K.T. McFarland: 我认为,当前美国是否应该军事干预伊朗,是一个复杂的问题,需要从多个角度进行考量。首先,以色列已经采取了一系列行动,系统地削弱了伊朗的军事实力,包括摧毁其防空系统和导弹设施。我认为,伊朗现在比以往任何时候都更加孤立和脆弱,这为采取行动创造了机会。但是,美国必须谨慎行事,避免重蹈过去在中东地区的覆辙。我们不应该试图强行改变伊朗的政权,而是应该让伊朗人民自己决定他们的未来。我认为,特朗普总统可能会采取一种务实的策略,即不派遣地面部队,而是从空中进行精确打击,同时与地区盟友保持密切沟通。我个人认为,降低美国卷入的风险至关重要,我们需要确保我们的行动不会引发更广泛的冲突。总的来说,我认为美国对伊朗的政策应该以保护美国利益和地区稳定为目标,同时避免不必要的军事干预。 K.T. McFarland: 我认为,伊朗的军事实力被高估了。多年来,伊朗一直以虚张声势来掩盖其弱点。在奥巴马和拜登政府时期,伊朗受益于宽松的政策和资金支持,但特朗普政府采取了强硬的制裁措施,削弱了伊朗的经济实力。现在,伊朗的石油出口受到限制,国际银行系统也无法使用,这使得伊朗难以资助其代理人和军事活动。我认为,伊朗的孤立程度达到了前所未有的水平,俄罗斯和中国都不愿意公开支持它。当然,我们不能忽视伊朗可能采取的报复行动,例如通过恐怖袭击。但是,我认为这些风险是可以控制的,只要我们采取适当的预防措施。总的来说,我认为现在是美国采取行动的最佳时机,我们可以通过有限的军事干预来削弱伊朗的实力,同时避免陷入一场旷日持久的战争。 K.T. McFarland: 我认为,美国在中东地区的政策应该以保护美国利益和地区稳定为目标。我们不应该试图强行改变其他国家的政权,而是应该尊重他们的自主权。在伊朗问题上,我认为美国应该采取一种务实的策略,即不派遣地面部队,而是从空中进行精确打击,同时与地区盟友保持密切沟通。我认为,特朗普总统可能会采取这种策略,因为他一直反对无休止的战争,并主张以美国优先为原则。当然,我们不能忽视伊朗可能采取的报复行动,例如通过恐怖袭击。但是,我认为这些风险是可以控制的,只要我们采取适当的预防措施。总的来说,我认为美国对伊朗的政策应该以保护美国利益和地区稳定为目标,同时避免不必要的军事干预。

Shownotes Transcript

Now in its sixth day, Israel’s Operation Rising Lion continues to target Iran’s nuclear sites, military leaders, and missile launchers. Calls for the U.S. to join the airstrikes against Iran are increasing, as are calls against such a move. Meanwhile, President Trump has not confirmed whether he will strike Iran directly, but he hinted on Wednesday that a decision may be forthcoming. K.T. McFarland, who served as Deputy National Security Advisor to President Trump during his first administration, joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to discuss the likelihood of U.S. involvement, potential actions, and where she believes President Trump would draw the line regarding U.S. intervention.
