美官员证实对伊朗格什姆岛发动打击，特朗普淡化战争风险

U.S. officials confirmed Monday's strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island and said they had carried out multiple undisclosed limited strikes against Iran in recent weeks, with some officials saying the purpose was to limit Iran's ability to attack merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz. According to reports, the United States has told Gulf countries to prepare for a short, high-intensity operation shortly after the mid-term elections. On the same day, Trump said that he had not been at war with Iran for months. When asked whether he would strike after the election, he answered "no." Iran says the responsibility for reaching a deal lies with Washington and has warned of retaliation in the Middle East and beyond if conflict rekindles.
