tags. We'll translate headings: "The Backing That Keeps Tehran Away" -> "De steun die Teheran op afstand houdt" or "De ruggensteun die Teheran op afstand houdt". "Indirect Talks, Extended Timelines" -> "Indirecte gesprekken, verlengde tijdslijnen" or "Indirecte onderhandelingen, uitgerekte tijdschema's". We'll use "onderhandelingen" for talks. Also "Timelines" -> "tijdslijnen" but maybe "termijnen" or "tijdschema's". We'll use "tijdslijnen" as it's common. We'll translate the meta description: "Iran is avoiding direct talks with the Trump administration, with Russia and China backing its diplomatic stance. The reliance may extend indirect negotiations and slow US-Iran progress." -> "Iran vermijdt directe gesprekken met de regering-Trump, met Rusland en China die zijn diplomatieke standpunt steunen. Deze afhankelijkheid kan de indirecte onderhandelingen verlengen en de vooruitgang tussen de VS en Iran vertragen." We'll produce JSON with proper escaping. Let's write the translation. First title: "Iran slaat directe gesprekken met Trump over en leunt op Rusland en China" - but maybe "slaat over" is not exactly "skips" but "skips" means "overslaat" or "omzeilt". Actually "skips direct talks" means "doesn't have direct talks", so "slaat directe gesprekken over" is fine. Or "vermijdt" (avoids) is also good. But we'll keep "slaat over" to match "skips". We'll use "slaat directe gesprekken met Trump over, en leunt op Rusland en China" - but the title has no comma? We'll do: "Iran slaat directe gesprekken met Trump over en leunt op Rusland en China" - good. Content translation: Article:
Iran spreekt niet direct met president Trump, en Moskou en Peking zijn de reden. Rusland en China hebben ervoor gezorgd dat Teheran niet aan dezelfde tafel met Washington hoeft te zitten, volgens het huidige diplomatieke landschap. Die afhankelijkheid van twee van Amerika's grootste rivalen kan de indirecte onderhandelingen rekken en de werkelijke vooruitgang tussen de VS en Iran vertragen.
We need to be careful: "President Trump" is "president Trump" but in Dutch we often say "president Trump" (no article). We'll write "president Trump". Also "Washington" is "Washington". "Moscow" -> "Moskou". "Beijing" -> "Peking" but in Dutch it's "Peking" (though Beijing is also used, but traditionally Peking is common). We'll use "Peking" for consistency. But the original uses "Beijing" so we could keep "Beijing" but in Dutch it's often "Peking". We'll use "Peking" to be natural. However, in the article it says "Moscow and Beijing" - we'll translate "Moskou en Peking". Also "Tehran" is "Teheran" in Dutch. We'll use "Teheran". "The United States" -> "de Verenigde Staten" but we can use "VS" for short. We'll use "VS" in some places. Also "Trump administration" -> "de regering-Trump" or "de regering van Trump". We'll use "de regering-Trump" as a compound. Let's write the full translation. We'll preserve the HTML structure exactly:
