BBC: 美国攻击伊朗计划 (图)

BBC News: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6376639.stm

US contingency plans for air strikes on Iran extend beyond nuclear sites and include most of the country\'s military infrastructure, the BBC has learned.

美国可能的空中打击除了伊朗的核设备工厂也包括了这个国家大部分的军事基地，-- BBC 报道

It is understood that any such attack - if ordered - would target Iranian air bases, naval bases, missile facilities and command-and-control centres.

这样的攻击瞄准伊朗的空中基地，海军基地，导弹设施，和中央指挥中心。

The US insists it is not planning to attack, and is trying to persuade Tehran to stop uranium enrichment.

美国强调他没有进攻伊朗的计划，并努力劝说伊朗停止核开发。

The UN has urged Iran to stop the programme or face economic sanctions.

联合国也紧急要求伊朗停止核研究，否则面临经济制裁。

But diplomatic sources have told the BBC that as a fallback plan, senior officials at Central Command in Florida have already selected their target sets inside Iran.

不过BBC从外交渠道得到的信息说上述只是个迂回计划，在佛罗里达州中央指挥所的高级将官已经选择了他们在伊朗境内的攻击目标

That list includes Iran\'s uranium enrichment plant at Natanz. Facilities at Isfahan, Arak and Bushehr are also on the target list, the sources say.

这个名单不仅包括在Natanz的核开发工厂，Arak, Bushehr,Isfahan的基地也在名单里。--- 据消息提供者说。

Two triggers (两个触发可能性)

BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner says the trigger for such an attack reportedly includes any confirmation that Iran was developing a nuclear weapon - which it denies.

1, 如果证实伊朗的确在开发核武器。

The Natanz plant is buried under concrete, metal and earth
Alternatively, our correspondent adds, a high-casualty attack on US forces in neighbouring Iraq could also trigger a bombing campaign if it were traced directly back to Tehran.

2, 如果伊拉克发生炸弹袭击并且有理由认为是德黑兰(伊朗首都)卷入其中。

Long range B2 stealth bombers would drop so-called bunker-busting bombs in an effort to penetrate the Natanz site, which is buried some 25m (27 yards) underground.

The BBC\'s Tehran correspondent Frances Harrison says the news that there are now two possible triggers for an attack is a concern to Iranians.

Authorities insist there is no cause for alarm but ordinary people are now becoming a little worried, she says.
