Topics
Mike Baker: 作为主持人，我观察到以色列和伊朗之间的战争正在升级，特朗普总统提前结束了G7峰会，赶回华盛顿与国家安全团队会面。这场冲突暴露了特朗普总统内阁在促使以色列对伊朗核基础设施采取先发制人打击的情报问题上的分歧。特朗普总统甚至公开不同意他的国家情报总监图尔西·加巴德关于伊朗尚未决定制造核武器的立场。我认为，基于伊朗不致力于核武器项目的希望来评估国家安全战略是不够的。虽然特朗普总统认为伊朗政权非常接近制造核弹，这与以色列总理内塔尼亚胡的立场一致，但他对加巴德评估的否定引发了关于其政府内部关于伊朗核计划的辩论，以及对以色列军事干预的内部支持有多强的质疑。我认为，美国下一步的行动方向并不明朗，各方观点存在冲突。 Donald Trump: 作为总统，我明确表示，我不在乎加巴德说了什么，我认为伊朗非常接近获得核武器。同时，我也警告说，每个人都应该立即撤离德黑兰。我希望追求真正结束战争，而不是停火，并且不排除与伊朗官员会面的可能性。我坚持认为，伊朗必须无条件投降，并且明确表示我们确切地知道所谓的“最高领袖”藏在哪里，但目前不会对他采取行动。我对伊朗政权的耐心正在耗尽。 Emmanuel Macron: 我认为特朗普总统提前离开峰会是为了促成以色列和伊朗之间的停火。 Tulsi Gabbard: 作为国家情报总监，我的评估是伊朗没有制造核武器，最高领袖哈梅内伊自2003年以来就没有批准过核武器项目。 White House spokesman: 我代表白宫发言，澄清美国军队将不会立即攻击伊朗，美国军队仍在该地区保持防御姿态，没有任何改变。

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: 

  • First, as the war between Israel and Iran escalates, President Donald Trump abruptly ditched the G7 Summit in Canada to rush back to Washington for a meeting with his national security team. The conflict, now entering its fifth day, is exposing some rifts within the president’s cabinet regarding the intelligence that prompted Israel to strike.

  • Later in the show—FBI Director Kash Patel turns over a newly declassified intelligence report to Congress regarding an alleged plot by the Chinese to tip the scales of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The scheme reportedly involved using mass-produced fake U.S. driver's licenses to create fraudulent mail-in ballots for former President Joe Biden.
