美国军方表示，周三在加勒比海对一艘涉嫌走私毒品的船只发动了打击，造成4人死亡。与此同时，特朗普政府在对伊朗发动战争的同时，正推进针对拉丁美洲所谓毒贩的长达数月的行动。
自特朗普政府于9月初开始将其所谓的“贩毒恐怖分子”列为打击目标以来，美军船只打击行动已造成至少163人死亡。加勒比海和东太平洋地区已有约47艘船只被打击。
与军方对数十起船只打击行动的大多数声明一样，美国南方司令部表示，他们是沿着已知的走私路线打击涉嫌毒贩的。军方未提供该船只正运送毒品的证据。X平台上发布的一段视频显示，一艘船在水面移动后被明亮的爆炸吞噬。
军方称，该船只由一个指定的外国恐怖组织运营。军方没有透露该组织的名称，但特朗普政府已将几个拉丁美洲贩毒集团列为恐怖组织。
特朗普总统称美国正与贩毒集团处于“武装冲突”状态，并将这些袭击辩护为阻止毒品流入美国和致命吸毒过量导致美国人死亡的必要升级措施。他的政府将船上人员描述为“非法战斗人员”，这与乔治·W·布什政府用来描述基地组织成员和其他恐怖组织成员的称号相同。
“对贩毒集团施加全面系统性压力。”美国南方司令部周三表示。
批评人士质疑船只打击行动的整体合法性及其有效性，部分原因是导致许多致命吸毒过量的芬太尼通常是通过陆路从墨西哥运往美国的，而墨西哥的芬太尼生产使用的是从中国和印度进口的化学品。
尽管美军集中精力在中东开展行动——美国军舰和飞机在那里对伊朗发动空袭——船只打击行动仍在拉丁美洲持续进行。第82空降师的更多海军陆战队员和士兵要么正在准备部署，要么已在前往该地区的途中。
自1月初美军抓获前委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗并将其飞往纽约面临毒品指控以来，船只打击行动的频率有所放缓。自那次行动以来，已有12艘涉嫌贩毒的船只被打击，其中8艘在太平洋航行而非加勒比海。
U.S. strike on alleged drug boat kills 4 in the Caribbean Sea, military says

The U.S. military said it carried out a strike Wednesday on a boat accused of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean Sea, killing four people, as the Trump administration pushes forward with a monthslong campaign against alleged traffickers in Latin America while waging a war against Iran.
The latest attack brings the number of people who have been killed in boat strikes by the U.S. military to at least 163 since the Trump administration began targeting those it calls “narcoterrorists” in early September. Some 47 boats have been struck in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean.
As with most of the military’s statements on the dozens of boat strikes, U.S. Southern Command said it targeted the alleged drug traffickers along known smuggling routes. The military did not provide evidence that the vessel was ferrying drugs. A video posted on X showed a boat moving across the water before it was engulfed in a bright explosion.
The military said the boat was operated by a designated foreign terrorist organization. It didn’t name the group, but the Trump administration has labeled several Latin American drug cartels as terrorist groups.
President Trump has said the U.S. is in “armed conflict” with cartels and has justified the attacks as a necessary escalation to stem the flow of drugs into the United States and fatal overdoses claiming American lives. His administration has described the individuals aboard the boats as “unlawful combatants,” the same designation used by President George W. Bush’s administration to describe members of al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations.
“Applying total systemic friction on the cartels,” U.S. Southern Command said Wednesday.
Critics have questioned the overall legality of the boat strikes as well as their effectiveness, in part because the fentanyl behind many fatal overdoses is typically trafficked to the U.S. over land from Mexico, where it is produced with chemicals imported from China and India.
The boat strikes have continued in Latin America even as the U.S. military has focused on operations in the Middle East, where American warships and planes have been pounding Iran with strikes. Additional Marines and soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division are either preparing to deploy or on their way to the region.
The tempo of boat strikes has slowed somewhat since early January, when U.S. forces captured former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and flew him to New York to face drug charges. Since that operation, 12 alleged drug boats have been struck, eight of which were traveling in the Pacific rather than the Caribbean.
