US pauses Iran attacks for second night after Trump advised to halt bombing 美军方建议停止轰炸 特朗普连续第二晚暂停对伊打击

The US has paused strikes on Iran for a second night as top military officials advised Donald Trump to halt his bombing campaign, and diplomatic negotiations have continued to avoid a return to all-out war.

译美国已连续第二晚暂停对伊朗的打击，此前高级军方官员建议唐纳德·特朗普停止其轰炸行动，外交谈判仍在继续，以避免重回全面战争。

Trump is said to be weighing up diplomatic and military options in the nearly five-month-old conflict, with Benjamin Netanyahu expected to visit the White House on Tuesday. The Israeli prime minister is a vocal critic of Washington’s negotiations with Iranian leaders and has pressed for the US to continue its strikes against Iran.

译据称，特朗普正在权衡这场持续近五个月的冲突中的外交与军事选项，本雅明·内塔尼亚胡预计将于周二访问白宫。这位以色列总理是华盛顿与伊朗领导人谈判的强烈批评者，并一直敦促美国继续对伊朗实施打击。

Netanyahu is under considerable political pressure to show that his military campaigns against Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon have yielded results before elections scheduled for October.

译内塔尼亚胡面临相当大的政治压力，需要在定于十月举行的选举前证明其针对伊朗以及黎巴嫩真主党的军事行动已取得成果。

Tehran said on Sunday it would pause what it called “retaliatory” attacks against US allies in the region. “These [US] attacks continued until two nights ago, but over the past two nights the Americans have stopped their attacks,” said the army spokesperson Mohammad Akraminia. “Our strategy has essentially been retaliatory, we have also halted our retaliatory operations.”

译德黑兰方面周日表示，将暂停其所称的针对美国地区盟友的“报复性”袭击。伊朗军方发言人穆罕默德·阿克拉米尼亚说：“这些（美国的）袭击一直持续到前天晚上，但过去两个晚上美国人已停止袭击。我们的战略本质上是报复性的，因此我们也已暂停报复性行动。”

Senior officials in the Trump administration are reported to have told the president about dwindling munitions stockpiles that could hamper a sustained military campaign in the region.

译据报道，特朗普政府高级官员已告知总统，弹药库存日益减少，可能妨碍在该地区维持长期军事行动。

Axios reported on Sunday that Adm Bradley Cooper, the top US military commander in the region, had told Trump the US military campaign had reached the limits of its effectiveness.

译阿克西奥斯新闻网（Axios）周日报道，美军驻该地区最高指挥官布拉德利·库珀海军上将已告知特朗普，美国的军事行动已达到其效果的极限。

The message was said to affect Trump’s decision to decide to hold strikes on Iran for the first time in nearly two weeks. Cooper told Trump the US had nearly exhausted the list of targets that it had developed to attack in Iran, and without a return to major combat operations there was little point in continuing the bombing campaign, the news website reported.

译据称这一信息影响了特朗普近两周来首次暂停对伊朗打击的决定。该新闻网站报道称，库珀告诉特朗普，美国拟定的对伊朗打击目标清单已几乎用尽，若不重启大规模作战行动，继续实施轰炸行动意义不大。

Asked on Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press whether Trump was ruling out additional strikes in Iran, the president’s UN ambassador Mike Waltz said: “I wouldn’t go that far at all. The president is keeping all options on the table.”

译周日，在美国全国广播公司《会见新闻界》节目中被问及特朗普是否排除对伊朗实施进一步打击的可能时，总统的常驻联合国代表迈克·沃尔兹表示：“我完全不会那样说。总统保留一切选项。”

The lull in fighting, which began on Friday evening, follows nearly two weeks of strikes against Iran and the collapse of a ceasefire brokered by Trump. Washington blamed Iran for strikes on US forces and allies in the region and its closure of the strait of Hormuz, a conduit for an estimated 20% of the world’s oil and gas.

译此次战斗间歇始于周五晚间，此前美国对伊朗进行了近两周的打击，由特朗普斡旋的停火协议亦告破裂。华盛顿指责伊朗袭击美军及其地区盟友，并封锁霍尔木兹海峡——全球约百分之二十的石油和天然气经由该通道运输。

Senior diplomats from Iran and Oman were said to be holding negotiations on Sunday on reopening the vital waterway and an official in Tehran confirmed colleagues had been in touch with US negotiators to prevent a return to war. Iran has demanded payment and control over which ships pass through the strait.

译据称，伊朗与阿曼的高级外交官周日就重新开放这条重要水道举行谈判，德黑兰一名官员证实，有关人员已与美国谈判代表接触，以防止重回战争。伊朗要求获得费用，并要求掌控哪些船只可通过该海峡。

“Mediators are working and trying to prevent tension from escalating,” the Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, told a press conference on Sunday.

译伊朗外交部发言人埃斯梅尔·巴加伊周日在新闻发布会上表示：“调解方正在努力工作，试图防止紧张局势升级。”

But an Iranian army spokesperson signalled defiance, saying the US had no clear strategy and was “experiencing strategic decision-making fatigue”.

译但一名伊朗军方发言人表现出强硬姿态，称美国没有明确战略，正“经历战略决策疲劳”。

The US vice-president, JD Vance, and Dan Caine, the chair of the joint chiefs of staff, warned Trump of the risks of a renewed military campaign against Iran at an Oval Office meeting on Friday, according to media outlets. The president then ordered the military to call off new strikes, which he had warned could “knock out everything they have”.

译据多家媒体报道，美国副总统JD·万斯与参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩周五在椭圆形办公室的会议上警告特朗普重启对伊军事行动的风险。总统随后下令军方取消新的打击行动，此前他曾警告此类打击可能“摧毁他们拥有的一切”。

“We’re talking to [the Iranians] right now,” Trump told reporters on Friday. “I think they’re getting more and more serious as the days go by. We’re locked and loaded and ready to go, but we’re talking to them.”

译特朗普周五对记者表示：“我们现在正与（伊朗人）对话。我认为随着时间推移，他们变得越来越认真。我们已整装待发、随时可以行动，但我们正在与他们对话。”

At a White House Correspondents’ Association dinner that evening he said he did not think Iran was ready to make a deal but he was ready to listen.

译当晚在白宫记者协会晚宴上，他表示不认为伊朗已准备好达成协议，但他愿意倾听。

Caine warned Trump about dwindling munitions stockpiles, which include Patriot missile interceptors and offensive weapons like Tomahawk cruise missiles. Vance campaigned on his opposition to US military interventions in the Middle East and has grown more vocal in his opposition to the war in Iran.

译凯恩就日益减少的弹药库存向特朗普发出警告，其中包括“爱国者”导弹拦截弹以及“战斧”巡航导弹等进攻性武器。万斯在竞选时曾以反对美国军事干预中东为主张，如今对伊朗战争的反对声音愈发强烈。

Netanyahu’s office announced on Sunday that he would convene a meeting of his security cabinet before leaving for Washington on Monday. He played a crucial role in lobbying Trump to launch joint strikes against Iran in February and has said that US negotiators must take a strong line on Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programme. US negotiators have instead prioritised opening the strait of Hormuz.

译内塔尼亚胡办公室周日宣布，他将在周一启程前往华盛顿之前召集安全内阁会议。他在游说特朗普于二月对伊朗发动联合打击方面发挥了关键作用，并表示美国谈判代表必须在伊朗核计划与弹道导弹计划问题上采取强硬立场。而美国谈判代表则优先考虑重新开放霍尔木兹海峡。

Netanyahu will travel to Washington amid some of the worst violence this year in the West Bank, where his military is launching an “extensive” operation after the deaths of four Palestinians and two Israelis when armed settlers entered a Palestinian village on Thursday.

译内塔尼亚胡将在约旦河西岸发生今年最严重暴力事件之际前往华盛顿。周四，武装定居者进入一个巴勒斯坦村庄，造成四名巴勒斯坦人和两名以色列人死亡，此后以军正在当地发动一场“大规模”行动。

The US and the UK under its new prime minister, Andy Burnham, are discussing plans for a high-level meeting in London this week to discuss the potential for a coalition to protect ships in the strait of Hormuz and de-mine the waterway. The discussions will be an early test for Burnham’s administration. The Labour government has so far refused to allow Washington to use a British airbase for offensive operations against Iran.

译美国与英国新任首相安迪·伯纳姆领导下的英国政府正在商讨本周在伦敦举行高级别会议的计划，讨论组建联盟以保护霍尔木兹海峡航运并为该水道扫雷的可能性。此次讨论将是伯纳姆政府面临的一次早期考验。工党政府迄今拒绝允许华盛顿使用英国空军基地对伊朗发动进攻性行动。
