イスラエル、イラン攻撃は当面保留
西側のイラン制裁が継続する限りはイスラエルは攻撃を保留すると、政府高官。
Jerusalem will not launch a military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities so long as the West is pursuing its current diplomatic effort at thwarting the Iranian program, a well-placed Israeli official told The Times of Israel on Thursday.
“Of course we are going to wait, what else can we do?” the official, who asked to remain anonymous, said. To attack before the current diplomatic avenue of engagement was exhausted was unthinkable, he said.
The comments seemed to mark a significant departure from Israel’s previous position, which has been to state that the military option is “on the table.”
Furthermore, the official added, that diplomatic route ? the nuclear talks between six Western powers and Iran ? is going to extend for two more rounds, which have yet to be so much as scheduled.
一方、Ｇ20において、アフマディネジャドはイランの核開発の正当性を主張しつつ、ニュー・ワールド・オーダーの必要性を強調。
In order to tackle the social and economic inequalities and the injustice currently undermining human dignity world-wide, there is a great need for a “new world order,” he said through a Portuguese-speaking translator.
“This order would be based on compassion and justice, and in it, all humanity would be respected,” he said, pointing out that in the world today, a small minority has the power to make decisions, without consideration for the needs of the majority.
来週、プーチンがイスラエルを訪問。イスラエルはイランを甘やかしているロシアが圧力をかけ、ウラン濃縮を止めない場合はロシアが手を引くことを訴えることを期待している。この訪問は軍事的オプションを回避するためのひとつの山場となると見られている。
Russian president may be signaling to Tehran that it needs to compromise in order to retain his support.
対するアメリカは、ただアメリカだけがイランの核開発を阻止し得るとアピール。ややメンツの張り合いとなってきた。
