华盛顿讯—— 科罗拉多州民主党众议员杰森·克劳周日表示,美国应当就对伊朗战争的战略问题展开更广泛思考,同时批评美国在中东长期陷入冲突的过往记录。
“我们不擅长设置退路,也不擅长在中东做出重大战略决策,”克劳在接受《玛格丽特·布伦南直面全国》节目采访时说道。
随着对伊朗战争进入第60天,特朗普总统上周晚些时候告诉国会领导人,与伊朗的“敌对行动”已经“终止”。尽管4月初达成了停火协议,美国仍对伊朗港口实施了海军封锁——此举被视为战争行为——并威胁即将重启空袭。
周六,特朗普总统表示他正在审查伊朗提出的一项新和平提议。但他强调自己不太可能接受该提议,因为“他们尚未付出足够惨重的代价”。与此同时,特朗普表示,美国对霍尔木兹海峡的封锁将持续到达成结束战争的协议为止。
当被问及如果不打通霍尔木兹海峡,对伊朗的战争能否结束时,克劳指出伊朗正封锁这条关键航道,而美国则在封锁伊朗的封锁行动。但更广泛地说,他认为“我们所有人都应该扪心自问的真正问题是:美国真的想要在中东再继续冲突5年、10年、20年吗?”
“作为一个国家,我们混淆了战术与战略,”克劳说。“围绕伊朗的大多数讨论都聚焦于战术——我们应该实施封锁吗?我们该如何反击无人机?”
这位科罗拉多州民主党议员援引美国此前在中东的冲突称,“我们在伊拉克和阿富汗花费了数万亿美元,结果是在阿富汗用塔利班替换了塔利班,在伊拉克用萨达姆·侯赛因的倒台换来了伊斯兰国。”他表示,伊朗只是美国在该地区难以找到退路的又一个例证。
“所以让我们真正谈谈战略,谈谈我们在这里试图达成的目标,而不是一直围绕封锁展开讨论,”他补充道。
此番表态此前,国防部长皮特·赫格斯上周在国会委员会作证,介绍五角大楼1.5万亿美元的预算申请。克劳周日表示,他将反对这项拨款,辩称“我们不需要这笔钱”。
“我们已经为弹药库存提供了资金,而我不会做的是延续这种模式,就像我们在伊拉克和阿富汗那样,把钱打水漂,持续为那些永远不会结束、最终也不会给美国带来好结果的冲突提供资金,”克劳说。“我们在伊拉克和阿富汗就是这么做的。总有人该说,够了。”
克劳补充道:“在一位没有告诉我们战略是什么、没有前往国会寻求授权、甚至没有向美国人民阐明他试图达成什么目标的总统领导下,我不会为延续这种循环开出空白支票。我不会这么做。”
Rep. Jason Crow says U.S. is “not good at having off ramps” in Middle East conflicts

Washington — Democratic Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado said Sunday that the U.S should be considering a broader question of strategy in the war with Iran, while criticizing the U.S.’ track record of prolonged conflicts in the Middle East.
“We are not good at having off ramps and accomplishing large strategic decisions in the Middle East,” Crow said on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan”.
President Trump told congressional leaders late last week that “hostilities” with Iran have “terminated” as the war reached the 60-day mark. And despite a ceasefire brokered in early April, the U.S. has enforced a naval blockade on Iranian ports — considered an act of war — while threatening to imminently restart strikes.
On Saturday, the president said he was reviewing a new peace proposal from Iran. But he stressed that he was unlikely to accept the offer because “they have not yet paid a big enough price.” Meanwhile, Mr. Trump has said that the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will remain in effect until a deal can be reached to end the war.
Asked whether the war with Iran can end without clearing the Strait of Hormuz, Crow noted that Iran is blocking the key waterway, and the U.S. is blockading their blockade. But more broadly, he argued that “the real question that we should all be asking is, does America really want to continue to have conflict in the Middle East for another 5, 10, 20 years?”
“We have confused, as a nation, tactics versus strategy,” Crow said. “Most of the conversation around Iran is about tactics — Should we blockade? How do we counter drones?” Crow said.
The Colorado Democrat cited previous conflicts in the Middle East, saying “we spent trillions of dollars in Iraq and Afghanistan to replace the Taliban with the Taliban, in Iraq to replace Saddam Hussein with ISIS.” He said Iran is “just yet another example” of the U.S. struggling to find an off-ramp in the region.
“So let’s actually talk strategy and what it is we’re trying to accomplish here, instead of having a constant discussion around blockades,” he added.
The comments come after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth testified before congressional committees last week on the Pentagon’s $1.5 trillion budget request. Crow said on Sunday that he would oppose the funding, arguing that “we don’t need that money.”
“We have already funded munition stockpiles amounts, and what I am not going to do is continue the pattern, like we continued in Iraq and Afghanistan, of throwing good money after bad and constantly funding conflicts that never end and will not end up in a good result for America,” Crow said. “That is exactly what we did in Iraq and Afghanistan. And somebody has to say, enough is enough.”
Crow added, “In a president that hasn’t told us what the strategy is, hasn’t come to Congress for authorization, hasn’t even articulated to the American people what he’s trying to accomplish, I am not going to write blank checks to have that cycle continue. I’m not going to do it.”
