The main question this year is thus likely to be whether an outcome can be negotiated that is enough for Iran but not too much for the United States, Israel, and others. What is certain, however, is that 2013 will be defined in a fundamental way by whether military action against Iran occurs or is averted.
因此能否达成让伊朗可以承受、同时也不超过美、以和其他国家忍受限度的谈判结果很可能会成为今年的首要问题。但有一点可以肯定，那就是能否避免对伊朗采取军事行动将对2013年做出最根本的定义。
