随着特朗普政府权衡伊朗战争的后续步骤，政府内部至少有一些人担心伊朗会考虑采取行动，在中期选举前损害总统的利益。
As the Trump administration weighs next steps in the Iran war, at least some in the administration worry that Iran will consider taking action to damage the president ahead of the midterms.
一位特朗普政府官员告诉 Semafor：“我认为他们可能想在中期选举前让总统感到痛苦，这是一种真正的可能性，所以他们可能会在未来几周内采取行动。我们拭目以待。”政府高层官员周五在戴维营就中东冲突举行了会议，随着也门沙特支持的政府与伊朗支持的胡塞武装之间爆发战争，这场冲突有扩大的威胁。
“I think that’s a real possibility that they may want to inflict some pain on the president before the midterms, and so they may do something in the next couple weeks,” one Trump administration official told Semafor. “We’ll see.”Top administration officials met at Camp David on Friday on the Middle East conflict, which threatens to widen as war breaks out between Yemen’s Saudi-backed government and the Iranian-backed Houthis.
此次会议召开之际，华盛顿与德黑兰之间的间接谈判尚未取得实质性进展。与此同时，在逮捕了涉嫌恐怖袭击阴谋的嫌疑人后，美国已从英国的一个用于对伊朗发动空袭的空军基地撤走了所有 B-1 轰炸机。
The meeting came as indirect talks between Washington and Tehran have yet to yield meaningful progress. Meanwhile, the US has removed all B-1 bombers from an airbase in the UK used for launching strikes against Iran, following arrests in a suspected terror attack plot. — Shelby Talcott
