In short, Iran’s electoral outcome is a dangerous one, though precisely how destabilizing it ultimately turns out to be will depend on Ahmadinejad’s actions and the degree of power granted him by Khamenei. Moreover, dealing with such an openly extreme Iran – radical even by the hardline regime’s standards – will be a challenge not just for the US, but for Europe as well.
简而言之，伊朗的选举结果是危险的，虽然它最终会带来多大的不稳定性还要取决于艾哈迈迪内贾德的行动和哈梅内伊赋予他的权力大小。另外，与这样一个公然极端的伊朗（甚至以强硬派政权的标准来看也甚为激进）打交道，不仅对美国，对欧洲也同样是一个挑战。
