General James Jones, President Obama's national security adviser, recently put forward a different, albeit equally ominous, prediction. Iran's response to the mounting international pressure might be, he said, to launch an attack on Israel through its proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas.
奥巴马总统的国家安全顾问詹姆斯·琼斯将军不久前曾经提出过一种截然不同，但却同样不祥的预测。他说，越来越强的国际压力可能导致伊朗通过其代理组织（真主党和哈马斯）对以色列发动袭击。类似的袭击可能引发大规模的地区冲突。
