Iran, the US, and the EU all share an interest in stopping a war that is causing the Syrian state to collapse – with all of the consequences seen in Iraq since 2003 – and strengthening the forces of Sunni jihadism across the region. Whether this is enough common ground for a constructive dialogue with Iran on ending Syria’s civil war remains to be seen, but it is an option that must be pursued.
亲眼目睹了2003年伊拉克战争所带来的后果，制止导致叙利亚走向崩溃的战争并加强该地区逊尼派圣战主义的力量符合伊朗、美国和欧盟各方的利益。上述共同点是否足以与伊朗就结束叙利亚内战展开建设性对话尚有待观察，但这一方案必须得到重视。
