越来越多的伊朗政客和强硬派人士要求该国发展核武器，因为与美国和以色列的战争仍在继续——他们终于承认了双方长期以来的担忧。
More and more of Iran’s politicians and hardliners are demanding the country develop nuclear weapons as war continues with the US and Israel — finally admitting what has long been feared by both nations.
伊朗的顶级立法者、分析人士和政客们呼吁该国正式退出《不扩散核武器条约》，并在七个月的战争之后全面展开研制原子武器的竞赛。
Top lawmakers, analysts and politicians in Iran are calling for the country to formally drop the international Non-Proliferation Treaty and embrace a full race to create an atomic weapon following the seven-month war.
“最近的军事冲突表明，伊朗获得核武器不是一种野心，而是比面包更重要的必要条件，”亲强硬派力量的活动人士达武德·莫达雷西安本月早些时候写道。
“The latest military confrontations showed that achieving nuclear weapons for Iran is not an ambition, but a necessity more important than bread,” Davoud Modarresian, an activist close to hardline forces wrote earlier this month.
自前最高领袖阿亚图拉·阿里·哈梅内伊于2005年发布反对发展核武器的教令以来，伊朗领导人一直在回避其核计划的真实意图。
Iranian leaders have long dance around their true intentions with their nuclear program after former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a fatwa against developing atomic weapons in 2005.
此后，官方一直坚持认为，伊朗境内的任何铀浓缩活动仅用于国内核能发展，而非用于制造炸弹，尽管核监督机构以及美国和以色列领导人对此持怀疑态度。
Since then, officials have maintained that any atomic enrichment happening inside Iran was for domestic nuclear energy development and not for bombs, despite doubt from nuclear watchdog groups — as well as American and Israeli leaders.
在战争初期哈梅内伊去世之后，呼吁伊朗拥有核武器的声音日益增多，他的继承人穆杰塔巴·哈梅内伊至今尚未表明是否会偏离父亲的道路，因为他一直未公开露面。
Following Khamenei’s death at the start of the war, calls for a nuclear-armed Iran have increased, with the ayatollah’s successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, yet to say whether he would deviate from his father’s path as he remains out of public sight.
议会国家安全委员会发言人哈桑·加什加维表示，如果他支持发展核武器，伊朗领导人将别无选择，只能跟进。
Should he endorse the development of nuclear weapons, Iran’s leaders would have no choice but to follow suit, claimed Hassan Ghashghavi, a spokesperson for the parliament’s National Security Committee.
加什加维是议会的强硬派成员，他声称伊朗需要一种强有力的“威慑”工具，以确保没有国家能够公开对该政权发动常规战争，这一点曾被《金融时报》报道。
Ghashghavi, a hardline member of parliament, claimed that Iran needed a strong tool of “deterrence” to ensure no country can openly wage a convention war against the regime again, the Financial Times reported.
另一名政权内部人士告诉该媒体，伊朗需要像朝鲜一样发展核武器，以终结国内的外国干涉，该官员表示，对核武器的支持“从几乎为零上升到超过50%”，这一变化发生在战争开始之后。
Another regime insider told the outlet that Iran needs to be like North Korea and develop nukes to end foreign interference within the country, with the official saying that support for the bomb rose “from almost zero to more than 50%” after the war began.
一些强硬派甚至利用特朗普总统关于摧毁伊朗的威胁来煽动发展核武器的需求，将美国称为对该国存在的威胁。
Some hardliners have even used President Trump’s threats about destroying Iran to fuel the need for the bomb, labeling the US as a threat to the country’s existence.
“战争强化了那些认为面临生存威胁的国家最终需要终极威慑力量的人的论点，”危机组织的伊朗问题专家阿里·瓦埃兹对《金融时报》表示。
“The war has strengthened those who argue that a country exposed to existential attack ultimately needs the ultimate deterrent,” Ali Vaez, an Iran expert at Crisis Group, told the FT.
战争开始时，伊朗驱逐了联合国核监督机构的监察员，当时美国和以色列轰炸了该国的核设施，此后伊朗核计划的现状仍然不明确。
The current state of Iran’s nuclear program remains unclear after the country expelled United Nation watchdog monitors at the start of the war, when the US and Israel bombarded the country’s atomic facilities.
美国官员多次声称，伊朗超过900磅的高浓缩铀已被摧毁并埋在废墟中。
US officials have repeatedly claimed that Iran’s more than 900 pounds of highly enriched uranium was destroyed and buried in rubble.
