The Israeli government recently suggested that Iran would reach the nuclear threshold within nine months, and Iran could become a major issue in the long run-up to the US presidential election in November 2012. And it is difficult to imagine that Israel’s current government will stand by idly while Iran becomes a nuclear power (or a nuclear quasi-power).
而明年则显得相当关键。以色列政府最近提示说伊朗可能在九个月内达到核门槛，而伊朗问题也会成为现在到2012年12月美国总统大选之间这段长时期的热门话题。同时也很难想象以色列现任政府会对伊朗逐渐成长为核势力（或者准核势力）的状况无动于衷。
