在擴大海上封鎖之際，美軍尋求限制伊朗陸路貿易

華盛頓，11月7日（路透社）——美軍週六表示，在對伊朗實施數月海上封鎖的基礎上，將成立一支特遣隊，協助打擊德黑蘭透過陸地邊境和裏海運送先進武器及其他受制裁物資的活動。WASHINGTON, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Building on a months-long naval blockade on Iran, the US military said on Saturday it is launching a task force to help crack down on Tehran's movement of advanced weapons and other sanctioned material over its land borders and through the Caspian Sea.

由路透社率先報導的「鐵門特遣隊」（Task Force Iron Gate）將設於佛羅里達州坦帕，並將與其他美國政府機構協調。除了武器運送之外，該特遣隊也將著重於阻止伊朗使用的雙用途技術流通，並遏止華府所稱的非法收入來源。Task Force Iron Gate, which was first reported by Reuters, will be based in Tampa, Florida, and will coordinate with other US government agencies. Beyond movement of weapons, it will also focus on halting the flow of dual-use technologies used by Iran and stemming what Washington calls illegal revenue streams.

這支特遣隊的成立，是美國仍在尋找方法加大對德黑蘭施壓的最新例證；美國與以色列對伊朗伊斯蘭共和國發動戰爭，至今已超過8個月。The establishment of the task force is the latest illustration of how the US is still searching for ways to increase pressure on Tehran, more than eight months after launching with Israel a war against the Islamic Republic.

雖然美國的打擊已重創伊朗常規軍力，美國海上封鎖也嚴重限制伊朗經由荷姆茲海峽和阿拉伯海出口原油，但伊朗仍對區域構成強大威脅，其統治者也已加強對國內的掌控。While US strikes have dealt devastating blows to Iran's conventional military and the US naval blockade has severely restricted its crude exports through the Strait of Hormuz and the Arabian Sea, Iran still poses a formidable threat to the region and its rulers have tightened their grip on the country.

伊朗的祕密網絡IRAN'S SECRET NETWORK

路透社一項調查發現，伊朗已建立一個由軍事機構組成的祕密網絡，自2025年1月以來進口價值至少20億美元的硬體設備、炸藥和重型卡車，規避了美國海上封鎖和西方制裁。A Reuters investigation found Iran has created a secret network of military agencies to import at least $2 billion in hardware, explosives and heavy-duty trucks since January 2025, evading both the US naval blockade and Western sanctions.

路透社調查顯示，這些物資經由貨船從俄羅斯橫渡裏海進入伊朗，也透過卡車從中亞運入，並由貨機從中國運抵。The material entered Iran by cargo ship across the Caspian Sea from Russia, by truck from Central Asia, and by freight planes from China, the Reuters investigation showed.

美國中央司令部表示，這支特遣隊將與其他政府機構協調。一名不願具名的美國軍方官員表示，預計參與機構將包括財政部、國務院和司法部，以及情報界。US Central Command said the task force will coordinate with other government agencies. A US military official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that was expected to include the Treasury, State and Justice Departments but also the intelligence community.

美國中央司令部司令、海軍上將布萊德・庫柏在聲明中說：「強化中央司令部與美國跨部會夥伴的合作，將進一步限制伊朗資助恐怖主義、重建武器工廠和補充軍力的能力。」"Strengthening CENTCOM’s collaboration with US interagency partners will further constrain Iran’s ability to finance terrorism, rebuild weapons factories, and replenish their military," Admiral Brad Cooper, the commander of Central Command, said in a statement.

美國中央司令部估計，其海上封鎖已阻止伊朗出口價值超過250億美元的原油。Central Command estimated that its naval blockade has prevented Iran from exporting more than $25 billion in crude oil.

儘管如此，伊朗已展現韌性，並在美國期中選舉結果懲罰川普所屬的共和黨、使國會控制權落入反對黨民主黨手中後大肆嘲諷。副總統J.D.范斯將選舉慘敗歸咎於伊朗戰爭，並似乎質疑這場衝突是否值得。Still, Iran has proven resilient and gloated following US midterm election results that punished Trump's Republican Party, giving control of Congress to opposition Democrats. Vice President JD Vance blamed the Iran war for electoral rout, and appeared to question whether the conflict was worth it.

由於外界擔心美國期中選舉後戰火可能重燃，調停人士近日加緊努力，希望結束伊朗與美國之間的戰爭。Mediators have intensified efforts in recent days to end the war between Iran and the United States ⁠amid fears it could reignite after the US midterm elections.

川普近來一直威脅將對伊朗發動新攻勢，使波斯灣國家繃緊神經，因為德黑蘭已揚言將對海灣基礎設施進行廣泛報復。Trump has been threatening to carry out a new offensive against Iran, putting countries in the Gulf on edge, since Tehran has threatened broad retaliation against Gulf infrastructure.

路透社報導，美國近幾個月的情報評估顯示，若恢復對伊朗的打擊，不會從根本上改變德黑蘭的談判立場，也不會導致伊朗政府垮台。Reuters has reported that US intelligence assessments in recent months have indicated that renewed strikes on Iran would not fundamentally change Tehran's negotiating position or lead to the fall of Iran's government.
