以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡周三表示，他已指示以色列国防军、摩萨德及其他安全部门致力于推翻伊朗政权，称这是彻底消除德黑兰核威胁的唯一途径。
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that he had directed the Israel Defense Forces, Mossad and other security branches to pursue the overthrow of the Iranian regime, calling it the only way to eliminate the nuclear threat from Tehran.
“只有一种方法能彻底消除这一威胁：推翻伊朗政权。这就是我对以色列国防军、摩萨德和安全部门的指示，”内塔尼亚胡在以色列国防军军官课程毕业典礼上表示。
“There is only one way to remove this threat once and for all: overthrow the regime in Iran. And that is my directive to the IDF, the Mossad and the security branches,” Netanyahu told an IDF officer course graduation ceremony.
“只要他们还在，只要他们企图获取可怕的武器，以色列国就面临生存威胁，”内塔尼亚胡说。“而我们的责任，我们所有人的责任，是拯救国家。”内塔尼亚胡称，伊朗在“狮子崛起”行动后重启了核计划，试图将项目深埋于山腹之下。他表示，这促使以美联合发动了“狮子咆哮”行动，其首轮打击击毙了阿里·哈梅内伊。
“As long as they are here, as long as they strive to acquire horrific weapons, the State of Israel faces an existential threat,” Netanyahu said. “And our duty, the duty of all of us, is to save the nation.”Netanyahu said Iran had resumed its nuclear program after Operation Rising Lion, seeking to bury the project deep beneath a mountain. That prompted the joint Israeli-U.S. Operation Roaring Lion, he said, whose opening strike killed Ali Khamenei.
这位总理指责伊朗最高领袖穆杰塔巴·哈梅内伊——他在阿里·哈梅内伊于2月28日遭以色列空袭身亡后继任其父职务——正步其父后尘。“他已拔掉保险栓，伊朗正再次试图研制死亡炸弹，”内塔尼亚胡说。
The premier accused Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who succeeded his father after Ali Khamenei was killed in an Israeli strike on Feb. 28, of following in his father’s footsteps. “He has pulled the safety pin, and Iran is attempting once again to develop the bombs of death,” Netanyahu said.
内塔尼亚胡表示，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普也支持推翻伊朗政权，引述他的话说：“我们已准备好完成这项任务”，但只会与以色列一道行动。
Netanyahu said U.S. President Donald Trump also supported toppling the Iranian regime, quoting him as saying, “We are ready to finish the job,” but would do so only with Israel.
“我们将斩断章鱼的头，也将最终斩断它的触须，剩余的触须，我们将消灭哈马斯并消灭真主党，”内塔尼亚胡说。“我可以告诉你们，我们许多邻国都希望这样，在黎巴嫩、在加沙，当然还有伊朗。在伊朗，他们希望以色列获胜。”
“We will eliminate the head of the octopus, and we will also finally sever its arms, the remainder of its arms, we will eliminate Hamas and eliminate Hezbollah,” Netanyahu said. “And I can tell you that many of our neighbors hope for this, in Lebanon, in Gaza, and certainly in Iran. In Iran, they hope for Israel’s victory.”
在向毕业军官讲话时，内塔尼亚胡称推翻伊朗政权“现在也是你们的使命”，并敦促他们“彻底消灭邪恶轴心”。同样在毕业典礼上发言的以色列国防部长卡茨警告说，如果伊斯兰共和国对犹太国家发动袭击，“伊朗将燃烧”。
Addressing the graduating officers, Netanyahu called overthrowing the Iranian regime “now also your mission” and urged them “to eliminate the Axis of Evil once and for all.”Also speaking at the graduation ceremony, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that “Iran will burn” if the Islamic Republic launches an attack on the Jewish state.
卡茨说，德黑兰及其代理人正寻求实施恐怖袭击，以影响10月27日议会选举的结果。
Katz said Tehran and its proxies are seeking to carry out terror attacks to influence the outcome of the Oct. 27 Knesset elections.
“伊朗政权处于有史以来最弱的时刻，我们认定这种弱点可能导致它采取最极端的步骤，包括针对以色列国，”这位国防部长说。
“The Iranian regime is at its weakest point ever, and we identify that this weakness could lead it to take the most extreme steps, including against the State of Israel,” the defense minister said.
“我们给伊朗政权的信息很明确，”卡茨接着说。“我们识别出你们的企图，我们已准备好挫败它们，并准备好以全力打击你们。”
“Our message to the Iranian regime is clear,” Katz continued. “We identify your attempts, we are prepared to thwart them, and ready to strike you with full force.”
卡茨说，任何在“选举前或选举后”袭击以色列的人，“都将付出最惨重的代价。”特朗普也在白宫“快速反应47”账号周三分享的讲话中吹嘘了对伊朗的打击。
Anyone who attacks Israel “before the elections or after them,” Katz said, “will pay the heaviest price.”Trump also touted the strikes on Iran in remarks shared on Wednesday by the White House’s Rapid Response 47 account.
“我认为这是我们做过的最伟大的事情之一——我们阻止了伊朗拥有核武器，”他说。“这需要很大的勇气，因为没有其他总统愿意这么做。”在周三的另一番讲话中，特朗普说涉及伊朗的事态发展可能“相当快”就会出现，但对与德黑兰的会谈给出了相互矛盾的说法。
“I think it’s one of the greatest things that we’ve done—we’ve stopped Iran from having a nuclear weapon,” he said. “It took a lot of courage to do it because no other president was willing to do it.”In separate remarks on Wednesday, Trump said a development involving Iran could come “fairly soon” but gave conflicting accounts of talks with Tehran.
在安德鲁斯联合基地登上“空军一号”前对记者讲话时，特朗普告诉NewsNation记者利比·迪恩，谈判正在“稍微”继续。
Speaking to reporters before boarding Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews, Trump told NewsNation correspondent Libbey Dean that negotiations were continuing “a little bit.”
被进一步追问时，他说：“我们没有在与[伊朗]谈判。我们将以某种方式达成某种结果。这将相当快地发生。”他补充道：“大多数人似乎认为这将在大选之后；我们将拭目以待。”
Pressed further, he said, “We are not negotiating with [Iran]. We are gonna have something one way or the other. It’ll happen fairly soon.”“Most people seem to think it’s after the election; we’re gonna see what happens,” he added.
