美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周三表示，美国可以立即结束与伊朗的战争，但希望确保结果持久。
US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the United States could end its war with Iran now but wants to ensure that the outcome is lasting.
“很快就会结束。我们现在就能离开，但我们要确保它持续很长时间，”特朗普在南卡罗来纳州的一次集会上说。
“It’ll end very soon. We could leave now, but we want to make sure it lasts for a long time,” Trump said at a rally in South Carolina.
他声称美国在军事和财政上击败了伊朗，并补充说德黑兰“永远不会拥有核武器”。
He claimed the US had defeated Iran militarily and financially, adding that Tehran would “never have a nuclear weapon.”
特朗普还表示，美国在霍尔木兹海峡实施了封锁，他称之为“特朗普海峡”。“我们改了墨西哥湾的名字。为什么我们不能改霍尔木兹海峡的名字？”他补充道。
Trump also said the US has a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, which he called the “Trump Strait.”“We changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico. Why can't we change the name of the Hormuz Strait?” he added.
他的言论之际，《纽约时报》报道称，美国和以色列军方已制定在美中期选举后重新打击伊朗的计划，援引美国官员和其他知情人士的消息。
His remarks came as The New York Times reported that the US and Israeli militaries have developed plans for renewed strikes on Iran after the US midterm elections, citing US officials and others briefed on the deliberations.
报道称，特朗普是否会批准这些打击远未确定，并指出他今年已多次否决重返大规模战斗的计划。
The report said it is far from certain that Trump will approve the strikes, noting that he has repeatedly vetoed plans to return to major combat this year.
一名白宫官员告诉《纽约时报》，政府不评论“可能存在也可能不存在”的军事计划。美国和以色列于2月28日对伊朗发动战争，促使德黑兰在该地区发动导弹和无人机袭击并有效封锁了霍尔木兹海峡，这是全球能源供应的关键航道。
A White House official told the Times that the administration does not comment on military plans “that may or may not exist.”The US and Israel launched a war against Iran on Feb. 28, prompting Tehran to respond with missile and drone attacks in the region and effectively close the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global energy supplies.
在巴基斯坦和卡塔尔斡旋下，美国和伊朗于6月签署的一份谅解备忘录此后因分歧而陷入停滞，分歧包括海峡航行问题。
A memorandum of understanding signed in June by the US and Iran following Pakistani and Qatari mediation has since stalled amid disagreements, including over navigation in the strait.
