华盛顿——在特朗普总统威胁要消灭“整个文明”，除非伊朗同意开放霍尔木兹海峡，以及宣布为期两周的停火之间的数小时里，国会共和党议员大多对特朗普的威胁保持沉默。
这位总统给伊朗设定了周二晚上8点的最后期限，要求其重新开放这条全球石油贸易的关键航道，否则将面临针对其民用基础设施的打击。在最后期限前12小时，也就是他宣布停火前约11小时，特朗普在Truth Social平台上发布了一则充满不祥预兆的消息。
“今晚整个文明都将消亡，永远无法复返。我不希望这样的事情发生，但这很可能会成真，”他说道。
得克萨斯州众议员纳撒尼尔·莫兰似乎是国会首位表达不安的共和党人，他在周二下午表示，他“不支持消灭‘整个文明’”。
“这不是我们的本色，也与长期指导美国的原则不符，”他写道，并补充道，“我们如何保护无辜者的生命，与我们如何与敌人交战同样重要。”
阿拉斯加州共和党参议员丽莎·穆尔科斯基表示，特朗普的威胁“不能被辩解为试图在与伊朗的谈判中获取筹码”。
“相关各方——尤其是总统和伊朗领导人——必须在为时已晚之前缓和前所未有的战争叫嚣，”她在社交媒体帖子中说道。
最近从共和党转投无党派的加利福尼亚州众议员凯文·凯利也发表了看法，敦促特朗普不要升级局势。
“美国不会消灭文明。我们也不会将以此作为谈判策略进行威胁，”他写道。
大多数国会共和党人未发表谴责，这与数十名民主党人形成鲜明对比，后者呼吁通过第25修正案罢免特朗普，或因此番言论弹劾他。截至周二下午，参众两院已有70多名民主党人呼吁罢免特朗普，其中包括前众议院议长南希·佩洛西。
“唐纳德·特朗普的不稳定比以往任何时候都更加明显和危险，”这位加利福尼亚州民主党人在一份声明中说道。“如果内阁不愿援引第25修正案恢复理智，共和党人必须重新召集国会结束这场战争。”
康涅狄格州民主党众议员约翰·拉尔森周二下午宣布，他已提出针对特朗普的弹劾条款，尽管在共和党掌控多数席位的情况下，这一举措不可能成功。
一些曾是特朗普铁杆支持者的国会外保守派人士也谴责了总统的威胁。前众议员玛乔丽·泰勒·格林和阴谋论者亚历克斯·琼斯等人都呼吁罢免特朗普。
在晚上8点最后期限前不到两小时，特朗普宣布停火，前提是伊朗同意“全面、立即且安全地开放霍尔木兹海峡”，从而推迟了威胁发动的大规模袭击。
Few Republicans condemn Trump’s Iran threat as Democrats call for his removal

Washington— In the hours between President Trump threatening to eradicate a “whole civilization” unless Iran agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz and the announcement of a two-week ceasefire, Republicans in Congress remained mostly silent about Mr. Trump’s threat.
The president had given Iran a deadline of 8 p.m. Tuesday to reopen the strait, a critical channel for global oil trade, or face attacks on its civilian infrastructure. Twelve hours before the deadline, and about 11 hours before he announced a ceasefire, Mr. Trump posted an ominous message on Truth Social.
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” he said.
Rep. Nathaniel Moran of Texas appeared to be the first Republican in Congress to express unease, saying Tuesday afternoon that he does “not support the destruction of a ‘whole civilization.’”
“That is not who we are, and it is not consistent with the principles that have long guided America,” he wrote, adding that “how we protect the lives of the innocent is just as important as how we engage the enemy.”
Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said Mr. Trump’s threat “cannot be excused away as an attempt to gain leverage in negotiations with Iran.”
“Everyone involved—especially the President and Iran’s leaders—must de-escalate their unprecedented saber-rattling before it is too late,” she said in a social media post.
Rep. Kevin Kiley of California, who recently switched his party affiliation from Republican to independent, also weighed in, urging Mr. Trump against the escalation.
“The United States does not destroy civilizations. Nor do we threaten to do so as some sort of negotiating tactic,” he wrote.
The lack of condemnation from most congressional Republicans stood in stark contrast to the dozens of Democrats who called for Mr. Trump to be removed from office via the 25th Amendment or impeached over the rhetoric. By Tuesday afternoon, more than 70 Democrats in both chambers had called for his removal, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“Donald Trump’s instability is more clear and dangerous than ever,” the California Democrat said in a statement. “If the Cabinet is not willing to invoke the 25th Amendment and restore sanity, Republicans must reconvene Congress to end this war.”
Rep. John Larson, a Connecticut Democrat, announced Tuesday afternoon that he had introduced articles of impeachment against Mr. Trump, although that effort has no chance of succeeding with Republicans in the majority.
Some conservatives outside of Congress, who were once fervent Trump supporters, also condemned the president’s threats. Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones were among those calling for Mr. Trump’s removal.
Less than two hours before the 8 p.m. deadline, Mr. Trump announced the ceasefire, provided Iran agreed to the “COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz,” delaying the threatened large-scale attack.
