特朗普总统周二表示，伊朗战争对美国人造成的财务成本是为了确保美国安全而值得付出的代价。
President Trump suggested Tuesday that the financial cost of the Iran war to Americans is a price worth paying to keep the U.S. safe.
为什么重要：特朗普的言论引发了强烈反对，但联邦政府多年来一直在帮助美国高风险城市地区检测可能用于袭击的放射性和核材料。
Why it matters: Trump's comments ignited backlash, but the federal government has spent years helping high-risk U.S. urban areas detect radiological and nuclear materials that could be used in an attack.
推动新闻：在周二晚上的内布拉斯加州集会上，特朗普似乎辩称，伊朗战争导致的成本上升只是“为维护世界安全、维护我们国家安全而付出的一个小小的代价。"
Driving the news: During his Nebraska rally Tuesday night, Trump appeared to argue that rising costs due to the Iran war represent "a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe."
他说：“为了确保世界安全、确保我们国家安全，这只是一个小小的代价。”“他们可以摧毁一座城市。让他们拿下，让它--让他们拿下洛杉矶。让他们拿下圣地亚哥。这是--这是一个非常小的代价，而且很快就会结束。"
"It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe," he said. "They can take out a city. Let them take, let it — let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. That's — this is a very small price to pay, and it's gonna be over very soon."
特朗普政府的一个账户在X上发帖称，这场战争的目的是“阻止伊朗有能力消灭洛杉矶和圣地亚哥。“大局：联邦政府维持应急计划，以应对全国范围内的恐怖袭击和灾难。
A Trump administration account posted on X that the war is meant to "STOP Iran from having the ability to take out LA and San Diego." The big picture: The federal government maintains contingency plans to respond to terrorist attacks and disasters nationwide.
但国土安全部的城市安全计划更进一步，为一些高风险大都市地区提供了专门的能力，以在发生袭击时保护自己。
But the Department of Homeland Security's Securing the Cities program goes a step further by giving some high-risk metro areas specialized capabilities to protect themselves in case of an attack.
美国如何保护城市如何运作：国土安全部的STP计划概述了13个地区，涵盖14个需要保护免受袭击的高风险城市地区。
How the U.S. protects cities How it works: DHS' STC program outlines 13 regions covering 14 high-risk urban areas that need protection from attacks.
据美国政府问责局称，它主要是帮助州和地方机构“检测可能用于”恐怖袭击的放射性和核材料。
It primarily acts to help state and local agencies "detect radiological and nuclear materials that could be used" in terrorist attacks, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
该计划始于2007年，是纽约市/泽西市/纽瓦克地区的试点计划，后来扩大。根据国土安全部的一份声明，国土安全部反大规模杀伤性武器办公室负责运营该办公室，并“协调和管理特定地区化学、生物、放射性、核和健康安全威胁的检测工作”。
The program began in 2007 as a pilot program for the New York City/Jersey City/Newark region before later expanding. The DHS' Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office runs it and "coordinates and manages the detection effort for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and health security threats" in specific regions, per a DHS statement.
从数字上看：到2023年，国土安全部将向STC地区提供3亿美元，帮助他们购买辐射探测器，培训官员并建立系统，以发现可能用于攻击的潜在放射性或核材料。国土安全部资助核探测的地方国土安全部的计划包括：纽约市/泽西市-纽瓦克、洛杉矶/长滩、华盛顿特区和国家首都地区。休斯顿、芝加哥、亚特兰大、波士顿、丹佛、迈阿密、新奥尔良。西雅图旧金山湾区凤凰城/马里科帕县。
By the numbers: DHS has given $300 million to the STC regions through 2023 to help them buy radiation detectors, train officers and build systems for spotting potential radioactive or nuclear material that could be used in an attack. Where DHS funds nuclear detection The DHS program covers: New York City/Jersey City-Newark, Los Angeles/Long Beach, Washington, D.C. and the national capital region. Houston, Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, Denver, Miami, New Orleans. Phoenix/Maricopa County, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle.
UATI评估人口规模、威胁、脆弱性和恐怖主义的后果以选择其地点。
UASI assesses population size, threats, vulnerabilities and the consequences of terrorism to select its locations.
字里行间：将一座城市列为高风险城市并不一定意味着国土安全部认为那里即将发生袭击。政府考虑该地区的脆弱程度以及袭击的严重程度。
Between the lines: Naming a city as high-risk doesn't necessarily mean the DHS thinks an attack is imminent there. The government considers how vulnerable the region is and how severe an attack would be.
闪回：美国政府问责局2010年的一份核恐怖主义报告类似地描述了遭受袭击的高或中等风险的城市。
Flashback: A GAO nuclear terrorism report from 2010 similarly described cities that were at high or medium risk for an attack.
其他联邦威胁准备计划缩小：国土安全部和CWMD还有一个名为BioWatch的生物制剂准备计划，该计划帮助“至少30个大都市地区做好应对生物威胁的准备。
Other federal threat-preparedness programs Zoom out: The DHS and CWMD also have a biological-agent preparedness program called BioWatch, which aids "at least 30 metropolitan areas prepare to respond to biological threats.
该计划使用“检测、通知、准备和规划的结合”来帮助市、州、地方和联邦官员为袭击做好准备。
The program uses "a combination of detection, notification, preparedness, and planning" to help city, state, local and federal officials prepare for an attack.
