Trump plans to take action against Iran after the midterm elections! US military reportedly capable of launching large-scale strikes within 96 hours ZH川普擬期中選舉後對伊動手! 美軍傳96小時內可發動大規模打擊
Newtalk新聞 中東局勢再度面臨全面軍事衝突爆發邊緣。根據《有線電視新聞網》(CNN)引述兩位美國官員說法,部署於中東地區的美軍已做好準備,一旦接獲美國總統川普(Donald Trump)的命令,即可在 96 小時內對伊朗發動新一輪且極具規模的軍事行動。多位熟悉內部軍事規劃的現任與前任官員透露,目前美軍已在該區域部署足夠兵力,這項打擊行動預計不再只是過去單純摧毀雷達或飛彈發射器等可迅速重建目標的定期清理防衛手段,而是包含伊朗能源基礎設施、軍事據點及核設施在內的全面打擊,行動時機極可能落在美國期中選舉過後。 美軍中央司令部(CENTCOM)司令庫柏(Brad Cooper)海軍上將日前甫視察荷姆茲海峽(Strait of Hormuz),美軍目前持續維持對伊朗港口的封鎖並護航關鍵航道。針對外傳的行動計畫,五角大廈高層官員在聲明中向《有線電視新聞網》表示,國防部作為規劃組織,職責即是制定並執行總統下達的軍事選項。然而,美國情報圈評估顯示,伊朗軍隊對美軍戰術已更加熟悉,打擊恐面臨不小難度;美國國家情報總監克萊頓(Jay Clayton)給國務卿盧比歐(Marco Rubio)的解密備忘錄更示警,伊朗已大幅加強針對美國人員的攻擊策劃,並已在多國進入後期準備階段。為因應隨之而來的報復風險,美方除了已對沙烏地阿拉伯首都利雅德的大使館下達撤離令外,也將縮減多個中東駐館規模,並叫停部分非必要部隊的輪調進駐。 美國國務卿盧比歐。 圖:翻攝自 X(資料照) 除了美方的部署,以色列總理納坦雅胡(Benjamin Netanyahu)更持續積極爭取發動新攻勢。以色列安全消息人士指出,納坦雅胡日前極力遊說川普在選前發動聯合突擊,但遭到川普拒絕,美方要求以國延後行動,待期中選舉後再共同執行。以色列國防軍參謀總長薩米爾(Eyal Zamir)亦曾向美方表達擔憂,認為選前貿然打擊將危及並導致以國選舉延期。以色列第 12 頻道電視台(Channel 12 News)甚至揭露納坦雅胡與薩米爾在選前爆發空前對立,儘管以國防長卡茨(Israel Katz)駁斥該報導為子虛烏有,但納坦雅胡本週在軍方畢業典禮上已公開宣示,軍事與情報體系的首要目標就是推翻伊朗政權,各項作戰方案已準備就緒,全待川普批准。 美國總統川普(右)力挺的以色列總理納坦雅胡(左)敗象已露 請輸入來源 面對美以聯手打擊的威脅逼近,中東區域大國緊急啟動外交斡旋。沙烏地阿拉伯國防部長哈利德親王(Khalid bin Salman)、巴基斯坦陸軍參謀長穆尼爾(Asim Munir)及土耳其情報首長卡林(Ibrahim Kalin)組成的「麥加同盟」(Mecca Alliance)高層代表團於週一飛抵德黑蘭,與伊朗總統裴澤斯基安(Masoud Pezeshkian)及國家安全首長雷札伊(Mohsen Rezaei)舉行危機會談。沙烏地外交部強調,此行旨在鼓勵對話以遏制軍事升級,並支持卡達與巴基斯坦的調解;伊朗外交部發言人巴加埃(Esmaeil …

Yemen Houthi: Fired missiles hitting Saudi Arabia's largest oil refinery ZH葉門青年運動:發射飛彈擊中沙烏地最大煉油廠
Newtalk新聞 與伊朗結盟的葉門叛軍青年運動(Houthis)今天表示,該組織發射彈道飛彈,擊中沙烏地阿拉伯規模最大的拉斯塔努拉(Ras Tanura)煉油廠。 路透社報導,青年運動軍事發言人薩里(Yahya Saree)指出,這次攻擊造成拉斯塔努拉煉油廠園區起火。 據報導,該園區也設有航運碼頭,位於波斯灣(Persian Gulf)沿岸、荷莫茲海峽(Strait of Hormuz)以西。 沙烏地幾乎所有石油出口都經由兩大港口運輸,分別是波斯灣沿岸的拉斯塔努拉,以及紅海(Red Sea)沿岸的揚布(Yanbu),青年運動過去曾攻擊這兩座港口。 拉斯塔努拉煉油廠每日產能為55萬桶,在伊朗戰爭最初幾個月,曾為預防起見暫時停止運作。延伸閱讀:葉門政府軍遭重擊! 沙擬「賠10億」美元結束衝突 伊暗中「再武裝」真主黨想用轟伊救選情? 納坦雅胡計畫被阻止 恐丟政權 未來接班人將是「他」美軍中央司令部搭機巡視荷姆茲海峽 統計:美軍護15億桶原油通行川普暗示:1103期中選後 可能恢復對伊朗空襲 台南車站新站大廳傳天籟 林隆璇攜視障生陳俊豪四手聯彈「我愛你這樣深」
