美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周三表示，美国不需要与伊朗达成协议，尽管他在中期选举前夕曾多次表示可能达成协议。“我们不需要与伊朗达成协议。那些日子早已过去。我们掌握着他们的钱，数千亿美元，我们还掌握着他们的海峡！”他在Truth Social发文写道，指的是霍尔木兹海峡。特朗普在帖子中说，他要求副总统JD·万斯专注于所谓“民主党执政的城市和州”的“犯罪和腐败”，而不是与伊朗进行外交谈判。
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the U.S. doesn’t need a deal with Iran despite repeatedly stating in the run-up to the midterm elections that one could be reached. “We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!” he wrote in a Truth Social post, referring to the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said in the post that he asked Vice President JD Vance to focus not on diplomatic talks with Iran, but on alleged “crime and corruption” in “Democrat run Cities and States.”
《华尔街日报》此前报道，在选举前几天，万斯曾联系伊朗最高国家安全委员会秘书穆赫辛·礼萨伊，试图重启谈判。万斯被视为2028年总统竞选的潜在竞争者，他在上周中期选举共和党惨败的第二天表示，选民对伊朗战争的愤怒是该党惨败的“真正原因”。目前尚不清楚是什么促使总统出现这一显著转变，因为他在选举前曾多次暗示美国可能在不久的将来达成协议，解决与伊朗的冲突。
Days before the election, Vance had reached out to hard-liner Mohsen Rezaei, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, in a bid to restart talks, The Wall Street Journal had reported. Vance, a potential 2028 presidential contender, had said a day after GOP losses in last week’s midterm elections that voter anger over the Iran war was the “real reason” for the party’s rout. It wasn’t immediately clear what prompted the president’s notable shift, as he had suggested numerous times before the election that the U.S. could reach an agreement to resolve the conflict with Iran in the near future.
在选举前夕，特朗普在Truth Social上写道：“油价像石头一样暴跌，每桶下跌近10美元，创纪录，因为人们感觉不会与伊朗发生战争。伊朗想要尽快达成和解。”
On the eve of the election, Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Oil Prices are DROPPING LIKE A ROCK, down almost $10 a Barrel, A RECORD, because people feel that there will not be a War with Iran. Iran wants a settlement, as soon as possible. It could happen!”
“可能发生！”特朗普的这篇帖文发布于他在白宫即兴记者会上预测战争“将相当快结束”两天后。他在周一于椭圆形办公室会见了卡塔尔首相，随后在 Truth Social 发帖称：“卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋、巴林、科威特等国倾向于维持现状，换句话说，延续历史上最大规模的海上封锁……”他写道：“如果中东局势出现任何变化，美利坚合众国已‘蓄势待发’并随时准备行动。不过，目前这种情况似乎极不可能发生。”
Trump’s post comes two days after he predicted at an impromptu White House press conference that the war is “going to be ending fairly soon.”He had met with the Qatari prime minister in the Oval Office Monday and wrote in a Truth Social post afterward that “Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, and others, would prefer the status quo, in other words, a continuation of the Greatest Naval Blockade in History...”“Should there be any change with respect to developments in the Middle East, the United States of America is ‘locked and loaded’ and ready to go. At this point, however, that seems to be quite unlikely,” he wrote.
他写道：“以色列和整个中东免受伊朗的危险和威胁。我们看到结束这场冲突的积极势头，并将确保美国的利益始终得到保护。”几小时后，特朗普罕见地致电 C-SPAN，当被问及与伊朗的战争还可能持续多久时，他说：“我们可以迅速解决，也可以在短期内而非长期内解决。”总统曾在 9 月的联合国大会上表示，伊朗很可能在等待中期选举结果以达成协议。
“Israel, and the entire Middle East, are protected from Iranian danger and threats. We are seeing positive momentum toward an end to this Conflict, and will ensure that America’s interests are at all times protected.”Hours later, Trump made a rare call into C-SPAN and when asked how much longer the war with Iran could last, he said, “We could knock it out fast, or we could knock it out over a short, not a long period of time.”The president had said at the U.N. General Assembly in September that Iran was likely waiting to see the outcome of the midterm elections to make a deal.
“我认为我们会在选举后立即达成协议，因为对他们来说不达成协议讲不通，”特朗普说。“他们在等着看我在中期选举中的表现。”据两名美国官员透露，NBC 新闻上周报道称，特朗普的一些顾问已告诉他，重启对伊朗大规模军事行动的窗口期正在关闭，他应在民主党于 1 月重夺国会控制权前采取行动。这一时间表将要求他在几周内就伊朗问题做出决定。
“I believe we’ll make a deal right after the election because it doesn’t make sense for them not to,” Trump said. “They’re waiting to see how I do in the midterm election.”NBC News reported last week that some of Trump’s advisers have told him that the window for restarting major combat operations in Iran was closing and that he should act before Democrats retake control of Congress in January, according to two U.S. officials. That timeline would require him to make a decision on Iran within weeks.
