伊朗正规军发言人周三表示，为应对与美国的战争，武装部队已做好实施先发制人打击的准备。与此同时，伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队高层宣称已牢牢掌控霍尔木兹海峡，而华盛顿方面则对伊朗文职领导层的实际权力范围提出质疑。
Iran's army spokesman said on Wednesday that the armed forces were prepared to carry out pre-emptive strikes in the war against the US, as senior IRGC figures claimed tighter control over the Strait of Hormuz and Washington questioned how much authority Iran's civilian leadership actually holds.
“若形势所需，我们将采取先发制人的行动，以阻止敌人实施任何侵略或入侵行为，”伊朗正规军发言人、准将穆罕默德·阿克拉米-尼亚对官方通讯社IRNA说道。
"Should circumstances require it, we will conduct pre-emptive operations down the line in order to prevent the enemy from committing any act of aggression or intrusion," spokesman for Iran's regular army Brigadier General Mohammad Akrami-Nia told the state-run IRNA news agency.
另据报道，尽管美国海军对这条战略要道实施了封锁，但革命卫队官员仍坚称霍尔木兹海峡完全处于德黑兰控制之下。
IRGC officials separately said Hormuz was firmly in Tehran's hands, despite a parallel US naval blockade of the vital waterway.
“霍尔木兹海峡现已被封锁，武装部队对其拥有完全控制权。这一状态将持续到伊朗的合法诉求得到满足为止，”革命卫队高级顾问、准将穆罕默德·礼萨·纳格迪在媒体采访中说道。
"The Strait of Hormuz is closed and the armed forces have full control over it, and this situation will continue until Iran's legitimate demands are met," Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, a senior IRGC adviser, said in a media interview.
他称，部分船只正利用小型船只将石油偷运至海峡中的大型油轮上。
He claimed that some vessels were using small boats to smuggle oil through the strait to larger tankers.
“很快，那些违规者通过炸毁海峡内部分岩礁通道而开辟的少数几条路线也将被彻底封锁，”纳格迪补充道。
"Soon, a small number of the routes that violators have created by blasting and destroying some of the existing rocky passages in the Strait of Hormuz will be blocked," Naqdi said.
另一位革命卫队顾问、准将阿米拉赫马迪指出，国际机构记录显示，目前平均每天约有10艘船只通过霍尔木兹海峡，而在2月28日美以两国对伊朗发动袭击引发战争之前，这一数字接近125艘。
A second IRGC adviser, Brigadier General Amirahmadi, said international bodies had recorded an average of around 10 ships per day transiting the strait, against nearly 125 before the war that began with US-Israeli strikes on Iran on 28 February.
“这些船只大多是在获得伊朗伊斯兰共和国许可后，才得以沿指定航线通过该海峡的，”他说道。
"These ships are mainly those that pass through the waterway and designated route with the permission of the Islamic Republic of Iran," he said.
华盛顿对伊朗当局的权威性存疑。伊朗总统马苏德·佩泽希齐扬周三在讲话中表示，政府正在开展谈判，同时也面临着他所称的“全方位的战争”。“我们以尊严与力量的姿态发声，与此同时也在全力推行抵抗与坚韧的战略计划，”佩泽希齐扬说道。
Washington questions Iranian authorities Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian said in a speech on Wednesday that the government was engaged in negotiations while simultaneously facing what he called "an all-out war on every front." "We speak from a position of dignity and power, and at the same time we are vigorously pursuing a programme of resistance and resilience," Pezeshkian said.
针对国内严重的电力短缺问题，他表示必要时政府将关闭体育及文化中心以降低用电量。
On the country's severe electricity shortages, he said the government would close sports and cultural centres if necessary to reduce consumption.
万斯证实，华盛顿方面已与佩泽希齐扬及外长阿巴斯·阿拉格希举行会谈，但他指出目前尚不清楚这两人在伊朗的权力体系中究竟拥有多大实权。
Vance, confirming that Washington had held talks with Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, said it was unclear how much authority the two men wielded within Iran's power structure.
“我们注意到的一个情况是，伊朗的决策机制目前尚不完全明朗，”万斯在阿拉斯加州的一场竞选活动后对路透社说道。
"One of the things we picked up on is it's not totally clear how their country makes decisions," Vance told Reuters after a campaign event in Alaska.
他表示，美国的首要目标是阻止伊朗获得核武器，并建议德黑兰应在核浓缩领域采取切实举措，以证明其并无制造核武器的意图。“我认为，如果伊朗真想表明自己无意制造核武器，就应当在核浓缩能力方面采取有意义的行动，”万斯说道。
He said the main US objective was to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear arms and suggested Tehran should take a concrete step on enrichment to demonstrate it was not seeking one. "I think if they want to show a commitment to not building a nuclear weapon, they would do something meaningful on their enrichment capacity," Vance said.
周二在马里兰州发表讲话时，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普称伊朗“已不再是霸凌者”，并声称美国完全掌控霍尔木兹海峡。“他们曾是中东地区的霸凌者，如今已不再如此了，但我们必须彻底解决问题。现在只是选择以何种方式实现目标的问题——是用温和手段还是强硬手段。很快大家就会知道结果，”他说道。
Speaking in Maryland on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump said Iran was "no longer such a bully" and claimed full US control over the strait. "They were the bully of the Middle East. They're not so much the bully anymore, but we have to finish up. And it's only a question of which way do we want to do it, the nice way or the not-so-nice way. And pretty soon you'll find out," he said.
特朗普多次对伊朗的决策层提出质疑，呼吁“更换伊朗领导层”；他还称今年3月刚被任命为最高领袖、至今仍未公开露面的穆杰塔巴·哈梅内伊是“一个病入膏肓的人”。
Trump has repeatedly questioned its decision-makers, calling for "new leadership in Iran," and said the new Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei — who still has not made a single public appearance since he was appointed supreme leader in March — was "a sick man".
不过，在6月份的一期播客中，特朗普暗示如今实际掌权的是哈梅内伊的儿子。“据说他负责批准各项决策，因为长期以来一直如此，”这位美国总统说道。
However, in a June podcast, Trump suggested the younger Khamenei is in charge. "They say he is giving approval, because that's the way it has been for a long, long time," the US president said.
