Toby Gillis: 特朗普政府对伊朗的措辞日趋强硬,暗示可能采取军事行动。许多人认为,这不仅仅是姿态,而是真实的威胁。 Elizabeth Braw: 作为大西洋理事会跨大西洋安全倡议的高级研究员,我认为评估特朗普政府是否会对伊朗动用军事力量以解决核问题,需要考虑动用谁的军事力量。如果需要美国介入,那将使冲突升级到全新的层面。美国和伊朗之间的武装冲突与以色列和伊朗之间的冲突性质截然不同。特朗普非常看重自己“交易撮合者”的名声,伊朗可能认为这只是为了迫使他们达成协议的策略。伊朗、以色列和美国三方有不同的目标,以色列希望彻底结束伊朗的核计划,而特朗普则希望达成一项新的核协议,以取代奥巴马政府的协议。特朗普想要达成核协议,与彻底摧毁伊朗的核能力是不同的。以特朗普的思维模式来看,他对伊朗开战的可能性不大,但他又难以预测。最初的伊朗核协议是一个好的协议,并且运作良好。新的伊朗核协议在实质内容上不会有太大变化,主要区别在于它将是美国和伊朗之间的双边协议,而不是多边协议。政权更迭可能是一个更永久、更安全的目标,但实现起来非常困难。美国多次尝试政权更迭,但每次都以失败告终。结束伊朗的核计划是一个现实的目标,但问题是如何实现。阿拉伯国家对伊朗的支持明显不足,即使以色列是对手。伊朗在中东地区是一个异类,不是阿拉伯国家的天然盟友。沙特阿拉伯和伊朗现在保持着比过去更紧密的关系。中东地区的忠诚和联盟与欧洲不同。

Shownotes Transcript

With Iran refusing to do a deal with Israel to end their conflict, Donald Trump's threat to rain the might of the US armed forces down on the country lingers. But how would that play out and why is the US president prepared to go to war with Iran when he normally avoids conflict at all costs? With analysis from Elisabeth Braw, senior fellow with the Atlantic Council’s Transatlantic Security Initiative.
