英国首相安迪·伯纳姆周一表示,针对英国费尔福德空军基地及其美国B-1轰炸机的袭击‘几乎可以肯定是由伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队(IRGC)策划的’。
The plot against the U.K.’s Fairford air base and its U.S. B-1 bombers was “almost certainly directed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard” (IRGC), British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said Monday.
作为回应,外交大臣埃德·米利班德召见了伊朗大使进行谈话,并对两名已经受到美国制裁的伊朗人员实施了制裁——以此向伊朗表明态度。’
In response, Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband summoned the Iranian ambassador for a talking-to and sanctioned two Iranian operatives already under U.S. sanctions—because that’ll show ’em.
更明显的信号是,英国仍然过于优柔寡断,甚至不敢驱逐伊朗大使。
The louder message is that Britain is still too irresolute even to expel the Iranian ambassador.
澳大利亚在发现伊朗政权策划了针对其境内的犹太教堂和犹太食品店的恐怖袭击后,立即采取了驱逐伊朗大使的措施。
That’s what Australia did after finding that Iran’s regime had directed terrorist attacks against a synagogue and a kosher cafe on Aussie soil.
今年早些时候,英国也查明了一系列针对英国犹太人的纵火事件是伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队的所为。
The Brits found earlier this year that an arson wave targeting U.K. Jews was the work of the IRGC.
