美国总统特朗普周五表示，美国对伊朗发动了新的防御性打击，目标是该国的防空系统，并将此次打击描述为“小规模”。美国军方此前曾在周一袭击伊朗，就在中期选举前一天，目标是伊朗的格什姆岛，该岛拥有伊朗海军基地，位于关键的霍尔木兹海峡。特朗普此前曾表示，他不会在中期选举前袭击伊朗。
The U.S. launched new defensive strikes against Iran targeting the country’s air defense systems, President Trump said on Friday, describing the strikes as “minor.”The U.S. military previously struck Iran on Monday, just a day before the midterms, targeting Iran’s Qeshm Island, home to an Iranian naval base and in the critical Strait of Hormuz. Trump had previously said he would not strike Iran until after the midterms.
据美联社报道，伊朗官方媒体周五报告称格什姆岛发生爆炸，并在社交媒体上发帖称伊朗军队在格什姆上空击落了一架美国无人机。
Iranian state media reported explosions on Qeshm Island on Friday, according to the Associated Press, and posted on social media that the Iranian army had shot down a U.S. drone over Qeshm.
“伊朗伊斯兰共和国陆军宣布，一架属于其所谓的侵略性美国敌人的MQ-9无人机在格什姆上空被击中坠落，”官方媒体在社交平台上表示。 在中期选举前的打击未被五角大楼公开承认，五角大楼自9月初以来未披露过任何针对伊朗目标的袭击。
“The Islamic Republic of Iran Army announced that an MQ-9 drone belonging to what it called the aggressive American enemy was hit and brought down over Qeshm,” state media said on the social platform The strikes ahead of the midterms were not publicly acknowledged by the Pentagon, which had not disclosed any attacks on Iranian targets since early September.
周五的打击标志着中期选举后的首次袭击，在这次选举中，战争是选民关注的主要议题。
Friday’s strikes mark the first since the midterm elections, in which the war was a major issue for voters.
中期选举前的最后一份路透社/益普索民调显示，仅有33%的美国人支持伊朗战争，而62%的人表示反对。
The final Reuters/Ipsos survey ahead of the midterms found that just 33 percent of Americans approved of the Iran war, while 62 percent disapproved.
在共和党遭遇选举惨败——共和党至少失去了八个参议院席位和数十个众议院席位——之后，党内许多人将失利归咎于伊朗战争，其中包括副总统万斯。
After the Republicans’ election wipeout — in which the GOP lost at least eight Senate seats and dozens of House seats — many in the party blamed the Iran war for losses, including Vice President Vance.
“我们输掉选举的原因是战争，”万斯在选举后的一篇长篇社交媒体帖文中写道。
“The reason we lost is the war,” Vance wrote in a long social media post after the election.
“任何关于我们何去何从的诚实对话都必须从这一点开始，”他补充道。
“Any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there,” he added.
特朗普似乎同意万斯的观点，并在接受《华尔街日报》采访时承认，战争是该党命运的部分原因。
Trump seemed to agree with Vance and admitted in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that the war was part of the reason for the party’s fate.
连伊朗也在大选后发声，其议会议长在X上写道：“美国人说不给战争。” 这场战争现已进入第九个月，总统及其政府在2月开战时曾预计仅持续几周。但双方谈判已不止一次破裂，核心在于至关重要的霍尔木兹海峡。战争期间伊朗在该海峡的袭击导致全球汽油和柴油价格飙升。周二投票日，美国记录了有史以来最高的大选日平均汽油价格。
Even Iran chimed in after the election, with its speaker of parliament writing on X, “Americans said NO TO WAR.”The war, now in its ninth month, was projected by the president and his administration to last only a few weeks when it began in February. But negotiations have fallen apart between the two sides more than once, and at the heart of them is the critical Strait of Hormuz. Iranian attacks in the strait throughout the war sent gas and diesel prices surging worldwide. The U.S. recorded its highest-ever Election Day average gas price Tuesday as voters went to the polls.
