美国佛罗里达州共和党众议员卡特·坎马克(Kat Cammack)周日表示,伊朗政府“显然”参与了英国当局当天早些时候挫败的一起涉嫌恐怖袭击事件。
Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) said Sunday the Iranian government was “clearly” involved in an alleged terror attack authorities in the U.K. thwarted earlier in the day.
坎马克在“NewsNation Live”节目中告诉主持人劳拉·英格尔(Laura Ingle):“简单的回答是,伊朗显然参与其中,但当然,此事将接受调查并最终定性。”英国当局周日逮捕了五名涉嫌策划袭击皇家空军费尔福德基地(RAF Fairford)的男子。该基地位于英格兰西南部,由英国拥有、美国运营。
“The simple answer is that clearly Iran was involved, but of course that is going to be investigated and determined,” Cammack told Laura Ingle on “NewsNation Live.” British authorities on Sunday arrested five men suspected of plotting an attack on RAF Fairford, a base located in southwest England that the U.K. owns and U.S. operates. London Metropolitan Police said authorities received a call early Sunday morning local time regarding three suspicious vehicles traveling toward the base, as reported by The Associated Press. The nationalities of the arrested men are not public knowledge.
据美联社报道,伦敦大都会警察局表示,当地周日清晨接到报警,称有三辆可疑车辆正驶向该基地。被捕人员的国籍尚未公开。
American forces have launched strikes against Iranian missile sites from the base. Cammack noted that on Sunday, telling Ingle the base is the “forward deployment area of our assets” engaged in the Iran war.
美军曾从该基地对伊朗导弹阵地发动打击。坎马克周日指出,该基地是参与对伊战争的“我方资产前沿部署区”。

这位佛罗里达州议员补充道:“因此,有理由认为,伊朗通过其哈马斯和真主党等代理人网络,很可能在这一战线上进行了协调。因为伊朗一直公开表示,他们已准备好迎接更多对抗,并且他们历来通过恐怖网络行动,而非正面应对威胁。”
“So it stands to reason that through the proxy network that Iran has of Hamas and Hezbollah, that they probably were in coordination on this front because as Iran has been very publicly saying, they are ready for more confrontation and they have always operated through their terror networks rather than facing threats head on,” the Florida lawmaker added.
特朗普总统周日赞扬了英国当局逮捕这些嫌疑人的行动,称其政府与“大洋彼岸”的 counterparts(对应部门)“进行了合作”。
President Trump on Sunday praised U.K. authorities for arresting the men, saying his government “worked with” its counterparts across the pond.
据NewsNation的利比·迪恩(Libbey Dean)报道,总统在芝加哥对记者表示:“他们企图对我们的堡垒造成重大破坏,与英国方面的合作非常成功。……我们监视了他们很长时间,并成功将其抓获。”
“They were looking to do big damage to our fort and working with the British worked out great. … We had them under view for a long time and we got ‘em,” the president told reporters in Chicago, according to NewsNation’s Libbey Dean. Cammack also called the arrests a “testament to the relationship” between the U.S. and U.K., adding she was “grateful” for service members at the base and law enforcement officers for taking a “proactive” stance.
坎马克还将此次逮捕行动称为美英“关系的见证”,并表示她“感激”基地内的服役人员以及采取“主动”立场的执法人员。
