Donald Trump approves strikes on Iran, but then abruptly pulls back

特朗普最初批准对伊朗发动军事打击，随后突然撤回命令

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump approved military strikes against Iran in retaliation for downing a US surveillance drone, but pulled back from launching them Thursday night after a day of escalating tensions.

华盛顿: 特朗普总统本来批准对伊朗进行军事打击的，以报复其击落一架美国无人侦察机，但在紧张局势升级后，于周四晚撤回了命令。

As late as 7pm Thursday, military and diplomatic officials were expecting a strike, after intense discussions and debate at the White House among the president's top national security officials and congressional leaders, according to multiple senior administration officials involved in or briefed on the deliberations.

据多名参与或听取了相关讨论简报的政府高级官员透露，直到周四晚7点，军方和外交官员还预期袭击将会进行。此前，总统的国家安全高级官员和国会领导人在白宫进行了激烈的讨论和辩论。

Officials said the president had initially approved attacks on a handful of Iranian targets, like radar and missile batteries.

官员们表示，总统最初批准对位于伊朗的一些目标发动攻击，比如雷达和导弹装置。

But the action was then abruptly called off for the evening, putting a halt to what would have been the president's third military action against targets in the Middle East. Trump had struck twice at targets in Syria, in 2017 and 2018.

但随后，突然在当晚取消了该行动，叫停了针对中东目标的第三次军事行动。特朗普曾在2017年和2018年对叙利亚的目标发动了两次袭击。

It was not clear whether Trump simply changed his mind on the strikes or whether the administration altered course because of logistics or strategy. It was also not clear whether the attacks might still go forward.

目前尚不清楚特朗普是仅仅改变了发动袭击的想法，还是因为后勤或战略原因而改变了策略。目前尚不清楚袭击行动是否还会重启。

Firstly, what is the need for USA to intimidate any nation with a drone which is fully capable of spying, attacking, hitting a target, surveillance and all kind of possible military actions under cover? India regularly spanks Pakistanee drones.

美国有必要用具备侦察、攻击、监视的隐形无人机来恐吓其他国家吗?印度经常击落巴基斯坦的无人机。

Most American Presidents are foolish. Take the case of George W Bush. After 9/11, had he gone into Pakistan instead of Afghanistan, there would have been no Isl-mic terrorism in the world today.
