They will need quickly to face up to the reality that in order to pursue US interests in the region, including stabilizing Iraq and Afghanistan, the current standoff with Iran cannot continue, and that a greater degree of cooperation is unavoidable.

他们将会很快地面对这样一个现实，那就是，为了寻求美国在该地区的利益、包括稳定伊拉克和阿富汗局势，目前与伊朗的对峙局面无法维系，而且更大程度上的合作无法回避。如果他们不想重复以前美国政府的失败，他们就非常应该做那些奥巴马的前任们所没有尝试过的东西。
