一些共和党人对特朗普的伊朗战争再次发出呼吁：立即结束。随着该党的中期选举形势日益黯淡，汽油和柴油价格飙升，数月来支持这场战争的一些共和党人如今开始改变立场。
Some Republicans Issue a New Call on Trump’s War With Iran: End It Now As their midterm picture darkens, and gas and diesel prices soar, some Republicans who backed the war for months are now changing their tune.
特朗普总统近日在联合国大会发言时警告，他可能会“摧毁”伊朗。与此同时，越来越多的共和党人急于与这场代价高昂的战争拉开距离；战争已演变为该党面临的一场中期选举危机。
As President Trump warned in a speech to the United Nations General Assembly in recent days that he might “annihilate” Iran, a growing number of Republicans were scrambling to find distance from a costly war that has swelled into a midterm crisis for the party.
这种分裂局面表明，随着11月 elections临近，特朗普与该党的重点选区候选人之间的分歧日益加深。眼下看不到明确的解决方案，战争已推高汽油、柴油和取暖油价格，成本上涨也蔓延至整个经济体。抵押贷款利率攀升至7%，让本就在通货膨胀中艰难挣扎的潜在购房者承受更大压力。
The split screen showed how Mr. Trump and his party’s battleground candidates are increasingly at odds as the November elections approach. With no clear resolution in sight, the war has sent the prices of gasoline, diesel and heating oil upward, and cost increases have spilled across the economy. Mortgage rates have also climbed to seven percent, squeezing prospective homeowners already struggling with inflation.
特朗普扬言，如果无法与伊朗达成协议，他将扩大战争；而在竞争激烈的选举中，共和党人对这场战事已逐渐失去耐心。
While Mr. Trump is talking about escalating the war if he cannot strike a deal with Iran, Republicans in competitive races are losing patience with the fighting.
共和党在爱荷华州的联邦参议员候选人、众议员阿什利·欣森周五在新闻发布会上呼吁“立即”结束战争，称不断上涨的成本令她“极其沮丧”。共和党在密歇根州联邦参议员选举中的候选人、众议员迈克·罗杰斯曾在这场战争初期大力支持，但他在周一发布文章称战争“需要结束”。布伦克·哈丁正在争夺内布拉斯加州一个摇摆选区的国会席位，该地区近十年来一直由共和党掌控。他周五接受采访时表示，“我们需要尽快结束在伊朗的战争”。参议员乔恩·休斯特德正在抵挡民主党前参议员舍罗德·布朗的竞选挑战。他周五对记者说，“我们必须结束战争”，同时补充称，任何解决方案都应建立在“可接受”的条件之上。
Representative Ashley Hinson, the party’s Senate nominee in Iowa, called at a news conference Friday for an “immediate” end to the war, saying she was “incredibly frustrated” by rising costs. Former Representative Mike Rogers, the Republican nominee in the Senate race in Michigan and an early cheerleader for the war, released an on Monday in which he declared that it “needs to end.” Brinker Harding, a Republican trying to win a swing Nebraska congressional district that has been in his party’s hands for nearly a decade, said in an interview Friday that “we need to bring the war in Iran to a close as quickly as possible.” And Senator Jon Husted, who is working to fend off the Democratic former senator Sherrod Brown, told reporters on Friday that “we got to bring the war to a close” — even as he added that any resolution should be on “acceptable” terms.
尽管如此，许多共和党人仍对冒犯特朗普先生持谨慎态度，担心此举会引发反弹，疏远他们在11月选举中需要争取的共和党选民。尽管欣森夫人和赫斯特德先生呼吁结束战争，他们最近却投票反对旨在限制特朗普先生继续进行冲突的决议。
Still, many Republicans have been cautious about crossing Mr. Trump, fearing a backlash that could alienate Republican voters they need in November. Despite Ms. Hinson’s and Mr. Husted’s calls for an end to the war, they recently voted against resolutions to rein in Mr. Trump’s ability to carry on the conflict.
