伊朗袭击巴林与科威特美军基地以报复美军空袭Iran Strikes US Bases in Bahrain and Kuwait Following US Airstrikes

周日凌晨，科威特首都科威特城拉响防空警报。巴林与科威特两国均证实，其境内目标遭到来自伊朗的无人机和导弹袭击。伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队随后发表声明，承认在周日凌晨发动了此次袭击，以报复美军此前对伊朗领土的空袭。革命卫队声称，其行动摧毁了科威特阿里·萨利姆基地以及巴林苏勒曼港第五舰队海军基地内的八处重要美军设施。

Air raid sirens sounded in Kuwait City early Sunday morning as both Bahrain and Kuwait confirmed that their territories had been targeted by Iranian drone and missile fire. Iran's paramilitary Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) subsequently issued a statement through state media, claiming responsibility for the overnight strikes. The IRGC stated that the operation was launched in direct retaliation for preceding U.S. airstrikes on Iranian territory. According to the IRGC, the strikes successfully destroyed eight key U.S. military facilities, specifically targeting the Ali al-Salem base in Kuwait and the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet base at Port Salman in Bahrain.

尽管伊朗方面宣称取得了重大战果，并警告任何进一步的敌对侵略都将遭到“毁灭性回击”，但美方目前的评估显示，袭击并未造成严重后果。美国军方报告称，目前尚无美方人员伤亡，美军驻地也未出现重大影响或设施受损的报告。

Despite Iran's claims of extensive destruction and its warning that any further enemy aggression would face a "crushing response," U.S. officials reported minimal impact. The U.S. military stated that there are currently no reported American casualties, major impacts, or significant damage to any U.S. locations in either country.

在伊朗发动报复性袭击之前，美军中央司令部在总统特朗普的授权下，出动海军和空军战机对霍尔木兹海峡内及附近的10个伊朗军事目标实施了空袭。美军打击的设施分布在多个地点，具体包括监视基础设施、通信系统、防空阵地、无人机存储设施以及布雷能力。美方表示，此次军事行动是对周六早些时候一艘悬挂巴拿马国旗的“Kiku”号商用油轮在海峡内遭到单向袭击无人机打击的直接回应。该油轮当时正为卡塔尔国营能源公司运送原油，而卡塔尔正是美伊两国间的重要斡旋国。

Prior to Iran's retaliatory action, U.S. Central Command, acting under the authorization of President Donald Trump, deployed Navy and Air Force fighter jets to strike 10 Iranian military targets at multiple locations in and near the Strait of Hormuz. According to U.S. military statements, the precision strikes targeted critical military assets, including surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities. The Pentagon characterized the operation as a direct response to continued aggression against commercial shipping, specifically citing a Saturday morning one-way drone attack that struck the MT Kiku, a Panama-flagged tanker transporting crude oil for Qatar's state-run energy company, which has served as a key mediator between Washington and Tehran.

此次冲突的深层根源在于围绕霍尔木兹海峡航线控制权的长期争端。霍尔木兹海峡作为连接波斯湾的狭窄通道，曾承载着全球五分之一的石油和天然气运输。在冲突爆发前，一个由美国海军监管的多国海上机构于周六宣布，将扩大阿曼附近海域的航线以容纳双向交通，试图在没有伊朗直接监管的情况下重新开放该海峡。然而，伊朗坚称战后应由其独自管理该海峡，否定了国际社会长期以来将该海峡视为自由通行国际水域的共识。近日，在联合国机构支持的阿曼航线上，已连续发生两起通过该航线的船只遭德黑兰方面袭击的事件。

The exchange of fire underscores a deeper, unresolved dispute over the governance of the strategic shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow chasm that historically carried one-fifth of the world's oil and natural gas. Tensions flared after a U.S. Navy-led multinational maritime body announced on Saturday that it would expand a shipping route near Oman to accommodate both inbound and outbound traffic, aiming to bypass direct Iranian oversight. Iran, however, insists that it alone must govern the strait once the war ends, challenging decades of international consensus designating the passage as free international waters. In the days leading up to the current escalation, Tehran had already launched two separate attacks on commercial vessels utilizing the United Nations-backed Oman route.

在相互打击发生后，美伊双方均指责对方违反了6月18日签署的停火备忘录。美国中央司令部在一份声明中表示，美方曾给予伊朗遵守停火协议的机会，但伊朗军队却选择使用单向攻击无人机袭击“Kiku”号油轮，从而破坏了这一机会。美国总统特朗普在社交媒体上证实了美军的空袭行动，指责伊朗再次违反了停火协议。他警告称，在特定情况下，美国可能无法再保持克制，并可能被迫“在军事上彻底完成任务”。

Following the exchange of fire, both the United States and Iran accused each other of violating the ceasefire memorandum of understanding signed on June 18. U.S. Central Command stated that Iran had been given an opportunity to honor the ceasefire agreement but chose not to when its forces launched a one-way attack drone that struck the tanker MT Kiku. Confirming the U.S. airstrikes, President Donald Trump posted on social media that the action was taken because Iran had violated the ceasefire agreement "AGAIN!" Trump warned of a potential point where the U.S. would no longer be able to remain reasonable and "will be forced to militarily complete the job."

针对美方的指责，伊朗外交部发表声明予以强烈反击，谴责美军的空袭是公然违反停火备忘录的行为。伊朗外交部表示，美方的行动再次表明美国政府并不重视其做出的承诺，且违背诺言已成为其本性。此次相互指责与军事升级，使双方签署不到两周的停火协议面临严峻考验，也暴露出华盛顿与德黑兰之间极其脆弱的信任关系。

In response, Iran's Foreign Ministry issued a statement condemning the U.S. airstrikes as a "clear violation" of the June 18 agreement. The ministry asserted that the strikes demonstrated once again that the U.S. regime places no value on its commitments and that breaking promises is part of its nature. These mutual recriminations and military actions have severely strained the fragile truce, which was signed less than two weeks ago in an effort to bring an end to the four-month-old war.

此次军事升级已对旨在结束这场四个月战争的外交努力构成直接威胁。伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队明确警告称，如果华盛顿继续对伊朗领土发动袭击，将导致双方之间所有外交进程的“完全停止”。这一表态使得刚刚签署不到两周的停火备忘录以及后续的和平谈判陷入极度不确定的境地，双方通过对话解决冲突的渠道面临关闭的风险。

The military escalation has directly threatened the diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the four-month-old war. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that a continuation of American attacks would result in a complete halt of all diplomatic processes and peace negotiations between Washington and Tehran. This warning places the fragile ceasefire memorandum of understanding, signed less than two weeks ago, under its most severe strain yet, risking a total breakdown of the communication channels established to resolve the conflict.

尽管当前局势再度紧张，但中东问题专家对地区长远走向给出了相对温和的评估。战略与国际研究中心高级研究员、前中东研究所所长保罗·塞勒姆指出，中东地区的停火往往意味着“火势减弱”而非“完全熄灭”。他评估认为，当前的冲突虽然激烈，但其规模和范围已无法与战争初期的全面冲突相比。地区局势实际上仍处于从大规模战争向长期停火或某种和平状态过渡的进程中，整体危机依然在向缓和方向发展。

Despite the renewed hostilities, Middle East experts offer a more tempered outlook on the regional trajectory. Paul Salem, a senior associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and former president of the Middle East Institute, noted that ceasefires in the region often signify a reduction in fire rather than a total cessation of hostilities. Salem assessed that the current exchange of strikes does not match the scale or scope of the earlier war. He suggested that the region remains in a transition from large-scale war toward a long-term ceasefire or a peace of sorts, with the broader crisis still moving toward de-escalation.
