U.S. Media: Military Action Against Iran "Imminent"
新华社华盛顿2月18日电 美国阿克西奥斯新闻网站18日报道说,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”。
报道援引消息人士的话说,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。
报道说,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。
报道还说,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。据报道,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。
据以色列第12频道电视台17日报道,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。
