If that is indeed the case, the episode should not be regarded as yet another incident in a region fraught by conflict and violence. On the contrary, it is a significant window into the arena in which the conflict over the future of Iran's nuclear program is being waged.
果真如此的话，此事就不能视作这个冲突和暴力多发地区的又一次事件。相反，这是一次重大事故，表明关于伊朗核计划未来的冲突大幕已经拉开。
