A few days ago a conference of the leaders of the three allied nations - roosevelt , stalin , and churchill - took place at teheran .
三位盟国领导人罗斯福、斯大林和丘吉尔数天前在德黑兰举行了一次会议。
But the spotlight lately has been on teheran and pyongyang , as both regimes have , in recent days and weeks , taken dramatic turns toward further radicalism , even as their domestic bases of support may be narrowing .
最近焦点转移到德黑兰和平阳，近几周内二者在越发激进，尽管国内民众的支持正在下降。
And if the opposition loses , bibi still wins because the more bloodshed in teheran , the more favourably the world will view israel 's case for regime change ( or at least a massive bombing campaign against nuclear facilities ) .
For the moment , the us , with full support from its european allies , is retracing the path of the first phase of its assault on iraq , ermattung rather than niederwerfung , hoping to bring teheran to reason by sanctions .
The powerful forces in teheran that are eager for an understanding with the great satan-millionaire mullahs , bazaari merchants , westernized professionals , blogging students-have not abandoned their hopes , and continue to press for the local equivalent of a nixon visit .
