WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama on Sunday ordered his administration to take steps to lift sanctions on Iran by implementing the Iranian nuclear deal reached in July.
奥巴马下令开始采取措施解除对伊朗制裁
新华网华盛顿１０月１８日电（记者周而捷 支林飞）美国总统奥巴马１８日发布备忘录，下令政府开始采取措施解除对伊朗的制裁，以履行美方在伊朗核问题全面协议中的承诺。
"I hereby direct you to take all necessary steps to give effect to the U.S. commitments with respect to sanctions" on Iran, Obama said in a memorandum to U.S. secretaries of state, energy, commerce and the treasury.
奥巴马在备忘录中要求包括国务卿克里和财政部长雅各布·卢在内的相关政府官员“采取所有必要措施”开始履行涉及对伊朗制裁的承诺，但他表示，这些措施将在克里确认伊方已履行其相关承诺后开始执行。
The steps will take effect upon confirmation by the Secretary of State that Iran has met its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Obama said in the memorandum issued by the White House.
奥巴马在当天白宫发布的一份声明中说，美方将与国际原子能机构和伊核协议相关方密切合作，严密监控伊朗对协议的遵守情况，以保证其完全履行协议中的每一项承诺。
Obama issued the order on the so-called "Adoption Day," 90 days for the United Nations Security Council endorsed the Iranian deal.
The "Adoption Day" means Iran and the P5+1 -- namely the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China plus Germany -- will start implementing the obligations under the Iranian nuclear deal.
伊核问题六国（美国、英国、法国、俄罗斯、中国和德国）与伊朗于今年７月１４日在奥地利维也纳就政治解决伊核问题达成一项长期全面协议。根据这一协议，伊朗将限制该国核计划，作为交换，美国将取消对伊朗制裁。
But the sanction on Iran will not be lifted immediately on the "Adoption Day," and the U.S. has said that no relief from the sanctions will take place until the International Atomic Energy Agency verifies that Iran has fully complied with the terms of the agreement.
On July 14, Iran reached the JCPOA with P5+1 over its controversial nuclear program after more than 18 months of marathon talks.
Under the deal, all of the nuclear-related sanctions imposed on Iran will be lifted if the Islamic republic is proved to abide by the deal over the next 10 years step-by-step.
１８日是联合国安理会７月２０日批准伊朗核问题全面协议后９０天，被称为协议的“生效日”。
