Unfortunately, there is no country in a position to influence Iran to the extent that China can influence North Korea. The situation is made more difficult by the fact that oil prices are already at a record high, while US ground forces are busy in Iraq, thus reducing the credibility of American military threats to Iran.
不幸的是，还没有任何一个国家可以像中国影响朝鲜一样影响伊朗。石油价格已经达到创纪录的高水平，因此形势就变得愈发困难。与此同时，美军在伊拉克应接不暇，因此也就降低了美国军事威胁伊朗的可信度。
