简答题】
The U.S. and Iran don't agree on much these days. But in their conflict over Iran's nuclear program, both seem willing to use oil as a political weapon.
The U.S. believes that sanctions on Iran's energy exports might force Tehran to renounce its uranium-enrichment ambitions. Iran hopes its threats to withhold some of those exports will persuade the international community to back off.
One thing is certain: a substantial reduction in Iran's energy output would have a significant impact on global oil prices. Iran is the fourth-largest oil exporter in the world. It sells more than 2.5 million barrels a day. Many analysts say a supply cut could drive prices up to $g0 to $100 a barrel.
Some analysts argue that it is less dangerous for the U.S. to simply accept a nuclear Iran than to risk the damage that sharp Iranian production cuts--or Iranian retaliation against a U.S. or Israeli military strike--might do to U.S. interests. After all, Iran is unlikely to ever fire a nuclear missile, which could be expected to respond in kind.
But the Bush administration fears that Iran might sell nuclear material to other states, and possibly to terrorist groups. It's also concerned that other Middle Eastern countries might feel compelled to go nuclear.
The U.S. will continue over the next several weeks to try to push sanctions through the Security Council. But the council is increasingly unlikely to impose them. Russia has extensive trade ties with Iran, and it can veto any resolution.

解析:
这些天来,美国和伊朗还没有达成一致意见。但是在他们的分歧当中,双方都似乎愿意把石油当作一个政治武器来说事儿。
美国相信制裁伊朗能源出口会迫使德黑兰放弃它的铀浓缩计划,而伊朗则希望它在石油出口方面受到的威胁将会被国际组织驳回。
分析家认为让美国接受一个有核的伊朗危险会更小一些,相反如果制裁伊朗会引发它对美国和以色列的军事报复。别忘了,伊朗还未曾发射过一个核导弹。
但是,布什政府担心伊朗会出售核原料给其他国家,很有可能会出售给恐怖组织。着就会引发其他中东国家(特别是沙特阿拉伯)的有核化。
