本站:原文:
hěnduōréntán dào谈到duìyī lǎng伊朗dezhàn zhēng战争shízǒngzàiwènměi guó美国huì bú huì会不会zàizhōng dōng中东diū miàn zi丢面子

Many people, when talking about a war against Iran, always ask: Will the US lose face in the Middle East?

dàngèngzhòng yào重要dewèn tí问题shìyǐ sè liè以色列néngcóngzhèchǎngzhàn zhēng战争dé dào得到shén me什么

But a more important question is: What can Israel gain from this war?

yǐ sè liè以色列zǒng lǐ总理nèi tǎ ní yà hú内塔尼亚胡shuōwèizhèchǎngzhàn zhēng战争zhǔn bèi准备lehěnduō nián多年

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said he has been preparing for this war for many years.

yī lǎng伊朗yì zhí一直zhī chí支持bā lè sī tǎn巴勒斯坦réndequán lì权利pī píng批评jiā shā加沙debēi jù悲剧bìngzhī chí支持lí bā nèn黎巴嫩dezhēn zhǔ dǎng真主党bā lè sī tǎn巴勒斯坦dehā mǎ sī哈马斯

Iran has always supported the rights of the Palestinians, criticized the tragedy in Gaza, and supported Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Palestine.

xiāng fǎn相反yī xiē一些zhōng dōng中东guó jiā国家zuǐshàngfǎn duì反对zhàn lǐng占领xíng dòng行动shàngquèyǐ sè liè以色列hé zuò合作

On the contrary, some Middle Eastern countries verbally oppose occupation but cooperate with Israel in practice.

yǐ sè liè以色列chángshuōyī lǎng伊朗kuàiyǒuhé wǔ qì核武器dànhěnduōqíng bào情报rén yuán人员rèn wéi认为yī lǎng伊朗bìngméi yǒu没有zhè yàng这样zuò

Israel often says Iran is close to having nuclear weapons, but many intelligence officials believe Iran has not done so.

yǐ sè liè以色列shuōguān xīn关心yī lǎng伊朗rénderén quán人权gèngxiǎngràngyī lǎng伊朗biànruòfēn liè分裂shī qù失去bǎo hù保护bā lè sī tǎn巴勒斯坦réndelì liàng力量

Israel also says it cares about the human rights of Iranians, but it more wants Iran to become weak, divided, and lose the power to protect the Palestinians.

měi guó美国guān yuán官员chéng rèn承认měi guó美国dexíng dòng行动yǐ sè liè以色列dejì huà计划yǒu guān有关

US officials also admit that US actions are related to Israel's plans.

yǒu rén有人dān xīn担心zhàn zhēng战争huìràngyī lǎng伊朗shòuzhòng chuāng重创shèn zhì甚至yǐn fā引发gèngdezāi nàn灾难

Some worry the war will severely damage Iran and even trigger a bigger disaster.

lǐ jiě理解zhèchǎngzhàn zhēng战争lí bù kāi离不开bā lè sī tǎn wèn tí巴勒斯坦问题

Understanding this war cannot be separated from the 'Palestinian issue'.
