Goncai Haber-Biazad: 以色列的袭击引发了伊朗民众的恐慌,特别是德黑兰居民,他们担心军事设施的位置以及袭击可能发生在居民区。伊朗在遭受袭击时没有预警系统,这与以色列的情况形成对比。国际原子能机构对伊朗的核计划表示担忧,因为伊朗拥有大量丰度为60%的浓缩铀,这非常接近武器级别。虽然美国情报评估显示伊朗没有制造核武器,但过去曾发现多个秘密核设施。伊朗签署了《不扩散核武器条约》,但未能充分配合国际原子能机构的检查。对伊朗核武器的担忧与地区稳定以及伊朗对以色列的敌对言论有关。伊朗同意与美国谈判,主要是因为面临经济困难,希望解除制裁。伊朗认为美国是以色列袭击的同谋。国际社会对以色列的袭击反应不一,一些中东国家谴责以色列,而西方国家则更为谨慎。初步报告显示,以色列的袭击对伊朗的铀浓缩设施造成了重大破坏。 Lise Doucette: 特朗普总统在缓和紧张局势中扮演着关键角色,但他之前的言论摇摆不定。他的盟友们正在努力让他关注此事,因为任何在伊朗的大规模军事行动都可能对他们造成生存威胁。希望他们能向特朗普施压,以缓和局势,避免更广泛的全球影响。特朗普表示双方应该达成协议,但伊朗表示在遭受袭击时不会谈判停火,内塔尼亚胡表示问题不是缓和局势,而是阻止伊朗发展核能力。

Israel has launched a huge wave of attacks on Iran. They say the targets of their attacks are Iran’s nuclear facilities and important scientists. Iran has claimed it is not developing any weapons, yet several secret nuclear sites have been uncovered in the past. Iran has responded with drones and missiles.

So is Iran developing nuclear weapons? Ghoncheh Habibiazad from the BBC Persian team talks us through Iran’s history with nuclear weapons. She also gives us an insight into what the reaction on-the-ground in Iran has been like since the attacks started.
