刚果共和国一处军事基地发生系列大规模爆炸事件,已有200多人确认丧生,另外数百人受伤。爆炸是由首都布拉柴维尔一处弹药库失火引起的。当地卫生局局长称,由于很多人仍被困家中,死亡的确切数字很难确定。临近数公里外的刚果民主共和国也受到爆炸冲击。
President Obama has warned that the US will not hesitate to use force to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, but he says diplomacy is still the preferred course. Addressing an influential pro-Israel lobby group, he warned against what he called "too much loose talk of war" in the dispute with Tehran.
奥巴马总统警告说,为阻止伊朗获得核武器,美国会毫不犹豫地使用武力,但外交手段仍是更好的办法。奥巴马对一有影响力的亲以色列游说团发表讲话,他警告说反对所谓在伊朗问题上“大谈武力”。
"I would ask that we all remember the weightiness of these issues, the stakes involved for Israel, for America and for the world. Already, there is too much loose talk of war. Over the last few weeks, such talk has only benefited the Iranian government by driving up the price of oil, which they depend on to fund their nuclear programme."
“我请大家明白这些问题的严重性,明白对于以色列、美国和整个世界来说,其中的利害关系。我们谈论战争已经够多了,过去几周里,这样的言论只让伊朗政府获益,他们因此提高油价,而他们的核项目资金就来自石油收入。”
