Ever since Bush’s State of the Union address at the end of January, hardly a day has passed without something happening in connection with Iran or without the Bush administration’s ratcheting up its rhetoric. Clearly, the US is also pressing ahead with preparations for an air strike.
自从布什在一月底的国情咨文演讲以来，与伊朗相关的形势就一直在变化发展之中，而布什政府的措辞也日渐强硬。显然，美国也在加紧进行空袭的准备。（鉴于美国地面部队的战线已经拉得过长，实施更广泛的军事打击的可能性很小。）
