伊朗称美国已回应最新的和平提案 - BBC News 中文
有政府背景的伊朗媒体表示,该国已收到美国针对其最新和平提案的回应。 根据伊朗半官方通讯社塔斯尼姆(Tasnim)报道,伊朗外交部发言人表示,该回应是经由巴基斯坦转交,目前正进行审阅。 美国尚未正式确认已回覆德黑兰。不过,据报美国总统特朗普周日(5月3日)对以色列公共广播公司"KAN"新闻表示,该提案对他而言不可接受。 伊朗国营媒体称,德黑兰提出的14点和平计划要求华盛顿从伊朗边境附近撤军,解除对伊朗港口的海上封锁,并停止一切敌对行动,包括以色列在黎巴嫩的军事行动。 该提案亦呼吁两国在30天内达成协议。 伊朗媒体补充称,该提案敦促交战双方把重点放在"结束战争",而非延长目前的停火安排。 伊朗外交部发言人巴加埃(Esmaeil Baghaei,巴盖伊)被国营媒体引述称,"在这个阶段,我们没有核谈判",而核谈判正是华盛顿提出的关键要求。 伊朗一再否认寻求制造核武,并表示其核计划仅用于和平目的。不过,伊朗是唯一一个将铀浓缩至接近武器级水平的非核武国家。 周日,特朗普宣布,美国将协助在霍尔木兹海峡受困的船只。 他在社交媒体发文称:"为了伊朗、中东以及美国的利益,我们已告知这些国家,我们将引导航行的船只安全通过这些受限水道,使它们能自由而有效地继续其业务。"他未有说明涉及哪些国家。 特朗普表示,该行动名为"自由计划"(Project Freedom),将于周一启动,并补充称,若该行动受到干扰,"将不得不以武力处理"。 自2月战争爆发以来,伊朗已大幅限制霍尔木兹海峡的航运流量;美国亦对伊朗港口实施海上封锁。 周六,特朗普确认华盛顿已收到伊朗最新的和平提案。 他在社交平台"Truth Social"发表简短帖文写道:"我很快将审阅伊朗刚刚送交给我们的计划,但难以想像它会是可以接受的,因为在过去47年里,他们对人类和世界所做的事情,至今仍未付出足够大的代价。" 同日于佛罗里达州棕榈滩向记者表示,他已获告知"协议的概念",并补充说:"他们现在会把确切措辞交给我。" 被BBC问及是否可能恢复对伊朗境内目标的军事打击时,特朗普表示"这是一种可能性"。 他说:"如果他们行为不当,如果他们做了坏事。但现在我们会再看看。" 这名美国总统似乎不倾向于完全退出冲突,称"我们不会离开",并表示"我们要把事情做好,这样就没有人需要在两年或五年后再回来"。 伊朗国家关连通讯社表示,德黑兰的最新提案是回应美国提出的一项九点计划,该计划设想为期两个月的停火。 特朗普周五致函美国国会,指由于自4月8日停火生效以来,冲突已"终止",因此他无须遵守战争需取得立法批准的期限,相关类似的义务时限亦随之暂停。 他声称,持续对伊朗港口实施的封锁并不构成冲突的延续。 按法律规定,美国总统在通知国会采取军事行动后,必须在60天内取得国会批准,否则须停止敌对行动。 周五正好是特朗普于3月2日正式通知国会对伊朗发动打击后的第60天;该行动发生在美国与以色列展开攻击后两天。 特朗普周五在一连串公开发言中,亦再次重申其一贯立场,称"伊朗永远不能拥有核武"。 特朗普发表最新言论之际,美国国会议员 -- -- 包括部分共和党人士 -- -- 对这场被许多人视为代价高昂、目标不明的战争,公开表达日益加深的不满。 密苏里州共和党参议员霍利(Josh Hawley)呼吁特朗普政府开始将部队重新部署、撤离冲突,并认为若战事持续,必须取得国会批准。 霍利说:"我其实不太想这么做。我想把事情收尾。" 另一名共和党参议员、来自阿拉斯加的穆尔科斯基(Lisa Murkowski) -- -- 特朗普的知名批评者 -- -- 则对行动的成效及任何潜在谈判表示质疑。 她表示:"尽管政府可能指出仍在进行谈判,但地面上的事态发展以及德黑兰方面释出的言辞,显示的是另一番景象。" 她又说:"但如果美国过于突然、过早地后退,我们几乎可以确定会让他们的关键能力得以保留。" 穆尔科斯基补充说:"这些都不是我愿意承担的风险。但答案也不是为另一场无止境的战争开出空白支票。".

美國中期選舉:選民將以經濟表現評判特朗普,目前形勢如何? - BBC News 中文
唐納德・特朗普(Donald Trump,川普)曾預測,美國和以色列在伊朗的戰爭不會持續超過六週。如今戰事已進入第三個月。 這場衝突引發了堪比1970年代石油危機的全球能源衝擊,推高了從燃料到食品等各類價格。 儘管對本已承受壓力的美國民眾造成了進一步負擔,本週公佈的最新GDP數據顯示,2026年前三個月美國經濟依然保持持續增長。 隨著第一季經濟成長數據帶來提振,而11月美國中期選舉逼近,戰事又未見終結跡象,BBC對影響總統施政評價的主要經濟指標進行了檢視。 在中期選舉前,特朗普將利用最新公佈的成長數據,為其經濟政策背書。 官方統計顯示,2026年第一季經濟按年率計算增長2%,在2025年底放緩後顯著反彈。 這是在美國關稅措施推高消費者價格,以及伊朗戰爭引發能源衝擊的壓力下取得的成績。 經濟學家表示,消費者受到的衝擊沒有預期的那麼嚴重,消費支出以年率計算增加了1.
