安南望以48小時內取消封鎖 (Annan Hopes Israel Will Lift Blockade Within 48 Hours)

聯合國秘書長安南說，他希望以色列在兩天內會解除對黎巴嫩的封鎖。安南星期三與土耳其官員會晤後說，他正在同以色列、黎巴嫩和經過擴充的國際維和部隊等各方進行協商。

以色列表示，它將在聯合國停火決議全面落實之際取消空中和海上封鎖。以色列要求黎巴嫩和國際部隊在黎巴嫩邊界全線巡邏，防止真主黨遊擊隊重新武裝。

在黎巴嫩南部，兩名黎巴嫩士兵星期三在試圖排除戰爭遺留下來的未爆炸裝置時喪生。爆炸還使另外一名士兵受傷。

在其他方面，一家英國航空公司表示，星期三晚些時候將打破以色列對黎巴嫩的空中封鎖，直飛貝魯特。目前還不清楚以色列將如何反應。

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan says he is hopeful that Israel will lift its blockade of Lebanon within two days. Speaking after talks with Turkish officials Wednesday, Mr. Annan said he is working with the participants, meaning Israel, Lebanon and the expanded international peacekeeping force.

Israel says it will lift its air and sea blockade when the U.N. ceasefire resolution is fully implemented. Israel wants Lebanese and international troops to be patrolling all of Lebanon's borders to prevent Hezbollah from rearming.

In southern Lebanon, two Lebanese soldiers died as they tried to defuse an unexploded device left over from the war. The blast wounded a third soldier.

In other news, a British airline says it will break Israel's air blockade of Lebanon later today by flying directly into Beirut. It is unclear how Israel will react to the flight.

伊朗推遲與歐盟核問題談判 (Iran Postpones Nuclear Talks With European Union)

伊朗一位高級官員說，伊朗政府將推遲原定星期三與歐盟展開的核談判。伊朗首席核談判代表拉裏賈尼和歐盟外交事務高級專員索拉納原定在維也納見面。德黑蘭派駐國際原子能機構的代表說，這次會晤由於程式原因推遲。

美國國務院發言人早些時候表示，美國期待聯合國安理會所有成員國遵守已達成的決定，因伊朗無視8月31號停止濃縮鈾活動的最後期限而對其制裁。

A senior Iranian official says his government is postponing nuclear talks with the European Union that were expected to begin Wednesday. Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, and the EU's foreign-policy chief, Javier Solana, had been expected to meet in Vienna. Tehran's representative at the International Atomic Energy Agency said the meeting was postponed because of "a procedural matter."

The United States has said it expects all U.N. Security Council members to abide by their decision to sanction Iran for disregarding the August 31st deadline to stop uranium enrichment.
