Shandi Reis: 我认为美国和以色列的联合军事行动意义重大,这是两国首次协调军事行动。美国展示了强大的军事力量,对伊朗的核设施进行了大规模轰炸,这是其他国家无法做到的。这次行动不仅向伊朗,也向该地区其他国家发出了美以军事力量占主导地位的强烈信号。然而,伊朗并没有为此做好准备,它不具备与以色列直接对抗的军事能力。面对美国的打击,伊朗的处境非常困难,必须做出回应以维护其国内和国际形象。最简单的选择是回到谈判桌上,但这可能性很小。因此,伊朗需要在象征性回应和避免局势升级之间找到平衡。他们可以采取像2020年那样的策略,即袭击美军基地但不造成人员伤亡。然而,这种平衡非常微妙,稍有不慎就可能导致局势失控。另一种选择是直接攻击美国在该地区的军事基地或盟友,但这将引发地区战争。此外,伊朗还可以尝试经济战,例如封锁霍尔木兹海峡,但这将对全球经济产生重大影响。美国和以色列也可能采取更激烈的行动,例如推翻伊朗政权,但这更多的是一种威胁手段。目前,伊朗已经对美国在卡塔尔和伊拉克的基地发动了导弹袭击,但据称是与卡塔尔协调,且没有造成人员伤亡。这使得美国有机会退出冲突,并将冲突降级为以色列和伊朗之间的冲突。总的来说,伊朗正面临着一个关键时刻,其未来的走向充满不确定性。
