特朗普11月9日会见卡塔尔首相后称伊朗战争在军事上已实际结束：维持现状与海上封锁，恢复空袭可能性低
华盛顿 — 美国总统特朗普 11 月 9 日在会见卡塔尔首相谢赫穆罕默德·本·阿卜杜勒拉赫曼·阿勒萨尼后，意外现身白宫新闻简报室。他对记者表示，伊朗战争在军事上已经实际结束，美方只是维持现状。他说，伊朗方面正与美方对话、态度很有礼貌，他认为战争有很大机会得以结束。
特朗普同时表示，海上封锁将继续维持。他称美方拥有有史以来最强大的军事封锁，并称军事行动目前看来并不十分必要，但美方已子弹上膛、随时准备在情况变化时行动。他在与记者交谈前不久在社交媒体发文称，卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋、巴林、科威特等中东盟友都希望维持现状。特朗普周日在与有线电视新闻网的电话采访中说，只要与伊朗的谈判取得进展并签下强有力的协议，恢复空袭就极不可能有必要。
据两名熟悉情况的中东政府官员透露，卡塔尔官员上周向美方提交了关于伊朗核计划的方案，白宫未予置评。伊朗方面继续提出在进入核谈判前须先满足的要求，包括结束美方对伊朗港口的封锁、解除制裁、解冻资产、赔偿战争损失，以及结束包括以色列在黎巴嫩行动在内的地区敌对行动。美联社报道称，美军过去一周至少两次对伊朗实施有限空袭、打击其防空系统，并于周六向一艘被指试图突破封锁的商船开火致其失去行动能力；特朗普表示，若军事行动恢复，美方已认定包括 38 座桥梁在内的基础设施目标。
Trump Says on November 9 After Meeting Qatar's Prime Minister That the Iran War Is Militarily Effectively Over: Status Quo and Naval Blockade to Continue, Renewed Strikes Unlikely
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump made a surprise visit to the White House briefing room on Monday, November 9, after meeting earlier with Qatar's prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani. He told reporters that the war in Iran militarily is effectively over and that the United States is just keeping it the status quo. He said Iran was talking to the United States, and talking very politely, and that he saw positive momentum and a good chance the war could get ended.
Trump said the naval blockade in the Gulf will continue, calling it the greatest military blockade ever, and said military action does not seem to be a very necessary thing, while adding that the United States is locked and loaded and ready to go for any reason that changes. In a social media posting shortly before speaking to reporters, he asserted that Middle East allies including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Kuwait would prefer the status quo. In a phone interview with CNN on Sunday, he said that as long as negotiations with Iran show progress and Tehran signs a strong agreement, it is highly unlikely it will be necessary to resume strikes.
Qatari officials last week presented proposals on Iran's nuclear program, according to two Middle East government officials familiar with the matter, and the White House declined to comment. Tehran continues to insist on concessions before engaging in nuclear talks, including ending the US blockade on Iran's ports, lifting sanctions, unfreezing its assets, issuing compensation for war damage and ending hostilities throughout the region, including Israeli operations in Lebanon. The Associated Press reported that the US military has carried out limited strikes on Iran, including against its air defences, at least twice over the past week, and on Saturday fired on and disabled a commercial ship it says was trying to breach the blockade. Trump said the United States had identified infrastructure targets, including 38 bridges, that it would strike if military action resumes.
