副总统万斯周六声称,在“某些方面”美国已经“决定性地”赢得了对伊朗的战争。
Vice President Vance claimed Saturday that in “some ways” the United States has “decisively won” its war against Iran.
“我可以说在某些方面,我们已经决定性地获胜,但他们——伊朗人,敌人在这里有投票权,并且他们以某种方式作出了回应。因此,稍微退后一点,美国总统为何这样做?”万斯在CBS新闻主持人托尼·多科皮尔的市政厅节目中表示。
“I would say in some ways, we have won decisively, but they're — the Iranians, the enemy gets a vote here, and they have responded in certain ways. And so, to step back a little bit, why did the president of the United States do this?”Vance told CBS News’s Tony Dokoupil in a town hall.
“美国总统这样做是因为他认为这非常重要,我认为他是对的,我认为这里的大多数人会同意,即使他们不同意该政策的所有具体细节,也要说伊朗——世界上最大的恐怖主义国家赞助国——不能拥有核武器。”万斯补充道。
“The president of the United States did this because he believes it is very important, and I think he's right, I think most people here would agree, even if they don't agree with all the particulars of the policy, to say Iran, the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, cannot have a nuclear weapon,” the vice president added.
万斯的言论是在中期选举前几周发表的,届时他及其政党将面临艰难的政治形势,其中包括不受欢迎的伊朗战争。
Vance’s comments come only a few weeks out from the midterms, in which he and his party are facing rough political territory with issues including the unpopular war in Iran.
