伊朗领导人周二欢呼美国中期选举中民主党取得压倒性胜利，称这是对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对伊朗战争的否决。
Iranian leaders hailed the Democratic landslide in the U.S. midterms on Tuesday as a rejection of President Donald Trump’s war against Iran.
“伊朗民族在战场上给特朗普造成了战略失败，”伊朗最高国家安全委员会主席穆赫森·雷扎伊周三在社交媒体上发帖称。“美国的崩溃进程已经加速，”最高领袖莫杰塔巴·哈梅内伊发帖称。
“The Iranian nation handed Trump a strategic defeat on the battlefield,” Mohsen Rezaei, head of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council, posted on social media Wednesday. “The process of the US’s collapse has accelerated,” Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei posted.
民主党将于1月控制国会两院，这将使他们拥有新的筹码来挑战美国和以色列的战争努力。一些共和党人在选举日前几个月就已经与党派决裂，呼吁结束战争。现在，许多人将该党的中期选举失利归咎于这场战争，这场战争推高了全球能源价格，并日益不受美国人欢迎。
Democrats will take control of both chambers of Congress in January, giving them new leverage to challenge the U.S. and Israeli war effort. Some Republicans had already broken ranks in the months before Election Day to call for an end to the war. Now many have blamed the party’s midterm losses on the war, which drove up energy prices around the world and became increasingly unpopular with Americans.
“我们失利的原因是战争，”副总统J·D·万斯周三在X平台上发帖称。
“The reason we lost is the war,” Vice President J.D. Vance posted on X on Wednesday.
虽然像雷扎伊这样的人将特朗普的“政治失败”归功于自己，但其他伊朗领导人则将中期选举结果视为美国人对特朗普战争的否决。
While some like Rezaei took credit for Trump’s “POLITICAL DEFEAT,” other Iranian leaders cast the midterm results as a repudiation of his war by Americans.
伊朗议会议长、该国首席谈判代表穆罕默德-巴盖尔·卡利巴夫发帖称：“良知还是生活成本，美国人说了不打仗，我们支持这一信息。”他将可能对伊朗的进一步攻击描述为对美国公众的背叛。
Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammed-Baqer Qalibaf, the country’s chief negotiator, posted, “Conscience or the cost of living, Americans said NO TO WAR, and we endorse this message.”He characterized potential further attacks on Iran as a betrayal of the American public.
伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队上个月曾直接向美国人民发信，敦促他们投票反对自己的政府。特朗普此前曾指责伊朗试图通过拖延战争来损害共和党的中期选举前景。
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had appealed directly to the American people in a letter last month, urging them to vote against their government. Trump had previously accused Iran of prolonging the war in an effort to damage Republican midterm prospects.
伊朗外交部发言人埃斯梅尔·巴盖伊周三直接对特朗普发声，指责他将美国拖入“针对伊朗的非法且残暴的战争”。“你的计算失败了，你的假设崩溃了，你的战略误判变得痛苦地明显，”他写道。
Esmaeil Baqaei, the spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, addressed Trump directly on Wednesday, accusing him of dragging the U.S. into “an unlawful and atrocious war against Iran.”“Your calculations failed, your assumptions collapsed, and your strategic misjudgments became painfully evident,” he wrote.
“美国人民现在已经向你传递了一个明确的信息，”巴盖伊继续说道。“然而，如果你继续无视现实、否认历史教训，并执意走上这条危险的道路，这次严重误判的后果将远超你已经目睹的范围。”共和党人将战争归咎于失利 这场席卷性的共和党失败加剧了关于伊朗战争的分歧。
“The American people have now sent you a clear message,” Baqaei continued. “Yet, if you continue to disregard reality, dismiss the lessons of history, and persist in this dangerous course, the consequences of this grave miscalculation will extend far beyond what you have already witnessed.”Republicans blame war for losses The sweeping Republican defeat has sharpened divisions over the Iran War.
据报道，一些议员希望弹劾国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯，他是战争的早期倡导者。肯塔基州众议员托马斯·马西（共和党人）告诉CNN，他打算在国会下周复会时，就其弹劾赫格塞斯的努力迫使进行表决。马西一直是特朗普及其政府内部的直言不讳的批评者，并在5月的共和党初选中落选。
Some lawmakers reportedly want to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who was an early advocate for the war. Rep. Thomas Massie (R, Ky.) told CNN that he intends to force a vote when Congress returns next week on his effort to impeach Hegseth. Massie has been a vocal intraparty critic of Trump and his Administration and lost his GOP primary race in May.
“有些共和党人可能会支持弹劾赫格塞斯，但不一定会支持弹劾特朗普，”众议院军事委员会首席民主党议员亚当·史密斯上周对《时代》杂志表示。
“There are Republicans who would support impeaching Hegseth who might not support doing it to Trump,” Rep. Adam Smith, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, told TIME last week.
“如果总统认真考虑让任何人为[中期选举失利]承担责任，那就是皮特·赫格塞斯，”一位接近白宫的共和党人告诉CNN。“自一开始以来，皮特关于[伊朗战争]时间表、目标和宗旨的说法，要么不诚实，要么不正确——这两者都不可接受。”然而，赫格塞斯可能在国会介入之前就被迫离职。CBS周三援引多个消息来源报道称，特朗普据称已与顾问讨论是否应更换国防部长。
“If the President is serious about anyone taking responsibility for [the midterm losses], it’s Pete Hegseth,” a Republican close to the White House told CNN. “Pete has been either dishonest or incorrect—neither of which are acceptable—about [Iran War] timelines, goals and objectives since the beginning.”Hegseth, however, may be forced out of his job before Congress steps in. Trump has reportedly spoken to advisers about whether the Defense Secretary should be replaced, CBS reported on Wednesday, citing multiple sources.
一位消息人士告诉CBS，佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯（共和党人，其州长任期将于1月5日届满）已被提及为赫格塞斯的可能继任者。
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican whose gubernatorial term expires Jan. 5, has been floated as a possible replacement for Hegseth, one source told CBS.
特朗普周三下午对记者说，如果赫格塞斯被任命接替田纳西州参议员玛莎·布莱克本留下的席位，他将“非常受欢迎”。布莱克本将就任该州州长。不过特朗普表示，他“完全”没有听其他人提起过这个想法。尽管如此，特朗普公开支持这位五角大楼最高官员，并否认有解雇他的计划。赫格塞斯曾被视为2028年共和党总统候选人的潜在人选。特朗普周三对记者表示：“我认为他做得非常好。”
Trump told reporters on Wednesday afternoon that Hegseth would be “very popular” if he was appointed to fill the seat that will be vacated by Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn, who will take office as the state’s governor, although he said he had not heard any talk of the idea from others “at all.”Still, Trump has publicly backed the Pentagon’s top official, who has been discussed as a possible 2028 Republican presidential candidate, and denied plans to fire him. “I think he’s doing a very good job,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday.
战争接下来可能走向何方：民主党领袖誓言在中期选举获胜后推动结束战争。
Where the war could go from here Democratic leaders have vowed to push for an end to the war following their midterm victory.
“我们将结束这场战争，”参议院民主党领袖查克·舒默周三在华盛顿的新闻发布会上说，他援引了国会对联邦支出的权力。众议院民主党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯敦促特朗普在新一届国会召开前结束战争，称选举结果是美国民众反对战争的信号。
“We are going to end the war,” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said at a news conference in Washington on Wednesday, citing Congress’s power over federal spending. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries urged Trump to end the war before the new Congress convenes, describing the electoral outcome as a message from Americans that they are opposed to the war.
民主党人在国会的多数席位将赋予他们更大的筹码来限制对伊朗的军事开支，并使他们有能力推动立法结束敌对行动，尽管他们仍需在参议院获得大量共和党支持，才能推翻特朗普的否决。民主党人还可以扣留新拨款，并通过国会调查和听证会审查五角大楼的战略、开支和战争行为，向政府进一步施压。白宫发言人劳伦·比斯在向美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）提供的一份声明中，将民主党可能采取的做法称为“虚假调查和激进左翼政策”。
Their majorities in Congress will give Democrats greater leverage to restrict military spending on Iran and the ability to advance legislation directing an end to hostilities, although they would still need substantial Republican support in the Senate to override a Trump veto. Democrats could also withhold new funding, and put further pressure on the Administration through congressional investigations and hearings scrutinizing the Pentagon’s strategy, spending, and conduct of the war. White House spokesperson Lauren Bis described the potential Democratic approach as “sham investigations and radical left policies” in a statement to CNN.
