Iran hails ‘progress’ as first day of talks with US conclude after shaky start - The Guardian
미국과 이란의 회담에서 진행이 예상되지만, 단기적으로 시장에 미치는 영향은 제한적입니다.
핵심 요약
이란과 미국은 첫 번째 협상 후 60일 로드맵과 호르무즈 해협 통신 라인 설정 합의.
핵심요약
- 60일 내 최종 합의 로드맵 합의
- 호르무즈 해협 통신 라인 설정
- 레바논 분쟁 해결을 위한 기술 협상 진행
- 이스라엘이 주말에 레바논에서 30명 이상 사망
- 카타르와 파키스탄의 공동 중재 성명 발표
도입
이번 US-Iran 협상은 중동 지역 안보와 에너지 시장에 중요한 전환점이 될 가능성이 있습니다. 특히 호르무즈 해협의 안정화와 레바논 분쟁의 해결이 국제 원유 수송과 가격 변동성에 직접적인 영향을 미칠 전망입니다.
본문 1: 호르무즈 해협의 전략적 중요성
호르무즈 해협은 세계 원유 수출의 30%가 통과하는 핵심 해상 통로로, 이 지역의 안정화는 에너지 시장 변동성을 줄이는 데 핵심적입니다. US-Iran이 통신 라인을 설정함으로써 사고를 방지할 수 있을 전망이지만, 여전히 레바논 분쟁이 확대될 경우 해협의 안보가 위협받을 가능성이 있습니다. 이는 국제 유가 상승 압력을 가중시킬 수 있으며, 특히 한국을 포함한 원유 수입국에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있습니다.
본문 2: 레바논 분쟁의 국제적 파장
이스라엘의 레바논 공격으로 30명 이상의 사망자가 발생하며, 이 지역 분쟁이 US-Iran 협상 결과에 미칠 수 있는 영향을 고려해야 합니다. 레바논의 헤즈볼라가 이란의 지원을 받고 있는 만큼, 이란이 협상 테이블에서 유연성을 잃을 가능성도 있습니다. 이는 협상의 지연 또는 실패로 이어질 수 있으며, 중동 지역의 불안정이 장기화될 경우 한국 기업들의 해외 진출에도 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있습니다.
본문 3: 에너지 시장 전망
호르무즈 해협의 안정화는 단기적으로 유가 하락 압력을 줄일 수 있지만, 레바논 분쟁이 장기화될 경우 유가 상승 압력이 지속될 전망입니다. 특히 한국을 비롯한 원유 수입국은 이 지역의 불안정을 모니터링하며 에너지 수급 전략을 재검토할 필요가 있습니다. 또한, 이란의 원유 수출이 증가할 경우 국제 유가 변동성에 대한 영향을 고려해야 합니다.
결론
이번 US-Iran 협상은 중동 지역의 안보와 에너지 시장 안정화에 중요한 역할을 할 전망입니다. 특히 호르무즈 해협의 안정화와 레바논 분쟁 해결이 성공할 경우, 국제 유가 변동성이 줄어들 가능성이 있습니다. 그러나 레바논 분쟁이 장기화될 경우, 에너지 시장 불안정이 지속될 수 있으므로, 투자자들은 이 지역의 동향을 지속적으로 모니터링해야 합니다.

Iran hails ‘progress’ as first day of talks with US conclude after shaky start - The Guardian
Mediators Pakistan and Qatar issue statement saying talks will run for rest of the week, as fighting in Lebanon continues to threaten agreement
Iran’s foreign minister has declared “progress” after the first day of talks between high-ranking officials from Washington and Tehran ended in Switzerland, despite a tense opening marked by Donald Trump threats to restart attacks.
A joint statement from mediators Qatar and Pakistan said the US and Iran agreed to a roadmap towards a final deal within 60 days. Technical talks between lower-ranked officials will continue for the rest of the week, according to the statement, with fighting between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon at the top of the agenda.
“Pakistani and Qatari mediation has delivered major progress to end Lebanon war,” said Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian foreign minister, after talks broke up just after 3am local time (1am GMT).
The joint statement said the US and Iran agreed to establish a “communication line” to avoid incidents in the strait of Hormuz, and to set up a “de-confliction cell” with Lebanon’s government to ensure the “adherence of the termination of military operations in Lebanon”.
In his message, Araghchi said the first real test of the understandings reached would be this “deconfliction” method for Lebanon, which has emerged as the biggest threat to the agreement signed by the US and Iran last week.
Over the weekend Iran said it had reinstated its blockade in the strait of Hormuz in protest at the continued Israeli strikes on Lebanon and that Trump was allowing Israel to breach the memorandum of understanding (MOU). The memorandum calls for a ceasefire on all fronts, but Israel killed more than 30 people in attacks on Saturday in central and southern Lebanon.
Despite the US military denying that the strait had been closed, Trump responded strongly to the threat on Sunday, saying: “You close it and you won’t have a country. You won’t even make it back to your fucking country.”
The US president also weighed in on the situation in Lebanon, writing on social media: “Iran must immediately stop their highly paid proxies in Lebanon from causing trouble … If they don’t, we’ll hit Iran very hard again.”
Iranian state media said talks had paused after the “publication of an insulting message by the US President”. The Iranian delegation then met with Qatari mediators and left the negotiating site, state media said. Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency said the Iranian delegation refused to return to the room where talks were held, but messages were still being traded via Pakistani and Qatari mediators.
Speaking to reporters, a senior US diplomat said late on Sunday that the Iranians remained on site and the negotiations were on, according to the Associated Press.
Vice-president JD Vance led the US negotiating team in talks with Iranian officials under the terms of the MOU , which allows for 60 days of talks and extends the ceasefire agreed between both sides in April.
He was joined by US special envoy Steve Witkoff and the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Iran was represented by Ghalibaf, Iran’s parliamentary speaker, and Araghchi.
It was unclear whether Vance was set to continue the talks on Monday. The vice-president told US media that he anticipated staying only a “day or two”.
“The question before us now is how much more can we accomplish together? Can we turn over a new leaf?” Vance said as the talks began.
Vance and his US negotiating team will use the 60 days of talks to try to reach an agreement over Iran’s nuclear program. The MOU calls for Iran to, at minimum, dilute its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, but many issues – including Tehran’s right to enrich uranium in the future – remain unresolved.
Vance also played down the impact of violence in Lebanon, saying progress had been made towards ending hostilities there. Neither Israel nor Hezbollah is a signatory to the US-Iran deal, and the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has vowed to keep his forces in southern Lebanon until any threat to Israel is eliminated. Hezbollah has refused to halt attacks unless Israel commits to withdrawing.
Despite this, a renewed ceasefire in Lebanon – brokered on Saturday – appeared to be holding.
According to Iranian state media, the Tehran’s negotiating team said that the start of talks on nuclear issues would require the delivery of other parts of the MOU, including US waivers authorising Iranian oil exports and the release of frozen assets.
Under the terms of the MOU, Iran is allowed to immediately sell its oil freely, while the agreement paves the way for Iran to tap into billions of dollars in assets that are currently frozen.
In a post on social media, Araghchi said his country had secured waivers for oil and petrochemical exports, the release of some frozen assets and the launch of a reconstruction and development plan for Iran. There was no comment from the US on these claims.
