安南望以48小时内取消封锁 (Annan Hopes Israel Will Lift Blockade Within 48 Hours)

联合国秘书长安南说，他希望以色列在两天内会解除对黎巴嫩的封锁。安南星期三与土耳其官员会晤后说，他正在同以色列、黎巴嫩和经过扩充的国际维和部队等各方进行协商。

以色列表示，它将在联合国停火决议全面落实之际取消空中和海上封锁。以色列要求黎巴嫩和国际部队在黎巴嫩边界全线巡逻，防止真主党游击队重新武装。

在黎巴嫩南部，两名黎巴嫩士兵星期三在试图排除战争遗留下来的未爆炸装置时丧生。爆炸还使另外一名士兵受伤。

在其他方面，一家英国航空公司表示，星期三晚些时候将打破以色列对黎巴嫩的空中封锁，直飞贝鲁特。目前还不清楚以色列将如何反应。

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.

伊朗推迟与欧盟核问题谈判 (Iran Postpones Nuclear Talks With European Union)

伊朗一位高级官员说，伊朗政府将推迟原定星期三与欧盟展开的核谈判。伊朗首席核谈判代表拉里贾尼和欧盟外交事务高级专员索拉纳原定在维也纳见面。德黑兰派驻国际原子能机构的代表说，这次会晤由于程序原因推迟。

美国国务院发言人早些时候表示，美国期待联合国安理会所有成员国遵守已达成的决定，因伊朗无视8月31号停止浓缩铀活动的最后期限而对其制裁。

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.
