Good afternoon, everybody. Today, the United States -- together with our allies and partners -- has reached a historic understanding with Iran, which, if fully implemented, will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon. 大家下午好。今天，美国与我们的盟友和伙伴一道，与伊朗达成了一项历史性的谅解，如果得到全面执行，将阻止伊朗获得核武器。
As President and Commander-in-Chief, I have no greater responsibility than the security of the American people. And I am convinced that if this framework leads to a final, comprehensive deal, it will make our country, our allies, and our world safer. 作为总统和三军统帅，我最大的责任莫过于美国人民的安全。我深信，如果这一框架能够最终形成一份全面的协议，它将使我们的国家、我们的盟友和我们的世界更加安全。
This has been a long time coming. The Islamic Republic of Iran has been advancing its nuclear program for decades. By the time I took office, Iran was operating thousands of centrifuges, which can produce the materials for a nuclear bomb -- and Iran was concealing a covert nuclear facility. I made clear that we were prepared to resolve this issue diplomatically, but only if Iran came to the table in a serious way. When that did not happen, we rallied the world to impose the toughest sanctions in history -- sanctions which had a profound impact on the Iranian economy. 这一天已经等了很久。伊朗伊斯兰共和国几十年来一直在推进其核计划。在我上任时，伊朗已经运行着数千台离心机——这些离心机可以生产核弹所需的材料——而且伊朗当时还在隐瞒一个秘密核设施。我明确表示，我们准备通过外交手段解决这一问题，但前提是伊朗必须认真地坐到谈判桌前。当这种情况没有发生时，我们联合全世界实施了历史上最严厉的制裁——这些制裁对伊朗经济产生了深远影响。
Now, sanctions alone could not stop Iran’s nuclear program. But they did help bring Iran to the negotiating table. Because of our diplomatic efforts, the world stood with us and we were joined at the negotiating table by the world’s major powers -- the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, and China, as well as the European Union. 然而，仅靠制裁无法阻止伊朗的核计划。但制裁确实帮助伊朗来到了谈判桌前。由于我们的外交努力，全世界站在我们一边，世界主要大国——英国、法国、德国、俄罗斯、中国以及欧盟——也加入了我们的谈判。
Over a year ago, we took the first step towards today’s framework with a deal to stop the progress of Iran’s nuclear program and roll it back in key areas. And recall that at the time, skeptics argued that Iran would cheat, and that we could not verify their compliance and the interim agreement would fail. Instead, it has succeeded exactly as intended. Iran has met all of its obligations. It eliminated its stockpile of dangerous nuclear material. Inspections of Iran’s program increased. And we continued negotiations to see if we could achieve a more comprehensive deal. 一年多前，我们朝着今天的框架迈出了第一步，达成了一项阻止伊朗核计划进展并在关键领域予以削减的协议。回想一下，当时怀疑论者认为伊朗会作弊，我们无法核实其合规性，临时协议将会失败。相反，它完全按预期成功了。伊朗履行了所有义务。它消除了危险核材料的库存。对伊朗计划的检查增加了。我们继续谈判，看看是否能达成一项更全面的协议。
Today, after many months of tough, principled diplomacy, we have achieved the framework for that deal. And it is a good deal, a deal that meets our core objectives. This framework would cut off every pathway that Iran could take to develop a nuclear weapon. Iran will face strict limitations on its program, and Iran has also agreed to the most robust and intrusive inspections and transparency regime ever negotiated for any nuclear program in history. So this deal is not based on trust, it’s based on unprecedented verification. 今天，经过多月艰难而有原则的外交努力，我们达成了这项协议的框架。这是一项好协议，一项符合我们核心目标的协议。这一框架将切断伊朗发展核武器的每一条途径。伊朗将面临对其核计划的严格限制，伊朗还同意接受有史以来就任何核计划谈判达成的最严格、最深入的检查和透明度机制。因此，这项协议不是基于信任，而是基于前所未有的核查。
Many key details will be finalized over the next three months, and nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed. But here are the basic outlines of the deal that we are working to finalize. 许多关键细节将在未来三个月内敲定，在一切达成一致之前，任何事情都不算达成。但以下是我们正在努力敲定的协议的基本轮廓。
First, Iran will not be able to pursue a bomb using plutonium, because it will not develop weapons-grade plutonium. The core of its reactor at Arak will be dismantled and replaced. The spent fuel from that facility will be shipped out of Iran for the life of the reactor. Iran will not build a new heavy-water reactor. And Iran will not reprocess fuel from its existing reactors -- ever. 首先，伊朗将无法利用钚制造炸弹，因为它不会开发武器级钚。阿拉克反应堆的堆芯将被拆除并更换。该设施的乏燃料将在反应堆的整个使用寿命期间运出伊朗。伊朗不会建造新的重水反应堆。伊朗也不会再处理其现有反应堆的燃料——永远不会。
Second, this deal shuts down Iran’s path to a bomb using enriched uranium. Iran has agreed that its installed centrifuges will be reduced by two-thirds. Iran will no longer enrich uranium at its Fordow facility. Iran will not enrich uranium with its advanced centrifuges for at least the next 10 years. The vast majority of Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium will be neutralized. 其次，这项协议关闭了伊朗利用浓缩铀制造炸弹的途径。伊朗已同意将其安装的离心机减少三分之二。伊朗将不再在福尔多设施浓缩铀。至少在未来十年内，伊朗不会用其先进离心机浓缩铀。伊朗绝大部分浓缩铀库存将被中和。
Today, estimates indicate that Iran is only two or three months away from potentially acquiring the raw materials that could be used for a single nuclear bomb. Under this deal, Iran has agreed that it will not stockpile the materials needed to build a weapon. Even if it violated the deal, for the next decade at least, Iran would be a minimum of a year away from acquiring enough material for a bomb. And the strict limitations on Iran’s stockpile will last for 15 years. 如今，估计表明伊朗距离可能获得可用于一枚核弹的原材料只有两三个月的时间。根据这项协议，伊朗已同意不会储存制造武器所需的材料。即使它违反协议，至少在接下来的十年里，伊朗距离获得足够的炸弹材料至少还有一年的时间。对伊朗库存的严格限制将持续15年。
Third, this deal provides the best possible defense against Iran’s ability to pursue a nuclear weapon covertly -- that is, in secret. International inspectors will have unprecedented access not only to Iranian nuclear facilities, but to the entire supply chain that supports Iran’s nuclear program -- from uranium mills that provide the raw materials, to the centrifuge production and storage facilities that support the program. If Iran cheats, the world will know it. If we see something suspicious, we will inspect it. Iran’s past efforts to weaponize its program will be addressed. 第三，这项协议为防御伊朗秘密发展核武器——也就是暗中发展——的能力提供了最佳可能的保障。国际核查人员将获得前所未有的准入权限，不仅可以进入伊朗核设施，还可以进入支持伊朗核计划的整个供应链——从提供原材料的铀矿厂，到支持该计划的离心机生产和储存设施。如果伊朗作弊，世界将会知道。如果我们看到可疑的东西，我们就会进行检查。伊朗过去将其计划武器化的努力将得到处理。
With this deal, Iran will face more inspections than any other country in the world. 通过这项协议，伊朗将面临比世界上任何其他国家都多的检查。
So this will be a long-term deal that addresses each path to a potential Iranian nuclear bomb. There will be strict limits on Iran’s program for a decade. Additional restrictions on building new facilities or stockpiling materials will last for 15 years. The unprecedented transparency measures will last for 20 years or more. Indeed, some will be permanent. And as a member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Iran will never be permitted to develop a nuclear weapon. 因此，这将是一项长期协议，解决伊朗发展核弹的每一条途径。对伊朗计划的严格限制将持续十年。对建造新设施或储存材料的额外限制将持续15年。前所未有的透明度措施将持续20年或更久。事实上，有些将是永久性的。作为《核不扩散条约》的成员，伊朗将永远不被允许发展核武器。
In return for Iran’s actions, the international community has agreed to provide Iran with relief from certain sanctions -- our own sanctions, and international sanctions imposed by the United Nations Security Council. This relief will be phased as Iran takes steps to adhere to the deal. If Iran violates the deal, sanctions can be snapped back into place. Meanwhile, other American sanctions on Iran for its support of terrorism, its human rights abuses, its ballistic missile program, will continue to be fully enforced. 作为对伊朗行动的回报，国际社会已同意向伊朗提供某些制裁的解除——我们自己的制裁，以及联合国安理会实施的国际制裁。这种解除将随着伊朗采取措施遵守协议而分阶段进行。如果伊朗违反协议，制裁可以迅速恢复。与此同时，美国因伊朗支持恐怖主义、侵犯人权、弹道导弹计划而实施的其他制裁将继续全面执行。
Now, let me reemphasize, our work is not yet done. The deal has not been signed. Between now and the end of June, the negotiators will continue to work through the details of how this framework will be fully implemented, and those details matter. If there is backsliding on the part of the Iranians, if the verification and inspection mechanisms don’t meet the specifications of our nuclear and security experts, there will be no deal. 现在，请允许我再次强调，我们的工作尚未完成。协议还没有签署。从现在到6月底，谈判人员将继续努力解决这一框架将如何全面实施的细节问题，而这些细节至关重要。如果伊朗方面出现倒退，如果核查和检查机制不符合我们核专家和安全专家的规范，那就不会有协议。
But if we can get this done, and Iran follows through on the framework that our negotiators agreed to, we will be able to resolve one of the greatest threats to our security, and to do so peacefully. 但如果我们能够完成这件事，而伊朗也遵守我们的谈判代表达成的框架，我们将能够和平地解决对我们安全的最大威胁之一。
Given the importance of this issue, I have instructed my negotiators to fully brief Congress and the American people on the substance of the deal, and I welcome a robust debate in the weeks and months to come. I am confident that we can show that this deal is good for the security of the United States, for our allies, and for the world. 鉴于这个问题的重要性，我已指示我的谈判人员向国会和美国人民全面通报协议的实质内容，我欢迎在未来几周和几个月里进行激烈的辩论。我相信我们能够证明，这项协议有利于美国的安全，有利于我们的盟友，也有利于世界。
For the fact is, we only have three options for addressing Iran’s nuclear program. First, we can reach a robust and verifiable deal -- like this one -- and peacefully prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. 因为事实是，解决伊朗核问题我们只有三个选择。第一，我们可以达成一项强有力且可核查的协议——就像这一项——和平地防止伊朗获得核武器。
The second option is we can bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities, thereby starting another war in the Middle East, and setting back Iran’s program by a few years -- in other words, setting it back by a fraction of the time that this deal will set it back. Meanwhile we’d ensure that Iran would race ahead to try and build a bomb. 第二个选择是，我们可以轰炸伊朗的核设施，从而在中东引发另一场战争，并将伊朗的计划推迟几年——换句话说，推迟的时间只是这项协议将推迟时间的一小部分。与此同时，我们只会确保伊朗会加速前进，努力制造炸弹。
Third, we could pull out of negotiations, try to get other countries to go along and continue sanctions that are currently in place or add additional ones, and hope for the best -- knowing that every time we have done so, Iran has not capitulated but instead has advanced its program, and that in very short order, the breakout timeline would be eliminated and a nuclear arms race in the region could be triggered because of that uncertainty. 第三，我们可以退出谈判，试图让其他国家也这样做，继续实施目前的制裁或增加更多制裁，然后抱最好的希望——但我们知道，每次我们这样做，伊朗都没有屈服，反而推进了其计划，而且很快，突破时间线就会消失，该地区可能会因为这种不确定性而引发核军备竞赛。
In other words, the third option leads us very quickly back to a decision about whether or not to take military action, because we’d have no idea what was going on inside of Iran. 换句话说，第三个选择会很快让我们回到是否采取军事行动的决定上，因为我们将完全不知道伊朗内部发生了什么。
Iran is not going to simply dismantle its program because we demand it to do so. That’s not how the world works, and that’s not what history shows us. Iran has shown no willingness to eliminate those aspects of their program that they maintain are for peaceful purposes, even in the face of unprecedented sanctions. 伊朗不会仅仅因为我们要求它这样做就拆除其计划。世界不是这样运转的，历史也告诉我们不是这样。伊朗从未表现出愿意消除他们声称用于和平目的的那些计划方面，即使面临前所未有的制裁。
Should negotiations collapse because we, the United States, rejected what the majority of the world considers a fair deal, what our scientists and nuclear experts suggest would give us confidence that they are not developing a nuclear weapon, it’s doubtful that we can even keep our current international sanctions in place. 如果谈判因为我们美国拒绝了世界上大多数国家认为公平的协议——拒绝了我们的科学家和核专家认为能让我们确信他们没有在发展核武器的协议——而破裂，我们能否维持目前的国际制裁都值得怀疑。
So when you hear the inevitable critics of the deal sound off, ask them a simple question: Do you really think that this verifiable deal, if fully implemented, backed by the world’s major powers, is a worse option than the risk of another war in the Middle East? Is it worse than doing what we’ve done for almost two decades, with Iran moving forward with its nuclear program and without robust inspections? I think the answer will be clear. 所以当你听到不可避免的协议批评者大放厥词时，问他们一个简单的问题：你真的认为这项可核查的协议，如果得到全面执行，有世界主要大国的支持，会比在中东打另一场战争的风险更糟糕吗？它比我们近二十年来所做的——让伊朗推进其核计划而没有强有力的检查——更糟糕吗？我认为答案会很清楚。
Remember, I have always insisted that I will do what is necessary to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, and I will. But I also know that a diplomatic solution is the best way to get this done, and offers a more comprehensive -- and lasting -- solution. It is our best option, by far. 请记住，我一直坚持认为，我将采取必要措施防止伊朗获得核武器，而且我会的。但我也知道，外交解决方案是实现这一目标的最佳途径，并提供一个更全面——也更持久——的解决方案。这是我们迄今为止最好的选择。
And while it is always a possibility that Iran may try to cheat on the deal in the future, this framework of inspections and transparency makes it far more likely that we’ll know about it if they try to cheat -- and I, or future Presidents, will have preserved all of the options that are currently available to deal with it. 虽然伊朗未来可能试图在协议上作弊，但这种检查和透明度的框架使我们更有可能知道他们是否试图作弊——而我，或未来的总统，将保留目前可用的所有选项来处理这个问题。
To the Iranian people, I want to reaffirm what I’ve said since the beginning of my presidency. We are willing to engage you on the basis of mutual interests and mutual respect. This deal offers the prospect of relief from sanctions that were imposed because of Iran’s violation of international law. Since Iran’s Supreme Leader has issued a fatwa against the development of nuclear weapons, this framework gives Iran the opportunity to verify that its program is, in fact, peaceful. 对伊朗人民，我想重申我自总统任期开始以来所说的话。我们愿意在共同利益和相互尊重的基础上与你们接触。这项协议为解除因伊朗违反国际法而实施的制裁提供了前景。既然伊朗最高领袖已经发布了反对发展核武器的法特瓦（宗教法令），这一框架就给了伊朗一个机会，来验证其计划实际上是和平的。
It demonstrates that if Iran complies with its international obligations, then it can fully rejoin the community of nations, thereby fulfilling the extraordinary talent and aspirations of the Iranian people. That would be good for Iran, and it would be good for the world. 这表明，如果伊朗遵守其国际义务，那么它就可以完全重新加入国际社会，从而实现伊朗人民的非凡才华和抱负。这对伊朗有好处，对世界也有好处。
Of course, this deal alone -- even if fully implemented -- will not end the deep divisions and mistrust between our two countries. We have a difficult history between us, and our concerns will remain with respect to Iranian behavior so long as Iran continues its sponsorship of terrorism, its support for proxies who destabilize the Middle East, its threats against America’s friends and allies -- like Israel. So make no mistake: We will remain vigilant in countering those actions and standing with our allies. 当然，仅靠这项协议——即使得到全面执行——也不会结束我们两国之间的深刻分歧和不信任。我们之间有着艰难的历史，只要伊朗继续支持恐怖主义、支持破坏中东稳定的代理人、威胁美国的朋友和盟友——比如以色列——我们对伊朗行为的关切就会继续存在。所以不要搞错：我们将继续保持警惕，反击这些行动，并与我们的盟友站在一起。
It’s no secret that the Israeli Prime Minister and I don't agree about whether the United States should move forward with a peaceful resolution to the Iranian issue. If, in fact, Prime Minister Netanyahu is looking for the most effective way to ensure Iran doesn’t get a nuclear weapon, this is the best option. And I believe our nuclear experts can confirm that. 以色列总理和我在美国是否应该推进伊朗问题的和平解决方案上意见不一，这已经不是秘密了。如果内塔尼亚胡总理真的在寻找确保伊朗不会获得核武器的最有效方法，这就是最佳选择。我相信我们的核专家可以证实这一点。
More importantly, I will be speaking with the Prime Minister today to make clear that there will be no daylight, there is no daylight, when it comes to our support for Israel’s security and our concerns about Iran’s destabilizing policies and threats toward Israel. That’s why I've directed my national security team to consult closely with the new Israeli government in the coming weeks and months about how we can further strengthen our long-term security cooperation with Israel, and make clear our unshakeable commitment to Israel’s defense. 更重要的是，我今天将与总理通话，明确表示在我们对以色列安全的支持以及我们对伊朗破坏稳定政策和对以色列威胁的关切方面，不存在任何分歧——没有任何分歧。这就是为什么我已指示我的国家安全团队在未来几周和几个月内与以色列新政府密切磋商，讨论我们如何进一步加强与以色列的长期安全合作，并明确我们对以色列国防的不可动摇的承诺。
Today, I also spoke with the King of Saudi Arabia to reaffirm our commitment to the security of our partners in the Gulf. And I’m inviting the leaders of the six countries who make up the Gulf Cooperation Council -- Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Bahrain -- to meet me at Camp David this spring to discuss how we can further strengthen our security cooperation, while resolving the multiple conflicts that have caused so much hardship and instability throughout the Middle East. 今天，我还与沙特国王通了电话，重申我们对海湾地区伙伴安全的承诺。我还邀请海湾合作委员会六个国家的领导人——沙特阿拉伯、阿拉伯联合酋长国、科威特、阿曼、卡塔尔和巴林——今年春天在戴维营与我会面，讨论我们如何进一步加强安全合作，同时解决导致中东地区如此多苦难和不稳定的多重冲突。
Finally, it’s worth remembering that Congress has, on a bipartisan basis, played a critical role in our current Iran policy, helping to shape the sanctions regime that applied so much pressure on Iran and ultimately forced them to the table. In the coming days and weeks, my administration will engage Congress once again about how we can play -- how it can play a constructive oversight role. I’ll begin that effort by speaking to the leaders of the House and Senate today. 最后，值得铭记的是，国会在两党基础上，在我们当前的伊朗政策中发挥了关键作用，帮助建立了对伊朗施加巨大压力并最终迫使他们坐到谈判桌前的制裁机制。在未来的日子里，我的政府将再次与国会接触，讨论它如何发挥建设性的监督作用。我将从今天与众议院和参议院领导人的对话开始这一努力。
In those conversations, I will underscore that the issues at stake here are bigger than politics. These are matters of war and peace, and they should be evaluated based on the facts and what is ultimately best for the American people and for our national security. For this is not simply a deal between my administration and Iran. This is a deal between Iran, the United States of America, and the major powers in the world -- including some of our closest allies. 在这些对话中，我将强调，这里的利害关系比政治更大。这些是战争与和平的问题，应该基于事实以及什么最终最有利于美国人民和我们的国家安全来评估。因为这不仅仅是我政府与伊朗之间的协议。这是伊朗、美利坚合众国与世界主要大国——包括我们一些最亲密的盟友——之间的协议。
If Congress kills this deal -- not based on expert analysis, and without offering any reasonable alternative -- then it’s the United States that will be blamed for the failure of diplomacy. International unity will collapse, and the path to conflict will widen. 如果国会否决这项协议——不是基于专家分析，也没有提供任何合理的替代方案——那么外交失败的责任将归咎于美国。国际团结将崩溃，冲突之路将会拓宽。
The American people understand this, which is why solid majorities support a diplomatic resolution to the Iranian nuclear issue. 美国人民理解这一点，这就是为什么绝大多数人支持通过外交途径解决伊朗核问题。
They understand instinctively the words of President Kennedy, who faced down the far greater threat of communism, and said: “Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.”1 The American people remember that at the height of the Cold War, Presidents like Nixon and Reagan struck historic arms control agreements with the Soviet Union, a far more dangerous adversary -- despite the fact that that adversary not only threatened to destroy our country and our way of life, but had the means to do so. Those agreements were not perfect. They did not end all threats. 他们本能地理解肯尼迪总统的话，肯尼迪曾面对共产主义这一远为巨大的威胁，并说："让我们永远不要出于恐惧而谈判，但让我们永远不要害怕谈判。"美国人民记得，在冷战最激烈的时候，尼克松和里根等总统与苏联达成了历史性的军备控制协议，而苏联是一个远为危险的对手——尽管这个对手不仅威胁要摧毁我们的国家和我们的生活方式，而且有能力这样做。那些协议并不完美。它们没有结束所有威胁。
But they made our world safer. A good deal with Iran will do the same. 但它们让我们的世界更安全。与伊朗达成的一项好协议也将如此。
Today, I’d like to express my thanks to our international partners for their steadfastness and their cooperation. I was able to speak earlier today with our close allies, Prime Minister Cameron and President Hollande and Chancellor Merkel, to reaffirm that we stand shoulder-to-shoulder in this effort. 今天，我要感谢我们的国际伙伴的坚定和合作。我今天早些时候已经与我们的亲密盟友卡梅伦首相、奥朗德总统和默克尔总理通话，重申我们在这一努力中肩并肩站在一起。
And most of all, on behalf of our nation, I want to express my thanks to our tireless -- and I mean tireless -- Secretary of State John Kerry and our entire negotiating team. They have worked so hard to make this progress. They represent the best tradition of American diplomacy. Their work -- our work -- is not yet done and success is not guaranteed. But we have an historic opportunity to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons in Iran, and to do so peacefully, with the international community firmly behind us. We should seize that chance. 最重要的是，我代表我们的国家，要向我们不知疲倦——我是说不知疲倦——的国务卿约翰·克里和我们整个谈判团队表示感谢。他们为取得这一进展付出了巨大努力。他们代表了美国外交的最佳传统。他们的工作——我们的工作——还没有完成，成功也没有保证。但我们有一个历史性的机会来阻止伊朗的核武器扩散，并和平地做到这一点，有国际社会坚定地支持我们。我们应该抓住这个机会。
Thank you. God bless you. God bless the United States of America. 谢谢大家。上帝保佑你们。上帝保佑美利坚合众国。
