华盛顿6月7日电（路透社）——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普下令对伊朗发动打击14周后，美国军方正在适应一种不寻常的冲突状态：既非全面战争，也远未恢复和平。
在中东的舰艇和基地上，美军官兵——其中一些人仍在伤愈恢复中——每隔几天就会遭遇与伊朗的交火，与此同时美国海军正封锁伊朗港口。在美国本土，五角大楼正加紧生产耗尽的弹药，而军人家庭则在应对长期部署带来的精神压力。
伊朗持续对该地区的美国盟友发动反击，例如周五伊朗用弹道导弹袭击了巴林和科威特。
特朗普于4月宣布与伊朗停火，但这场战争已陷入僵局：伊朗基本封锁了霍尔木兹海峡，而特朗普威胁称，如果和平谈判失败，美国将恢复对伊朗的全面轰炸。
这种威胁要求美军保持高度戒备状态。
这意味着各项工作都要跟上：从在基地储存导弹和拦截弹，到通过无人机和卫星搜集情报以更新伊朗境内的目标清单，以防大规模战斗重新爆发。
“要维持这种时刻待命的‘十级’警戒状态，随时可以立即出动，是一项压力巨大且极为艰难的作战任务，”一位不愿透露姓名的美国官员说道。
美国前中央司令部司令约瑟夫·沃特尔将当前的冲突阶段描述为“对我们而言极其危险的时期”。他表示，在停火期间保持部队战备状态绝非易事。
“这给指挥官们带来了巨大压力，必须确保官兵们始终处于临战状态，”沃特尔说道。
当被置评请求时，五角大楼首席发言人肖恩·帕内尔表示，美军随时准备“以一切可想象的方式”支持部署在外的部队。
“战争部为我们英勇的官兵感到骄傲。他们的勇气、战备状态、坚韧不拔和无与伦比的专业素养，使他们成为人类历史上最强大的作战力量，”帕内尔说道。
对官兵及家属的影响
对于仍在伤愈恢复的美军官兵而言，美军转向长期战时状态需要他们做出深刻的调整。
37岁的美国陆军预备役军士长科里·希克斯就是伤者之一，他在战争初期的一次伊朗无人机袭击中身受重伤，曾一度心跳停止。
弹片刺穿了他的身体，切断了一条动脉并造成下颌骨折，同时他还在经受爆炸导致的创伤性脑损伤的影响，这可能会伴随他一生。
“那声音听起来像一架小型螺旋桨飞机快速飞来，”希克斯告诉路透社记者，“然后它径直撞进大楼并爆炸了。我记得有一团巨大的明亮火球，还有巨大的压力和热量，之后我就失去了意识。”
希克斯并非唯一一个适应新常态的人。他表示，自己正在马里兰州的沃尔特·里德国家军事医疗中心接受治疗，该医院正迎来阿富汗和伊拉克战争多年后新一轮的战伤救治高峰。
美军方面称，此次冲突中已有约400名美军官兵受伤，其中许多人与希克斯一样患有创伤性脑损伤。超过90%的伤者已重返岗位，另有13名军人在冲突中阵亡。
美军军属也在焦虑中煎熬，他们对停火期间发生的具体情况一无所知。
伊朗国家媒体定期发布袭击美国舰船和飞机的声明。周五伊朗称其在阿曼湾向美国军舰鸣枪示警，但美军否认发生过此类事件。
“完全不清楚到底发生了什么，真的很让人害怕，”亚迪拉·德桑特说道，她的儿子是来自加利福尼亚州圣费尔南多谷的一名陆军预备役军士。
德桑特要求不要透露儿子的身份，担心会遭到美军的报复。她曾抗议要求结束战争，这场冲突也损害了特朗普的支持率。
路透社/益普索5月的一项民调显示，仅有四分之一的受访者认为美国在伊朗的军事行动是值得的。
德桑特表示，她的儿子所在的阵地多次遭到伊朗无人机袭击，防空系统拦截无人机后，残骸散落在他周围。
“我每天都会发一条短信：‘早安，儿子。我爱你，’”德桑特说道，“偶尔我会收到‘我爱你，妈妈’或者‘我想你’之类的回复。”
持续存在的威胁
在美国与伊朗就开放霍尔木兹海峡进行谈判之际，该海峡在战前承担了全球20%的石油运输量。目前看来，双方达成的任何协议都有可能延长停火期限，同时推迟德黑兰的核计划等最棘手的问题。
这意味着紧张的对峙状态以及美军所承受的压力还将持续。
军事行动紧张的迹象在战争中巨大的弹药消耗上可见一斑。美国国防部长皮特·赫格斯塞特表示，全面补充美国的导弹和拦截弹库存可能需要数年时间。
华盛顿战略与国际研究中心导弹防御项目主任汤姆·卡拉科表示，受到侵蚀的不仅仅是库存。
“战争代价高昂。它不仅消耗导弹，还损耗装备和人员，”卡拉科说道。
回到马里兰州，希克斯与驻扎在中东的美军战友保持着联系，其中一些人对随着冲突拖延而不断延长的部署期限感到沮丧。
“他们现在的情况比以前好多了，威胁也没那么严重了，”他说道，指的是战斗规模有所缩减。
但希克斯永远忘不了在导致他受伤的科威特袭击事件中牺牲的六名战友，其中包括39岁的军士长妮可·阿莫尔。
“无人机袭击时我正和阿莫尔中士聊天，她离我大概只有10英尺远，”他说道，“这件事我这辈子都忘不了。”

US troops, families adjust to new normal of Iran war
2026-06-07T10:05:21.515Z / Reuters
WASHINGTON, June 7 (Reuters) – Fourteen weeks after President Donald Trump ordered an attack on Iran, the U.S. military is adjusting to an unusual state of conflict that is not full-scale war, but also far from peace.
On ships and bases in the Middle East, U.S. troops — some recovering from injuries — operate amid exchanges of fire with Iran every few days as the Navy blockades Iran’s ports. At home, the Pentagon is scrambling to bolster production of depleted munitions as families of service members cope with the stress of extended deployments.
Counterattacks from Iran continue against U.S. allies in the region, such as Bahrain and Kuwait, which Iran targeted in a ballistic missile attack on Friday.
Trump declared his ceasefire with Iran in April, but the war has settled into a stalemate, with Iran keeping the Strait of Hormuz largely closed to shipping and Trump threatening a return to full-scale bombings of Iran if peace negotiations fail.
The threat requires U.S. troops to maintain an acute state of readiness.
That means everything from stocking bases with missiles and interceptors to scouring intelligence from drones and satellites to update lists of targets inside Iran should large-scale fighting resume.
“To maintain this constant state of ‘Level 10’ alert vigilance, to be ready to go at the drop of a hat, is a very stressful and difficult operational mission,” said one U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Joseph Votel, the former commander of the U.S. military’s Central Command, described the current conflict phase as “a very, very dangerous period for us.” He said keeping troops ready during the ceasefire is no small challenge.
“It puts on a lot of pressure on leaders to make sure that people are still at their edge,” Votel said.
Asked for comment, chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the U.S. military stands ready to support deployed troops “in every way imaginable.”
“The Department of War is proud of our incredible troops. Their courage, readiness, grit, and unmatched professionalism are why they are the greatest fighting force in human history,” Parnell said.
TOLL ON TROOPS AND FAMILIES
For U.S. troops recovering from injuries, the military’s shift to an extended wartime footing requires a profound adjustment.
U.S. Army Reserve Sergeant First Class Cory Hicks, 37, is among the wounded recovering from an Iranian drone attack at the start of the war that left him without a pulse for minutes.
Punctured by shrapnel that severed an artery and fractured his jaw, Hicks is also wrestling with the impact of a traumatic brain injury from the blast that could challenge him for life.
“It sounded like a small prop plane coming in quick,” Hicks told Reuters. “And then it just smashed into the building and blew up. And I remember a big bright ball of flames and lots of pressure and heat, and I was out.”
Hicks is not the only one adapting to a new normal. Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland, where he is being treated, is coping with a new surge in combat care cases years after the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, Hicks said.
Around 400 U.S. troops have been wounded during the conflict, many of them with a traumatic brain injury like Hicks. Over 90% have returned to duty, the U.S. military says. Thirteen service members have been killed in the conflict.
Families of U.S. service members also confront stress amid confusion about what is happening during the ceasefire.
Iranian state media publishes claims regularly about attacking U.S. ships and aircraft. On Friday, Iran said it fired warning shots at U.S. warships in the Gulf of Oman, an event the U.S. military denies happened.
“It’s just really scary not to know details of what exactly is going on,” said Yadira Dessaint, mother of a sergeant in the Army Reserve from California’s San Fernando Valley.
Dessaint asked not to identify her son for fear of retaliation by the U.S. military. She has protested for an end to the war, which has damaged Trump’s popularity.
Just one in four respondents in a May Reuters/Ipsos poll said the U.S. military action in Iran has been worth it.
Dessaint said her son has seen multiple attacks on his position by Iranian drones, their debris falling around him after being intercepted by air defenses.
“I tend to send a text every day: ‘Good morning, son. I love you,’” Dessaint said. “Every so often, I get ‘I love you mom’ or ‘I miss you’ or something.”
PERSISTENT THREAT
As the United States and Iran negotiate a potential deal to open the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil transited before the war, it looks increasingly likely that any agreement would extend the ceasefire while delaying some of the thorniest issues, such as Tehran’s nuclear program.
That suggests the tense standoff and the demands on the U.S. military will continue.
The signs of strain on military operations are visible in the huge expenditure of munitions for the war. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said it could take years to fully replenish U.S. inventories of missiles and interceptors.
Tom Karako, director of the Missile Defense Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C., said it is not just inventories that are eroding.
“Wars are expensive. They grind on the equipment and the people, as well as the missiles that are shot,” Karako said.
Back in Maryland, Hicks stays in touch with fellow U.S. soldiers in the Middle East, some frustrated by deployments that are being extended as the conflict drags on.
“They’re doing a lot better now than they were. The threat is not as bad,” he said, referring to the reduced scale of fighting.
But Hicks carries the memory of six fellow soldiers who died in the Kuwait attack that injured him, including Sergeant First Class Nicole Amor, 39.
“I was talking to Sergeant Amor when the drone hit. She was maybe 10 feet away from me,” he said. “It’s something that I’m going to have to deal with the rest of my life.”
