Iran war live: Trump threatens strikes, Iran says it has a plan to respond
伊朗战事实时:特朗普威胁发动打击,伊朗称已制定反击方案
§
An Iranian official quoted by Tasnim says plans are in place to respond to any ‘mad’ US strikes.
据塔斯尼姆通讯社援引伊朗官员消息称,针对美方任何‘疯狂’的打击行动,伊方均已制定好应对方案。
While United States President Donald Trump has told reporters on Friday that the US will be hitting Iran “hard”, there are reports that the strikes may be called off.
The article’s pivot from Trump’s threat to hit Iran 'hard' to reports that strikes 'may be called off' highlights the inherent instability of relying on executive volatility. While the Iranian official’s mention of targeting 'vital US and Israeli infrastructure' is a stark deterrent, the real concern here is the fiscal and strategic cost of escalation. We need measured diplomacy, not the kind of unpredictable brinkmanship that risks unintended consequences for global stability.

文章从特朗普威胁要‘狠’打伊朗,转向报道打击‘可能取消’,这凸显了依赖行政层反复无常的内在不稳定性。虽然伊朗官员提及将针对‘美国和以色列的关键基础设施’是一种强烈的威慑,但真正的担忧在于升级带来的财政和战略成本。我们需要的是审慎的外交,而不是那种可能给全球稳定带来意外后果的不可预测的边缘政策。
