U.S. Media: U.S. Military Commander in the Middle East Reports "For the First Time" to Trump on Military Action Plans Against Iran
【环球网报道】据美国Axios新闻网报道，据美国官员及知情人士透露，美国在中东地区的最高军事指挥官、美国中央司令部司令布拉德·库珀当地时间2月26日向美国总统特朗普汇报了对伊朗采取军事行动的各种方案。
报道称，这是自去年12月美伊紧张局势加剧以来，库珀首次向特朗普进行汇报。美国官员称，参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩也出席了简报会。
Axios称，库珀向特朗普汇报之际，美国与伊朗同日在瑞士日内瓦举行了第三轮间接谈判。特朗普政府内部许多人认为，在特朗普决定是否对伊朗发动战争之前，此次谈判是最后一次外交努力。美国高级官员向Axios表示，谈判进展较为“积极”，但未立即提供更多细节。伊朗外长阿拉格齐称，26日与美国的谈判在部分议题上达成共识，其他议题仍存分歧，下周将举行新一轮会谈。
美媒称，随着美军在伊朗周边集结的兵力规模越来越大，外界分析认为，美国总统特朗普对伊朗动手的可能性与日俱增。从空中隐形战斗机、预警机和加油机的陆续汇合，到海上两个航母打击群的相继到位，美军已经在中东完成“数十年来最大规模集结”。美国彭博社24日刊发前北约最高盟军司令斯塔夫里迪斯的分析称，美军已经做好了对伊朗动武的准备。
