As Iran scanned the strategic horizon, it seemed obvious that the US had invaded Iraq because Saddam did not have any weapons of mass destruction. This made Ahmadinejad’s insistence on Iran’s nuclear “rights” popular with the Iranian masses and the middle class alike.
当伊朗进行战略盘算时，美国入侵伊拉克显然是因为萨达姆没有任何大规模杀伤性武器。这让内贾德坚持伊朗的核“权利”的做法得到了伊朗群众和中产阶级的支持。
