从基地遇袭到大使馆被包围破坏、从无人机猎杀军队二把手到飞弹反击，波斯湾（Persian Gulf）局势再次被美国与伊朗两国炒热，彷彿随时都可能会出现「最后一根稻草」。

原订台北时间零时开始的记者会，川普足足迟到了30分钟，才气喘吁吁地抵达现场。

一进场就再次强调，只要他担任总统的一天，伊朗就没有机会拥有核武。

「我确认伊朗的攻击，并没有任何美国人或伊拉克人受伤死亡。感谢事前充足的准备和训练，以及早期预警系统的有效启用。」

Donald Trump says Iran must "abandon its nuclear ambitions and end its support for terrorism"

The US president adds that it's time for "the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia and China" to "break away" from the Iran nuclear dealhttps://t.co/FOtqFnAZzZ pic.twitter.com/YAndeiFN1W

川普在演说中，抨击伊朗从美国获得大量资金和援助，却利用这些资助，到叙利亚、黎巴嫩、叶门发展恐怖活动。

呼吁北约（NATO）更深入介入中东地区，美国是全世界最大产油国，早就不需要从中东进口。

美国拥有高额国防经费，也有众多最新科技的飞弹与武器。「虽然我们拥有，不代表我们就必须使用。」虽然美军一直都做好万全准备，但在他看来、目前的伊朗已准备退让，希望能将伊朗转变成一个和平且发展的国家。

结束约8分钟的演说后，川普掉头离开会场，完全不给予在场记者有额外发问机会。

虽然美国总统川普（Donald Trump）和伊朗外交部长扎裡夫（Mohammad Javad Zarif）在袭击后，第一时间内透过推特表示，暗指两国对峙冲突将可能告一段落。

但始终并未做出正式回应的川普，稍早白宫也发出声明，表示总统将于台北时间9日零时，在椭圆形办公室对全美民众发表演说。

从福斯新闻网的演说前报导能发现，目前执政的共和党，大批参众议员力挺川普的行动和命令，反批前朝欧巴马（Barack Obama）总统对伊朗和相关恐怖份子的放任态度。

President Trump will give a speech about Iran’s missile attacks at U.S. forces posted at bases in Iraq, as the world waits for a response from an unpredictable commander-in-chief that should indicate whether the conflict will spiral further toward war. https://t.co/l5Ta7ZLCmz

All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning.

When it comes to the death of General Soleimani, there is no one to blame but himself.

He effectively signed his own death warrant by planning massive attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and throughout the Middle East.
