The United States and Iran are currently holding indirect talks to reach a broader strategic agreement during a fragile ceasefire and a period of regional instability.

在一個脆弱的停火期與區域不穩定期間，美國與伊朗目前正進行間接談判，以期達成一項更廣泛的戰略協議。

The current diplomatic approach uses a multi-level communication strategy. Former Ambassador Lisa Gable emphasized that these negotiations are more effective because of a closer relationship between the US and Gulf Cooperation Council states, such as Qatar, the UAE, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, which was helped by the Abraham Accords. This regional partnership provides a necessary stabilizing structure, whereas some European allies seem less involved.

目前的外交手段採用多層級的溝通策略。前大使 Lisa Gable 強調，由於美國與海灣合作委員會國家（如卡達、阿聯、阿曼及沙烏地阿拉伯）的關係更加密切，且受到《亞伯拉罕協議》的助力，這些談判更為有效。這種區域夥伴關係提供了一個必要的穩定結構，而部分歐洲盟友則顯得參與度較低。

At the same time, the security situation remains dangerous. The US administration has stated that the death of US service members is a clear limit that would end the current ceasefire. This risk is increased by Iranian military actions, including attacks on US bases in Kuwait. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi asserted that these strikes were responses to the US using regional territories for military operations. Since Operation Epic Fury began on February 28, thirteen US personnel have been killed, although no one has died since the ceasefire started on April 8.

與此同時，安全局勢依然危險。美國政府已表示，美國軍人死亡是一個明確的底線，將導致目前的停火結束。伊朗的軍事行動（包括攻擊位於科威特的美國基地）增加了這一風險。外交部長 Abbas Araghchi 主張，這些打擊是對美國利用區域領土進行軍事行動的回應。自 2 月 28 日「憤怒史詩行動」開始以來，已有 13 名美國人員喪生，儘管自 4 月 8 日停火以來尚未有人死亡。

Regarding the main goals of the talks, the administration continues to follow a strict policy to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. A lasting agreement depends on the use of strict verification methods and the reduction of Iranian proxy activities affecting Israel. Furthermore, the success of any deal may depend on whether both political parties in the US Congress agree, especially since previous House resolutions aimed to limit military involvement.

關於談判的主要目標，政府繼續執行防止核武器擴散的嚴格政策。一份持久的協議取決於是否採用嚴格的核查方法，以及減少伊朗影響以色列的代理人活動。此外，任何協議的成功可能取決於美國國會兩黨是否達成共識，尤其是先前眾議院的決議旨在限制軍事參與。

Although the US administration reports significant progress in the talks, the stability of the deal depends on avoiding US military casualties and verifying nuclear limits.

雖然美國政府報告談判取得顯著進展，但協議的穩定性取決於能否避免美國軍人傷亡以及核限額的核查。
