特朗普周一在白宫发表讲话，淡化了对伊朗重启军事行动的可能性，但表示美国正在中东维持战时态势，以保护阿拉伯和海湾盟友。
President Trump downplayed the possibility of renewed military action against Iran but said the U.S. was maintaining its wartime posture in the Middle East to protect allied Arab and Gulf partners, speaking from the White House on Monday.
特朗普的言论是在与伊朗主要对话渠道、卡塔尔首相兼外交大臣穆罕默德·本·阿卜杜勒拉赫曼·阿勒萨尼会晤后发表的。
Trump’s comments came following a meeting with the primary interlocutor with Iran, Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.
特朗普在其社交媒体平台“真相社交”上发帖，并在随后的白宫讲话中表示，美国的盟友希望美国维持海上封锁和相当于“现状”的陆上封锁。
Trump said America’s allies prefer the U.S. to maintain the naval blockade and a land blockade that amounts to a “status quo,” in a post on his social media site Truth Social, and later in remarks at the White House.
“我们拥有史上最强大的军事封锁。我们有新的‘铁门’，”特朗普说。
“We have the greatest military blockade ever. We have the new Iron Gate,” Trump said.
“‘铁门’是陆上的，所以是陆海兼备，我们将处理好相关事务。”近几周，美国一直在对伊朗南部的盖什姆岛实施有限打击，特朗普政府将其描述为防御性行动。
“Iron Gate is land, so by land and by sea, and we will take care of business.”The U.S. in recent weeks has been carrying out limited strikes on Iran, on the southern island of Queshm, which the Trump administration describes as defensive.
特朗普表示，美国将留在中东，帮助保卫阿拉伯和海湾合作伙伴免受伊朗袭击。
Trump said the U.S. would remain in the Middle East to help defend Arab and Gulf partners from Iranian attacks.
“我们在那里有一些很棒的盟友，我们必须确保他们不受伤害，”他在白宫简报室对记者说。
“We have some great allies there and we have to make sure they are not hurt,” he told reporters in the White House briefing room.
“事情很快就会结束，但我们要照顾那些多年来对我们很好的人。”
“It’s ending quicky, but we want to take care of people that have been very good to us over the years.”
特朗普说伊朗人正在就谈判进行接触。周日，国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥表示，伊朗结束战争的要求不可接受，“离谱、荒唐，完全不切实际。”伊朗官员呼吁美国解除封锁并取消制裁，以重启谈判。
Trump said the Iranians were reaching out on negotiations. On Sunday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Iranian demands to end the war were unacceptable, “outrageous and ridiculous and really not realistic.”Iranian officials have called for the U.S. to lift its blockade and lift sanctions to restart negotiations.
