國際原子能機構負責人首度造訪有爭議的伊朗軍事基地

The United Nations nuclear agency says its chief has, for the first time, visited a controversial Iranian military site where Western analysts allege that Iranian scientists conducted covert research and testing as they sought to build a nuclear bomb.

聯合國原子能機構表示，該機構負責人首次造訪了伊朗具有爭議的一處軍事地點。西方分析人士指稱伊朗科學家在那裏進行祕密研究和測試，以謀求製造原子彈。

A spokesman for the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency said Sunday that agency chief Yukiya Amano visited the Parachin base east of Tehran during a recent visit.

設在維也納的國際原子能機構的一名發言人星期天說，該機構總幹事天野之彌在最近的一次訪問期間，造訪了德黑蘭以東的帕爾欽基地。

His visit comes as Iran and six world powers seek to implement a deal to end a 13-year standoff over Tehran's nuclear ambitions.

天野之彌訪問這個基地，正值伊朗和世界六大國努力實施一項國際協議之際。這項協議旨在結束針對伊朗核野心而產生的歷時13年的僵局。

The semi-official Iranian Student News Agency on Sunday quoted top Iranian nuclear official Ali Akbar Salehi as saying the Amano visit "went well and worked within the agreed roadmap" for implementing the deal.

伊朗半官方的學生通訊社星期天援引伊朗原子能官員薩利希的話說，天野之彌總幹事的“此訪順利，而且是在爲實施協議所商定的路線圖範圍內進行的。”

The agreement, unveiled in July, forces Iran to cut back its uranium enrichment to keep it from building nuclear weapons, in exchange for easing harsh Western economic sanctions that have wrecked the Iranian economy.

今年7月公佈的這項伊朗核協議，迫使伊朗縮減其鈾濃縮活動，以阻止其製造核武器，同時作爲交換，將減輕西方對伊朗嚴厲的經濟制裁。這些制裁措施已經使伊朗經濟受到破壞。
