美国人请忽略那些争夺选票的媒体和政客，请看看几个事实？唐纳德·J·特朗普总统不仅在强化美国；通过他在中东、印太地区和西半球基本不妥协的政策，他一直在捍卫西方文明、自由世界，并最终维护全球和平。
Americans, please ignore the media outlets and the politicians scrambling for votes. Instead, kindly look at a few facts? President Donald J. Trump has not only been strengthening America; through his basically unyielding policies in the Middle East, the Indo-Pacific and the Western Hemisphere, he has been safeguarding Western civilization, the free world, and ultimately global peace.
首先，请考虑特朗普从中国手中夺回巴拿马运河、解放委内瑞拉、以和平方式确保格陵兰岛以保护西半球，特别是他持续承诺确保伊朗伊斯兰共和国永远不会拥有核武器。请想一想，否则它将能对任何美国（或欧洲）城市做什么：波士顿、迈阿密、华盛顿、纽约……多年来，伊朗政权一直在逼近拥有核武器。在时任总统巴拉克·奥巴马2015年的《全面协议》（JCPOA）“核协议”及其日落条款下，伊朗政权从去年10月开始就已经可以合法拥有任意数量的核武器。
First, please consider Trump's having rescued the Panama Canal from China, liberated Venezuela, peacefully secured Greenland to protect the Western hemisphere, and especially his ongoing commitment to ensure that the Islamic Republic of Iran will never possess a nuclear weapon. Think for a minute what it otherwise will be able to do to any American (or European) city: Boston, Miami, Washington, New York.... For years, Iran's regime has been closing in on having nuclear weapons. Under then President Barack Obama's 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) "nuclear deal" and its sunset clauses, Iran's regime could already legitimately have as many nuclear weapons as it liked – beginning last October.
去年紧急评估显示，伊朗政权距离完成11枚核弹不到两周。这就是自1979年建政以来公开高呼“美国去死”、寻求“输出伊斯兰革命”、如今试图在美国扎根的伊朗政权。这就是一直在其版本的沙里亚法治下成功建立全球乌玛（民族/共同体）的伊朗，正如伊朗伊斯兰共和国创始人霍梅尼大阿亚图拉所描述的那样：我们将把革命输出到全世界。
Urgent assessments last year appeared that Iran's regime stood less than two weeks away from completing 11 nuclear bombs. This is the same Iranian regime that, since its founding in 1979, has openly been chanting "Death to America" and seeking to "Export the Islamic Revolution," now trying to entrench itself in the US. This is the same Iran that has been successfully establishing a global ummah [nation] under its version of Sharia rule, and create conditions in which, as the Islamic Republic of Iran's founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini framed it:
直到“除安拉外，绝无应受崇拜的神”这一呼喊在全世界回荡之前，斗争将永不停止。伊朗政权已经瞄准并袭击了甚至不是其主要冲突一方的国家。若伊朗拥有核武器，它将几乎不遇阻力地试图不仅抹去以色列，还要抹去欧洲以及其他任何国家。正如特朗普总统所说，如果伊朗拥有核武器，它将毫无疑义地使用它。
"We shall export our revolution to the whole world. Until the cry 'There is no god but Allah' resounds over the whole world, there will be struggle." Iran's regime has already targeted and attacked countries not even parties to its main conflict. A nuclear-armed Iran would have faced little pushback in attempting to wipe not only Israel but also Europe and anyone else off the map. As President Trump put it, if Iran had a nuclear weapon, it would, "without question," use it.
特朗普总统不同于其他七位总统，他不仅仅是说说而已——他付诸了行动。通过其政府持续的经济压力、军事行动以及拒绝接受政权惯用的拖延策略，伊朗的核设施已被显著削弱，且未来可能还有更多行动。
President Trump, unlike seven other presidents, did not just talk -- he acted. Through his administration's sustained economic pressure, military operations and a refusal to accept the regime's usual stalling, Iran's nuclear infrastructure has been significantly degraded, with the possibility of more on the way.
防止一个高呼“美国去死”“以色列去死”的革命神权政权获得核武器，堪称当今时代最具重大意义的国家安全成就。曾经把伊朗的每一次进展都视为必然趋势的媒体，如今却视而不见，反而指责现任政府导致消费品价格大幅上涨——而这些价格上涨很大程度上是前任政府造成的。据《华盛顿邮报》专栏作家马克·蒂森所言，指望反对党来降低汽油价格，就如同指望纵火犯去扑灭自己点燃的大火。
Preventing a revolutionary theocracy that chants "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" from obtaining nuclear arms is arguably the most consequential national security achievements of the era. The media that once treated every Iranian advance as inevitable now looks away and reproaches the administration for higher consumer prices that were largely put there by his predecessor. Expecting the opposition party to lower gas prices, according to Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen, is like expecting the arsonist to put out the fire he started.
他指出，如果现在你觉得汽油价格已经很贵了，那是因为反对党一直试图淘汰化石燃料，结果造成了供应短缺，进而推高了价格。[来源：福克斯商业新闻，“库德洛”栏目，2026年10月7日]其次，经济制裁产生了显著效果。伊朗里亚尔币值大幅暴跌。按自由市场汇率计算，1美元可兑换约260万至270万里亚尔，伊朗里亚尔堪称全球贬值最严重的货币之一。
If you think gasoline is expensive now, he noted, the other party has been trying to eliminate fossil fuels, thereby producing a scarcity that raises prices. [source, Fox Business news, "Kudlow," October 7, 2026] Second, economic pressure has bitten hard. The Iranian rial has collapsed in value. On free-market rates, the dollar has traded near 2.6 million to 2.7 million rials—among the most devalued currencies on the planet.
与特朗普重新上任时的水平相比，伊朗的通货膨胀率也急剧上升。面对这一局面，伊朗政权采取的措施是加强国内安全管控并增设检查站，显然是担心经济困境会引发更多社会动荡。特朗普实施的“极限施压”策略——包括制裁、执法行动以及切断伊朗的收入来源——已使该政权无法获得所需资源来推进其核计划、支持恐怖组织及代理人，也无法维持国内局势的稳定。
Compare that to the level when Trump returned to office. Inflation since then in Iran has soared. The regime's response has been: increased internal security measures and checkpoints, apparently reflecting fear that economic despair might spark more unrest. Trump's maximum-pressure approach—sanctions, enforcement, and denial of revenue streams—has starved the regime of the resources it needs to fund its nuclear and terrorist-proxy ambitions as well as to buy domestic quiet.
第三，伊朗原本引以为傲的常规军事力量也遭受重创。其空军几乎全军覆没，海军力量同样遭到毁灭性打击——大量舰船被摧毁或丧失作战能力。大范围地区的防空系统也遭到破坏。目前仍能正常运作的军事力量主要依赖无人机与弹道导弹。重建现代化的空军与海军力量需要大量资金、时间、技术以及工业能力，而这些正是一个遭受制裁、陷入孤立状态的政权所不具备的。
Third, Iran's once-touted conventional forces have been decimated. Its air force has been effectively eliminated. Its naval assets have collapsed—scores of vessels destroyed or disabled. Air-defense systems have been degraded across wide areas. What remains functional centers largely on drones and ballistic missiles. Rebuilding modern air and naval power requires money, time, technology, and an industrial capacity that a sanctioned, isolated regime does not possess.
第四，此前从未有任何一位美国总统或世界领导人能够促成以色列、美国与各主要阿拉伯国家之间形成如此紧密的务实合作关系，而这种合作在特朗普第二任期内仍在持续并不断深化。《亚伯拉罕协议》框架最初由他在第一任期内促成，如今展现出强大的生命力与发展势头。其中阿联酋与以色列的关系尤为密切，双方在安全、经济及外交领域的合作令德黑兰极为恼怒。
Fourth, no previous American president or world leader engineered the degree of practical alignment between Israel, America and key Arab states that have so far continued and expanded under Trump's second term. The Abraham Accords framework—originally forged in his first term—has shown resilience and renewed momentum. UAE-Israel ties in particular have deepened, producing security, economic, and diplomatic cooperation that enrages Tehran.
伊朗官员与神职人员以最严厉的言辞谴责这些关系，视其为对“阿拉伯与以色列永远处于敌对状态”这一政权宣传叙事的重大威胁。
Iranian officials and clerics have denounced these relationships in the strongest terms, as strategic threats to the regime's narrative of permanent Arab-Israeli hostility.
第五，特朗普对以色列的支持有效削弱了哈马斯与真主党的实力。自10月7日事件发生后，特朗普始终坚定支持以色列人民，这一立场虽付出了一定代价，却切实遏制了伊朗最重要的地区代理人势力。若以色列能与秉持务实立场的阿拉伯国家携手应对伊朗的扩张野心，中东地区对美国及其盟友而言也将更为安全。以往各届政府虽也提及“重新平衡地区力量”，但唯有本届政府真正改变了现实局势。
Fifth, Trump's support for Israel has contributed to significant degradation of Hamas and Hezbollah capabilities. Standing with the Israeli people after October 7 and through subsequent campaigns has not been cost-free, but it has constrained Iran's most important regional proxies. A Middle East in which Israel and pragmatic Arab states coordinate more closely against Iranian expansion is a safer region for the United States and its allies. Previous administrations talked about "rebalancing;" this one has actually altered "facts on the ground."
那些执意要阻挠特朗普任何建设性政策的人，非但不将其视为美国的胜利，反而视其为自身的失败，认为这会损害自己的当选前景。因此他们不得不将特朗普的成就歪曲为灾难，以此加以抨击与反对。
Those determined to defeat even the most constructive policies of President Trump -- rather than seeing them as a win for Americans -- appear to see any victory of his as a defeat for themselves, threatening their chances of being elected. They have to reframe his achievements as catastrophes to criticize and oppose.
简而言之，短短两年内，特朗普成功遏制了可能拥有核武器的伊朗的扩张势头，推动了以色列与阿拉伯国家的合作，还削弱了伊朗的恐怖组织势力。这些成果不仅有效化解了近半个世纪以来对地区稳定的威胁，更通过影响石油市场与地缘政治格局削弱了俄罗斯与中国的实力，维护了西方利益，为自由世界的存续提供了保障。
In short, Trump has been neutralizing a potentially nuclear-armed, revolutionary Iran; trying to strengthen the Israel-Arab alignment; and sidelining Iran's terrorist proxies. These accomplishments in just two years represent a triumph in rolling back a nearly half-century threat not only to regional stability but also -- through oil and geographic realignment -- weakening Russia and China, reclaiming Western interests, and rescuing the survival of the Free World.
至少在这方面，特朗普总统理应得到一句轻声的感谢，而非无休止的敌意。因此：谢谢您，总统先生。别理会那些恶意诋毁者。事关美国国家安全、以色列与西方文明的存续、全球和平，以及防止核灾难落入一个具有救世主情结的政权手中——这些问题的重要性不容被当作无关紧要的琐事来对待。
For that, at a minimum, President Trump deserves at least a small, semi-audible thank you rather than unremitting hostility. So: Thank you, Mr. President. Ignore the haters. The stakes — American national security, the survival of Israel and Western civilization, global peace, and the prevention of nuclear catastrophe in the hands of a messianic regime — are too crucial to be bent into distractions.
