Ben Ferguson: 作为主持人,我认为以色列对伊朗的军事行动取得了重大胜利,摧毁了伊朗的军事领导层并严重破坏了其核设施。然而,这次行动也伴随着风险,包括以色列平民伤亡、美国军人面临的潜在威胁以及伊朗可能发动的恐怖袭击。我们必须关注这些风险,并确保以色列能够完成其任务,同时保护美国及其盟友的安全。 Ted Cruz: 作为参议员,我认为这次冲突在某种程度上是不可避免的,因为伊朗最高领袖明确表示要获得核武器。特朗普总统曾给伊朗最高领袖 60 天的最后期限来达成协议,但伊朗拒绝了。以色列在特朗普总统的最后期限到期后的第 61 天发起了这次袭击,并在过去五天内对伊朗进行了大规模的精确打击。我认为特朗普总统是以色列最坚定的支持者,他的政策是通过实力实现和平,阻止伊朗获得核武器可以避免战争。如果伊朗最高领袖拥有核武器,他很可能会使用它,因此我们必须尽一切努力阻止伊朗获得核武器。 Benjamin Netanyahu: 作为以色列总理,我想强调的是,以色列的情报非常明确,伊朗正在秘密计划将铀武器化,他们将在几个月内,肯定不到一年内,获得测试设备和可能的初始设备。我们绝不允许这种情况发生,以色列不会再发生第二次大屠杀,绝不允许这种情况再次发生。我们必须采取行动,阻止伊朗获得核武器,保护我们的人民和国家。
