（一）美調(diào)運(yùn)巨彈準(zhǔn)備伊朗戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)（12分）
一條來(lái)自蘇格蘭的獨(dú)家消息本周點(diǎn)燃了世界對(duì)“第一次美伊戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)”的狂想。這條爆炸性消息稱，美軍已將387枚“掩體粉碎機(jī)”智能炸彈秘密運(yùn)往其位于印度洋的迪戈加西亞基地，這些炸彈的目標(biāo)很可能是伊朗的地下核設(shè)施。發(fā)布消息的蘇格蘭《星期日先驅(qū)報(bào)》稱，美國(guó)已做好在數(shù)小時(shí)內(nèi)摧毀1萬(wàn)個(gè)伊朗目標(biāo)的準(zhǔn)備，一場(chǎng)對(duì)伊朗的徹底摧毀正在加速醞釀之中。
　　對(duì)于這條消息，美國(guó)官方?jīng)]有證實(shí)或否認(rèn)，奧巴馬周三最新表態(tài)說(shuō)，要對(duì)伊朗實(shí)施“有侵略性的制裁”，但這位已被罩上諾貝爾和平獎(jiǎng)光環(huán)的總統(tǒng)真有勇氣按下啟動(dòng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的按鈕嗎?確信這一點(diǎn)的媒體說(shuō)，迪戈加西亞是美國(guó)在印度洋上永不沉沒(méi)的航母，以往兩次對(duì)伊拉克作戰(zhàn)美國(guó)轟炸機(jī)都是從那里起飛開(kāi)赴戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)，美國(guó)這回“真要?jiǎng)邮至恕�。一些俄羅斯專家則認(rèn)為，美國(guó)承受不起對(duì)伊朗開(kāi)戰(zhàn)的代價(jià)，最多只是�；Ｈ�。
　　《星期日先驅(qū)報(bào)》“獨(dú)家消息”稱，美國(guó)政府今年1月已同一家佛羅里達(dá)船運(yùn)公司簽署價(jià)值69.95萬(wàn)美元的合同，向位于印度洋的迪戈加西亞島運(yùn)送10集裝箱軍火。美國(guó)海軍網(wǎng)站上貼出的合同清單顯示，這批軍火中包括195枚BLU-110和192枚BLU一117重型智能炸彈，這兩種被稱為“掩體粉碎機(jī)”的巨型鉆地炸彈專門(mén)被用來(lái)摧毀堅(jiān)固的地下建筑，而這些炸彈“最終的目的地”很可能是伊朗。倫敦大學(xué)國(guó)際研究和外交中心主任丹·皮萊士說(shuō)，美軍顯然正在為摧毀伊朗作準(zhǔn)備，這些炸彈能在幾小時(shí)內(nèi)摧毀1萬(wàn)個(gè)伊朗目標(biāo)。
　　路透社上個(gè)月曾報(bào)道說(shuō)，五角大樓正努力加快超大型鉆地炸彈的部署速度，其中BLU一110能攜5300磅重的爆炸物，其爆炸產(chǎn)生的威力是其前身BLU-109的10倍，而B(niǎo)LU一117也是美國(guó)海軍最先進(jìn)的改進(jìn)型鉆地炸彈。
　　這些太炸彈被部署到印度洋令一些西方學(xué)者感到不安。蘇格蘭核裁軍運(yùn)動(dòng)主席阿蘭·麥金農(nóng)表示，美國(guó)此舉“很明顯是在敲響對(duì)伊開(kāi)戰(zhàn)的戰(zhàn)鼓，美國(guó)國(guó)務(wù)卿希拉里最近對(duì)伊朗的威脅言論與2003年伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)之前我們聽(tīng)到的言辭像極了”。
　　以色列《國(guó)土報(bào)》17日說(shuō)，美國(guó)軍方正在做戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)準(zhǔn)備，而最終決定權(quán)在奧巴馬手中，他或許認(rèn)為由美國(guó)采取行動(dòng)比以色列采取行動(dòng)效果更好。俄《晨報(bào)》的標(biāo)題則更加聳動(dòng)——“美國(guó)已準(zhǔn)備把伊朗磨成粉末”。
