。」她補充說,據報道,該提議正在討論中。 萊維特並未就美國政府是否會接受該提議發表評論。 根據媒體報道,伊朗週日提出的提議建議重新開放霍爾木茲海峽,同時將核子計畫談判延後到以後階段。 萊維特表示,川普的關鍵條件沒有改變。她拒絕證實美國政府是否正在積極考慮該提議,並表示川普很快就會就此問題發表公開演說。 美國國務卿馬可·盧比奧批評了這項提議,他在接受福克斯新聞採訪時表示,該提議將使伊朗控制國際水道的通行權。 盧比歐說,伊朗的做法將要求船隻必須獲得許可才能通行,否則將面臨威脅,他認為這破壞了國際航行開放的原則。 他還補充說,美國不會接受任何允許伊朗控制霍爾木茲海峽通行權或對使用霍爾木茲海峽的船隻徵收費用的製度。 此前,原定於週末舉行的第二輪美伊會談並未如預期進行。 根據Truth Social週六發布的消息,美國總統唐納德·川普表示,他沒有派遣代表前往伊斯蘭堡,理由是伊朗領導層內部存在分歧。 川普說:“……他們的領導層內部存在巨大的內訌和混亂,”並補充說,“如果他們想談,他們只需要打個電話就行了!” 美國國務院尚未回覆的置評請求。 石油市場對此事態發展做出了反應,布蘭特原油上漲約 2.77% 至每桶 108.25 美元,美國西德州中質原油上漲約 2.42% 至每桶 96.68 美元。
