金十数据2月11日讯，据华尔街日报报道，特朗普政府官员已讨论是否扣押更多运输伊朗石油的油轮，以进一步向德黑 兰施压。但由于担忧伊朗几乎必然的报复行动以及对全球石油市场的影响，美国官员表示目前尚未采取行动。如果美国 采取行动阻止其他受制裁船只在伊朗装载石油，将挤压德黑兰的主要收入来源。此举将扩大白宫去年12月在加勒比海地 区实施的激进战略。然而，一些官员表示，该方案作为白宫迫使德黑兰达成限制核计划协议的数个选项之一，面临重重 障碍，扣押行为甚至被视为一种战争行为。针对美国升级的打击行动，伊朗很可能通过扣押该地区美国盟友的油轮，甚 至在霍尔木兹海峡布设水雷作为回应。任何一种举动都可能导致油价大幅攀升，使白宫面临政治风暴的风险。 ·伊朗官员：若美伊核问题谈判成功 对话或将拓展至其他领域 金十数据2月11日讯，当地时间10日，伊朗最高国家安全委员会秘书、最高领袖顾问拉里贾尼表示，前一阶段的美伊谈 判进程逐步取得了进展。他指出，只要谈判具备现实可行性，伊朗愿意继续参与相关谈判。拉里贾尼称，伊朗在首轮谈 判中的立场是积极的，并表示，下一阶段可能带来战略缓和的契机，或者至少能实现政治立场的重新调整，而这取决于 对话的最终结 ...
