The top commander of the U.S. Central Command reports to Trump on military options against Iran.
当地时间2月26日，美国中央司令部司令布拉德·库珀上将当天向特朗普总统汇报针对伊朗的军事行动选项。美军中央司令部司令是美军在中东地区级别最高的军事指挥官。这是自去年12月伊朗危机升级以来，库珀首次向特朗普作相关简报。
知情官员称，美军参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩也出席了简报会。此前，特朗普已下令在中东地区大规模增兵，并正考虑是否对伊朗发起军事行动。
此次简报正值美伊第三轮核谈判结束之际。美方一名高级官员称谈判“积极”，但未透露更多细节。伊朗外长阿拉格齐表示，双方在部分议题上达成理解，但仍存在分歧，下一轮谈判将于下周举行，并将在维也纳展开技术层面磋商。
美国副总统万斯当天则表示，即便特朗普考虑对伊朗采取军事打击行动，也“绝无可能”让美国陷入一场持续多年的中东战争。万斯称，他本人一直是“对外国军事干预持怀疑态度的人”，并强调任何可能的军事行动都将是有限、可控的，不会演变为长期冲突。（央视记者 刘旭）
