'Not giving even a tiny bit of nuclear material!' Iran refuses to export enriched uranium, threatens US: If you use force, you will face retaliation ZH「一丁點核材料都不給」! 伊拒濃縮鈾出境 再嗆美:若動武必遭報復
Newtalk新聞 伊朗最高國家安全委員會秘書雷扎伊(Mohsen Rezaei)近日在電視訪問中表示,伊朗絕不允許任何濃縮核材料離開該國境內,更強調「哪怕只有一丁點」也一樣。他同時警告,若美國對伊朗發動任何新的軍事打擊,德黑蘭當局必將採取報復行動,目標甚至涵蓋位於歐洲的遠程美軍基地。 根據《路透社》報導,雷扎伊在接受黎巴嫩親伊朗媒體《廣場電視台》(Al Mayadeen TV)專訪時發表強硬立場。在此之前,美國官員曾淡化對伊朗採取進一步軍事行動的必要性。分析人士指出,自共和黨於 11 月 3 日期中選舉失利後,美國總統川普(Donald Trump)的語氣已明顯轉趨緩和。 儲存於地下導彈城的伊朗導彈。 圖 : 翻攝自觀察者網. 雷扎伊則稱,目前德黑蘭與華府之間並無任何談判正在進行,並警告「美方任何新的襲擊都將遭到打擊遠方美軍基地的反制」,雷扎伊更強調,若歐洲國家的美軍基地被用於空襲伊朗,同樣會成為打擊目標。 針對外界關注的核材料去向,兩名伊朗高層消息人士曾於今年 5 月透露,伊朗最高領袖已下達指令,禁止將接近武器級的濃縮鈾運往國外。對此,雷扎伊在受訪時進一步說明,表示伊朗需要這些濃縮材料來設計核動力船艦與潛艇。他並證實,德黑蘭已正式通知俄羅斯,相關核材料將留在伊朗「供我們自己使用」。報導稱,莫斯科此前曾提議協助將濃縮鈾運出伊朗,以作為緩解美方疑慮的潛在協議一環,但也表示最終決定權仍在德黑蘭手中。 在美國及以色列於今年 6 月空襲伊朗核設施之前,伊朗曾擁有約 440.9 公斤純度高達 60% 的濃縮鈾。 圖 : 翻攝自騰訊網 根據國際原子能總署(IAEA)估算,在 2025 年 …

Beijing hopes APEC 'Big Three' summit will 'read from the script'; Trump reportedly vetoes ZH北京盼APEC「三巨頭」峰會「照稿唸」 傳川普否決
Newtalk新聞 《華爾街日報》(WSJ)9日援引知情人士報導,北京希望若中國國家主席習近平、美國總統川普(Donald Trump)與俄羅斯總統普丁(Vladimir Putin)在深圳亞太經合組織(APEC)峰會期間舉行三方會晤,三人應各自宣讀事先準備好的聲明,盡量減少現場即興討論。但川普陣營表態不能接受。 據報導,中方主張會晤必須嚴格按預定腳本進行,幾乎不留討論空間;若無法事先達成共識與「預定結果」,則寧可改為雙邊會談。中方官員向華爾街日報表示,在此受控條件下,北京願意一併討論烏克蘭等議題,否則傾向分別舉行雙邊會議。 美方則持相反立場。川普政府堅持採用較開放形式,希望三方領導人有更多即時交流,而非各自照稿獨白。川普此前已明確表示,希望在三方會晤中提出核軍控(denuclearization)問題,但此議題長期為中方所抗拒。報導指出,中方擔心正式討論會將自身核武庫較小的現實固定化,因此不願接受三方核軍控談判。 知情人士稱,習近平傾向透過合照與預先準備的聲明,營造歷史性峰會形象,同時避免不可預測對話帶來的風險。三方目前仍在協調會晤形式與議程,峰會尚未最終敲定。APEC峰會訂於11月18日至19日在深圳舉行。延伸閱讀:日本擅闖中國大使館的前陸上自衛官 今被求刑1年6個月想像空間無限…北韓宣稱試射新型高速魚雷 發文不附圖楊宏基觀點》都更困境核心:專業算帳之外更需顧及人性深圳APEC將上演「三巨頭」會談?川普「預告」將會習近平、普丁為防高市早苗出席深圳APEC遭「冷遇」 傳日本政府這麼做…

US fears attack on Iranian nuclear facilities? Iran urgently distributes iodine tablets and issues nuclear explosion evacuation guide; Kuh-e Kolang becomes a potential target ZH美恐攻伊朗核設施?伊朗緊急發放碘片、發布核爆避難指南 鶴嘴鋤山成潛在目標
Newtalk新聞 伊朗政府近期疑似加強針對核設施遭美國攻擊的民防準備。根據英國《泰晤士報》(The Times)報導,伊朗地方網路近日流傳多段防空演練及核災應變影片,內容模擬美國總統川普(Donald Trump)可能下令攻擊位於納坦茲(Natanz)核設施附近的「鶴嘴鋤山」(Pickaxe Mountain)地下核設施,並向民眾說明核爆發生後的避難措施。此外,伊朗當局近期也開始向核設施周邊村莊發放碘片,可以看出當地對潛在的核攻擊憂慮升高。 《泰晤士報》分析流傳影片指出,相關宣導內容模擬地下核設施遭核武攻擊後的情境,並標示周邊城市與設施的距離,包括距離納坦茲約 17 英里(約 27 公里)、卡尚(Kashan)25 英里(約 40 公里)、伊斯法罕(Isfahan)117 英里(約 188 公里),以及首都德黑蘭 223 英里(約 359 公里)。影片也提醒民眾遵循「進入室內、留在室內、注意最新消息」的避難原則。 報導指出,若核設施遭到大規模攻擊,可能將大量帶有放射性物質的碎屑散布至空中,並隨強風吹向數百英里外的地區。影片警告,距離設施最近的居民可能只有 10 至 15 分鐘的時間尋找掩護,較遠地區則可能有數小時可以應變。 除了透過影片進行民防宣導,伊朗政府也開始採取實際防護措施。一名醫療官員向《泰晤士報》證實,當局正在核設施周邊發放碘片,過去每逢戰爭期間,政府都會嘗試向核設施周圍2至3公里範圍內的居民提供相關藥品。該名官員更直言,現在已經無法再信任川普,擔心美國可能真的發動攻擊。 一名伊朗國內政治記者則透露,政府發言人近期已向媒體簡報美國攻擊鶴嘴鋤山的可能性。從衛星影像來看,該地區的安全管制範圍持續擴大,內部道路及 4 處受到防護的隧道入口也逐漸清晰。安全分析人士估計,地下設施深入地底約 80 至 100 …
