Sources: US and Israel May Launch Joint Attack on Iran
美国方面18日消息称，目前没有任何迹象表明美国与伊朗的外交谈判会取得突破，与此同时，越来越多的证据表明美对伊军事行动“迫在眉睫”。
消息人士透露，如果美国对伊朗发动军事行动，很可能是一场为期数周的大规模行动。美国和以色列很可能将联合行动，其规模将比去年6月“12日战争”大得多，对伊朗更具“生存性威胁”，也将对整个地区产生深远影响。
有分析称，美国和伊朗17日在瑞士日内瓦举行谈判，尽管双方都表示谈判“取得进展”，但分歧还很大。目前来看，双方达成协议的可能性不大。此外，美国总统特朗普在军事和言论上不断加码，这使得在伊朗方面作出重大让步之前，他很难退让。特朗普的顾问们也认为，在中东地区进行大量军事部署不是“虚张声势”。
目前，美国已在中东地区部署一个航空母舰打击群，第二个航母打击群正在部署。据悉，美军还在中东地区部署了十多艘其他类型军舰、数百架战斗机和多套防空系统，并动用超过150架次的军用运输机将武器装备和弹药运往中东。
据以色列方面17日消息，以方认为美伊谈判已进入“关键阶段”，由于美伊“分歧明显”，以色列正为“美国与伊朗谈判破裂”作准备。
