介绍： Growing tensions in the Gulf sparking new arguments on Capitol Hill. Iranian provocations are the result of President Trump withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear agreement, say Democrats. That this was eminently predictable. In fact, that the intelligence could have and did warn of exactly these kind of increased risks of conflict with Iran if we pursued the course that we have been pursuing for the last two years.
But Iranian aggression is a sign the Trump administration’s tough sanctions policy is working, Republicans said. And what the administration is doing effectively correctly is increasing the maximum pressure on them, keeping the maximum pressure campaign going and it’s very important we do that. It’s very important that the Iranians recognize and understand that we will defend freedom of navigation that will defend the Straits of Hormuz, will defend our interests and the interests of our allies. The hope is for peace, a State Department diplomat told lawmakers.

We have put the possibility of a much brighter future on the table for the Iranian people and we mean it.

港湾地区剑拔弩张，这种形势引发了最近美国国会的讨论。伊朗之所以挑衅是因为特朗普总统退出了2015年的核协议，一些民主党议员如是说道。早就料到有这一天了。实际上，情报部门本可以预警与伊朗冲突威胁的升级，而且情报部门也确实预警过这件事，除非美国能摒弃过去2年间的种种做法。
不过，伊朗的挑衅行为表明特朗普政府的严厉制裁政策生效了，一些共和党议员如是说道。特朗普政府做了一件正确又有效的事情——对伊朗实行了最大压力政策，而且一直保持这样的政策，这件事非常重要。有一件事很重要——伊朗要认识到我们美国会捍卫航行自由，捍卫霍尔木兹海峡，捍卫自身利益及盟友利益。我们希望实现和平，国务院某外交官这样对一些议员们说道。
我们把更光明未来的选择摆在明面儿上让伊朗人民选择，我们是认真的。
