A last-ditch diplomatic solution appears unlikely, given that the nuclear question plays a decisive role in the Iranian regime’s factional struggles, in which anyone favoring compromise can be considered the loser. Moreover, Iran’s leaders seem to assume that the country is too big and too strong to be subdued by sanctions or air strikes.
由于核问题在伊朗国内派系斗争中扮演着重要角色，任何持妥协立场的派系都会被认定是失败者，因此在希望在最后一刻达成外交解决方案也是不太可能的。此外伊朗领导人似乎也确信自己的国家足够强大，根本不会在制裁或者空中打击面前屈服。
