A secret memo by US Defense Secretary Robert Gates urges Washington to consider the use of military force against Iran if diplomacy fails to scrap the country's nuclear program.
一張美國國防部長羅伯特蓋茨的秘密備忘錄，敦促華盛頓考慮使用武力針對伊朗，如果廢棄該國的核計劃的外交努力失敗。
In what seems to be a new twist in US efforts to tackle Iran's enrichment activities, The New York Times reveals that a three-page memorandum, which has been circulating in Washington since January, has advocated military action against Tehran.
在什麼看似是一個新轉折，在美國的努力去解決伊朗的鈾濃縮活動，紐約時報透露一份自1月以來，一直流傳在華盛頓 的3頁備忘錄，已主張對德克蘭採取軍事行動。
The classified memorandum, according to unnamed government officials quoted by the Times, warns that Washington lacks an effective policy in dealing with Iran's nuclear program and should therefore come up with new options.
那分類的備忘錄警告，根據由紐約時報引述的不具名政府官員，華盛頓欠缺一項有效的政策，在處理伊朗的核計劃，和應該因此堤出新的選擇。
One senior official has said that the memo accuses Iran of weapons development and lays out a set of military alternatives to counter Iran's progress in nuclear science and technology.
一名高級官員說，備忘錄指控伊朗發展武器，和定出一套軍事選擇以打擊伊朗的核科學與技術進展。
Some US officials, however, have played down the significance of the report, saying that the Obama administration has always "anticipated the full range of contingencies" against Iran.
但是，一些美國官員已淡化該報告的意義，說奧巴馬政府常有預期針對伊朗的“全方位應急計劃”。
"It is absolutely false that any memo touched off a reassessment of our options," AP quoted National Security Council spokesman Benjamin Rhodes as saying.
“它是絕對虛假的，任何備忘錄引發我們選擇的重新評估，”美聯社引述國家安全委員會發言人本傑明羅茲所說。
"This administration has been planning for all contingencies regarding Iran for many months," he added.
“這個政府多月來一直計劃對伊朗的所有突變，”他補充。
The memo has surfaced at a time when Washington is trying to garner support for a new set of sanctions on Iran over its refusal to give up uranium enrichment.
那份備忘錄蒲面正當華盛頓在試圖，爭取支持新一套的制裁對伊朗拒絕放棄鈾濃縮活動。
For years, Washington has accused Iran of having plans to build a secret nuclear weapons program "in the near future."

Iran has rejected the accusations, saying that its nuclear program is intended for energy production, not weapons development.
