美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周六表示，关于伊朗的决定可能即将出炉，警告德黑兰将面临“容易的方式或艰难的方式”，因为他的政府正在权衡对伊斯兰共和国的下一步行动。
US President Donald Trump on Saturday signalled that a decision on Iran could be imminent, warning that Tehran would face either "the easy way or the hard way" as his administration weighs its next steps towards the Islamic Republic.
在离开白宫前往俄亥俄州为共和党候选人助选、为11月中期选举造势前，特朗普对记者表示，他正在权衡对伊朗的下一步行动。“我们有一个关于伊朗的决定由我来做，”特朗普说。
Speaking to reporters before departing the White House for Ohio to campaign for Republican candidates ahead of the November midterm elections, Trump said he was weighing his next steps on Iran." We have a decision that I'll make about Iran," Trump said." Iran's been decimated.
“伊朗已遭重创。所以唯一的问题是，要么走容易的路，要么走艰难的路。”
So the only question is, it'll either be the easy way or the hard way.
“我们要么用简单的方式，要么用困难的方式解决。”特朗普没有详细说明他在考虑什么决定，但他的言论正值外界越来越多地猜测华盛顿正在审视军事和外交选项，以防与德黑兰的紧张局势再次升级。总统还声称伊朗正在放弃获取核武器的任何努力。“伊朗实际上已放弃拥有核武器的任何计划，”特朗普说。戴维营会谈助长猜测特朗普的言论发表于《Axios》报道其国家安全高层顾问在戴维营会晤、讨论美国对伊朗政策选项以及也门沙特-胡塞冲突升级的第二天。
We'll have it the easy or the hard way." Trump did not elaborate on what decision he was considering, but his remarks come amid growing speculation that Washington is reviewing military and diplomatic options should tensions with Tehran escalate again. The president also claimed that Iran was backing away from any effort to acquire a nuclear weapon." Iran is virtually giving up any plans to have a nuclear weapon," Trump said.CAMP DAVID TALKS FUEL SPECULATIONTrump's comments came a day after Axios reported that his top national security advisers met at Camp David to discuss US policy options on Iran as well as the escalating Saudi-Houthi conflict in Yemen.
讨论加剧了外界对政府是否可能考虑恢复军事行动的猜测，前提是外交手段无法打破与德黑兰的僵局。尽管正在进行旨在恢复华盛顿与德黑兰谈判的调解努力，但最新事态发展依然出现，此前该地区经历了数月的冲突和动荡。伊朗为可能重燃冲突做准备与此同时，据伊朗官员和一位知情人士向路透社透露，伊朗一直在制定应急计划，以防美国恢复大规模军事行动。
The discussions have intensified speculation over whether the administration could consider renewed military action if diplomacy fails to break the deadlock with Tehran. The latest developments come despite ongoing mediation efforts aimed at reviving negotiations between Washington and Tehran following months of conflict and instability across the region.IRAN PREPARES FOR POSSIBLE RENEWED CONFLICTIran, meanwhile, has been preparing contingency plans in case the United States resumes large-scale military operations, according to Iranian officials and a source familiar with internal deliberations who spoke to Reuters.
这种筹备反映出伊朗领导层日益认为，任何未来的美国军事行动都应遭遇比今年早些时候冲突中更强有力的回应。据消息人士称，伊朗高级指挥官已审议了将潜在打击目标扩大到美方相关资产之外的选项，并可能包括支持美军行动的国家。伊朗官员继续通过外交努力防止新的对抗，尽管一些人私下承认取得突破的机会依然渺茫。
The planning reflects a growing belief within Iran's leadership that any future US military campaign should be met with a stronger response than the one launched during the conflict earlier this year. Senior Iranian commanders have reviewed options that would broaden potential targets beyond US-linked assets and could include countries supporting American military operations, according to the sources. Iranian officials are continuing diplomatic efforts to prevent a fresh confrontation, although some privately acknowledge that the chances of a breakthrough remain slim.CONFLICT BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 28The current tensions trace back to the conflict that began on February 28, when US and Israeli strikes triggered a war that lasted 40 days before a ceasefire took effect on April 8.
冲突始于2月28日目前的紧张局势可追溯到2月28日爆发的冲突，当时美以空袭引发了一场这场冲突持续了40天，直到4月8日停火生效。虽然停火结束了大规模敌对行动，但此后几个月零星冲突和地区紧张局势仍在持续。特朗普的最新言论可能会加剧外界对华盛顿下一步行动的关注，特别是在政府权衡针对德黑兰的军事、外交和经济选项之际，地区局势日益动荡。——结束 据路透社报道
While the truce ended large-scale hostilities, clashes and regional tensions have continued intermittently in the months since. Trump's latest remarks are likely to intensify scrutiny of Washington's next move, particularly as the administration weighs military, diplomatic and economic options against Tehran amid an increasingly volatile regional landscape.- EndsWith inputs from Reuters
