特朗普总统周四表示，美国军方在中期选举前不会对伊朗发动打击，并声称政府正在与伊斯兰共和国进行“富有成效的讨论”。
President Trump said on Thursday that the U.S. military will not launch strikes against Iran before the midterm elections, claiming the administration is having “productive discussions” with the Islamic Republic.
“我想向所有人明确说明，尽管伊朗在经济和军事上都处于非常糟糕的境地，而且封锁将继续全面生效，石油仍将以创纪录的桶数通过霍尔木兹海峡流动（仅昨晚就有2200万桶，其中没有一桶来自或运往伊朗！），但在11月3日美国举行中期选举之前，我们绝不会在任何时候攻击伊朗，”总统在Truth Social上的一篇帖子中写道。“伊朗不会拥有核武器，”特朗普补充道。
“I want to make it clear to everybody that, while Iran is in very bad condition, both Economically and Militarily, and while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, with Oil flowing in Record Numbers of Barrels through the Hormuz Strait (22 Million Barrels, last night alone, with not one barrel coming from, or going to, Iran!), we will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the Midterm Elections to be held in the United States on November 3rd,” the president wrote in a post on Truth Social. “IRAN WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON,” Trump added.
这篇帖子发布之际，总统正在权衡是否要在11月选举前恢复大规模军事行动。

《大西洋》杂志周三报道称，白宫已要求五角大楼制定针对伊朗目标的打击方案，以便在中期选举前实施。白宫表示，特朗普对应对伊朗问题的下一步行动拥有“所有选项”。
The White House asked the Pentagon to develop strike options against Iranian targets that could be exercised before the midterms, The Atlantic reported on Wednesday The White House said Trump has “all options” available on what the next steps are on Iran.
“总司令随时拥有所有选项，”一位白宫官员周四早些时候对《国会山报》表示。“美国在控制霍尔木兹海峡和伊朗经济崩溃的情况下，处于非常有利的位置。”“伊朗已被重创，局势将朝两个方向发展：要么轻松解决，要么艰难应对。特朗普总统手握所有主动权，并将采取对美国最有利的行动，”该官员说。随着战争进入第七个月，美国与伊朗的外交进展陷入停滞。
“The Commander-in-Chief has all options available at any time,” a White House official told The Hill earlier on Thursday. “The United States is in a very strong position with control of the Strait of Hormuz and the Iranian economy collapsing.”“Iran has been decimated, and things will go one of two ways; the easy way or the hard way. President Trump holds all the cards and will do whatever is best for the United States,” the official said. The U.S. and Iran’s diplomatic progress has stalled as the war reached well into its seventh month.
由于特朗普政府持续实施经济施压行动和阿拉伯海的海上封锁，德黑兰正面临经济压力。但伊朗军队仍继续袭击试图通过霍尔木兹海峡的商业油轮，扰乱能源出口。

The Pentagon dispatched over 4,000 Marines and sailors aboard three warships, led by USS Makin Island, a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship, to Centcom theater.
“西奥多·罗斯福”号（USS Theodore Roosevelt）“尼米兹”级航空母舰正驶向中东，以接替“乔治·华盛顿”号（USS George Washington）。在11月选举前，有关对伊朗发动打击的报道也导致油价飙升。
The USS Theodore Roosevelt, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, is sailing toward the Middle East to relieve the USS George Washington. Oil prices also surged amid reports of Iran strikes before the November elections.
