特朗普总统周日称霍尔木兹海峡的美国海军封锁为“历史上最伟大的”，同时他在考虑中期选举后进一步实施打击。
President Trump on Sunday called the U.S. naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz “history’s greatest” as he mulls further strikes after the midterms.
“铁门特遣部队正在伊朗伊斯兰共和国全力生效，”特朗普在 Truth Social 上写道，指的是由美国中央司令部司令布拉德·库珀上将最近组建的 20 人工作人员，其任务是“防止先进武器系统、两用技术、受制裁物资和非法收入来源跨越伊朗陆地边境和里海流动”。
“Task Force Iron Gate is in full force and effect in the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, referring to the recently formed 20-member staff formed by U.S. Central Command (Centcom) Adm. Brad Cooper and tasked with “preventing the movement of advanced weapons systems, dual-use technologies, sanctioned materials, and illegal revenue streams across Iran’s land borders and the Caspian Sea.”
特朗普表示，这“加上历史上最伟大的海军封锁，几乎没有什么东西能进出伊朗！”伊朗战争已僵持数月，在美国民众中极不受欢迎。特朗普和其他政府官员，包括副总统万斯，已承认这场冲突很可能导致共和党在上周二的 2026 年中期选举中惨败。
Trump said that coupled “with history’s greatest Naval Blockade, very little gets into, or out of, Iran!”The Iran war has remained at a standstill for months and has been largely unpopular among the American public. Trump and other administration officials, including Vice President Vance, have acknowledged that the conflict likely contributed to sweeping Republican losses in the 2026 midterm elections last Tuesday.
周日，伊朗外交部长阿拉格齐在德黑兰提交了一份为期两天的结束冲突提案后，向美国发出最后通牒，要求其“选择战争，看我们警觉且久经沙场的战士倾泻地狱之火”。据报道，美国周末对伊朗发动了新的防御性打击，目标是该国的防空系统。
On Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi gave the U.S. an ultimatum after Tehran submitted a 2-day proposal to end the conflict or “choose war, and see our alert and battle-hardened Warriors rain down hell.”The U.S. reportedly launched new defensive strikes against Iran over the weekend that targeted the country’s air defense systems.
由卡塔尔牵头的调解人呼吁华盛顿和德黑兰达成协议结束冲突。但特朗普保留了恢复打击的可能性，尽管他周日表示，如果即将到来的和平谈判显示进展，他“极不可能”这样做。
Mediators, led by Qatar, have called on Washington and Tehran to reach an agreement to end the conflict. But Trump has left open the possibility of resuming strikes, though he said Sunday that it was “highly unlikely” he would do so if upcoming peace talks show progress.
“如果有必要我会这么做，但我们已经重创了他们，”特朗普对CNN记者吉姆·舒托说。“我重创了他们。你们不知道我重创了他们到什么程度。所以我极不可能不得不这么做。他们在经济上正在枯竭。我们在军事上打击了他们。我们可以彻底消灭他们。”周末的空袭紧随11月2日据称对伊朗格什姆岛的袭击之后，该岛拥有伊朗海军基地，位于关键的霍尔木兹海峡。
“I would if necessary, but we hit them really hard,” Trump told CNN’s Jim Sciutto. “I hit them so hard. You don’t know how hard I hit them. So it’s highly unlikely I’ll have to. They’re withering away financially. We’ve hit them militarily. We could finish them off.”The weekend strikes followed up on alleged attacks on Nov. 2 that struck Iran’s Qeshm Island, home to an Iranian naval base and located in the critical Strait of Hormuz.
在中期选举前的空袭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。特朗普此前决定，直到中期选举后才会对伊朗发动空袭。
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. Trump previously determined that he would not launch strikes on Iran until after the midterms.
总统表示，“很多人不喜欢”万斯在社交媒体上发表的言论，万斯称共和党输掉选举是因为伊朗战争。
The president said that “a lot of people didn’t like” Vance’s remarks on social media saying that Republicans lost because of the Iran war.
“本该再发表一份声明，”特朗普周日对记者说。“一份我认为非常重要的声明。如果重来一次？你还会这么做吗？答案是肯定的。我可以告诉你，如果我重来一次，这在历史上、对历史而言，将被视为我们做过的最好的事情之一。”
“He should have made one other statement,” Trump told reporters on Sunday. “One statement that I think is very important. If you had it to do again? Would you do it again? The answer is yes. I can tell you, if I had it to do again, this historically, for history, will go down as one of the best things we ever did.”
国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥与万斯一样，也是2028年共和党总统初选的潜在竞争者，他也承认这场战争“未必受欢迎，但必要”。
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who, like Vance, is a potential 2028 Republican presidential primary contender, also acknowledged that the war was not “necessarily popular but necessary.”
