美国总统唐纳德·特朗普再次声称，伊朗战争将“在我想要的任何时候”结束，但坚持认为德黑兰不能拥有核武器。
U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his claim that the Iran war will end "whenever I want it to," but insists that Tehran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
特朗普在得克萨斯州拉伯克市的一次集会上发表讲话时说：“之前有人问我，‘伊朗战争什么时候结束？’我说，‘我想让它结束的时候它就会结束。’”特朗普表示，战争“会很快结束，但我们必须有一个恰当的结局”，并发表一份“全面声明”，表明伊朗永远不会拥有核武器。
Speaking at a rally in Lubbock, Texas, Trump said "Somebody asked me before, 'When will the war in Iran end?' I said, 'Whenever I want it to end.'" Trump said it "would be very quick, but we have to have an end properly," with a "total statement" that Iran would never have a nuclear weapon.
他发表上述言论之际，随着美国于11月3日迎来中期选举，不断上涨的能源成本和民众负担能力问题导致其民调数字接近历史最低点，这位总统正为此苦苦挣扎。
His statement comes as the President grapples with poll numbers that are near a record low due to rising energy costs and affordability issues as the U.S. heads into the midterm elections on Nov. 3.
根据路透社/益普索周一发布的民调，特朗普目前的支持率为32%。
Currently, Trump's approval ratings stand at 32%, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll on Monday.
穆迪分析公司首席经济学家马克·赞迪于10月12日表示，迄今为止，这场战争平均让每个美国家庭损失2000美元，其中1100美元来自能源成本上涨，540美元来自利率成本上升，360美元来自军费开支增加。
Mark Zandi, Moody's Analytics' Chief Economist said on Oct. 12 that the war was costing American families an average of $2,000 so far, where $1,100 comes from higher energy costs, $540 from higher interest rate costs, and $360 due to increased military spending.
伊朗冲突没有显示出缓和的迹象，特朗普表示他很快将决定是与伊朗“达成协议”还是“彻底了结”。本月早些时候，美国已从沙特阿拉伯撤离外交官，据《纽约时报》报道，美国和以色列军方已制定了在中期选举后对伊朗发动“短暂但密集”打击行动的具体计划。
The Iran conflict shows no sign of winding down, with Trump saying that he will soon decide whether to "make a deal" with Iran or "finish it off." Earlier in the month, the U.S. had evacuated diplomats from Saudi Arabia, as the New York Times reported that U.S. and Israeli militaries have drawn up specific plans for a "short but intensive" operation for strikes on Iran after the midterm elections.
据《国会山报》报道，美国中央司令部10月16日的一项估算也显示，伊朗战争的成本已飙升至470亿美元，比之前的数字高出约30亿美元。

据报道，大部分费用用于弹药补充，达2900万美元。华盛顿与伊朗的冲突已导致美国弹药出现“短缺”，尽管特朗普在9月3日声称美国的弹药数量“几乎无限”。
The bulk of the costs was reportedly for munitions replacements at $29 million. Washington's conflict with Iran has caused "shortfalls" in U.S. munitions, despite Trump claiming on Sept. 3 that the U.S. had "virtually unlimited" amounts of ammunition.
据一份提交给国会的首席监察长报告，这场战争的巨额代价不包括中东受损军事基地的费用，截至6月29日，这些费用估计为1.84亿美元。
The massive price tag on the war does not include the costs of damaged military bases in the Middle East, which is estimated at $184 million as of June 29, according to a lead inspector general report to Congress.
