周六黎明前对伊朗目标发动的首轮美军导弹打击中，使用的是战斧导弹——这是一种从海军舰艇和潜艇发射的远程巡航导弹。
战斧导弹长度约为标准电线杆的一半，飞行速度与商用客机相当，可携带一枚重1000磅的弹头，射程足以覆盖从华盛顿特区到迈阿密的距离。
这些导弹从数百英里外部署的驱逐舰或潜艇上发射，使总统能够在不将飞行员送入争议空域或部署地面部队的情况下，迅速对危机做出回应。
战斧导弹因其精准性和灵活性，同时又能将美国军事行动的规模控制在较小范围，已成为有限军事行动的首选武器。这些导弹能够高精度打击固定目标，从而降低了局势全面升级的风险。
无论是民主党还是共和党的总统，都在军事行动的最初数小时内使用战斧导弹，从20世纪90年代对伊拉克的打击，到近期在叙利亚及其他地区的行动均是如此。
国防官员和军事分析师表示，这种武器的远程打击能力、可靠性以及对美国人员相对较低的风险，使其成为白宫希望快速传递信息但又避免全面战争时的理想首选打击武器。
速度、射程与精准性的结合，使战斧导弹数十年来一直是美国军事规划的核心。

自20世纪80年代以来，由国防巨头雷神公司（现RTX）制造的战斧导弹一直是海军武器库中的主力。它于1991年海湾战争期间首次投入实战，此后成为总统寻求从远程发动打击、同时避免美军人员陷入危险境地的首选武器。
“无论哪届政府上台，无论年份如何更迭，战斧都是总统在危机中首先考虑的远程陆地攻击巡航导弹，”战略与国际研究中心导弹防御项目主任托马斯·卡拉科告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
但频繁使用也带来了损耗。“我们使用它们的频率远远高于生产它们的速度，”卡拉科说。
在周六的行动之前，该导弹于2025年6月在美国对伊朗核设施的打击中被使用。
（路透社）2026年2月28日，在巴林麦纳麦，在美以打击伊朗后，烟雾在据称伊朗导弹袭击后升起。
总体而言，战斧导弹已被部署超过2350次。
每枚战斧导弹造价约140万美元，射程为800至1553英里，可从140多艘美国海军舰艇和潜艇上发射。
此次战斧导弹打击只是美国在该地区更广泛军事部署的一部分。
在发动打击之前，美国军方在伊朗“后院”集结了特朗普此前称之为“舰队”的庞大力量。这些部署横跨波斯湾及以外地区，彰显了美国以可信实力为后盾的精准施压策略。

此次部署正值华盛顿与德黑兰就伊朗有争议的核计划进行间接谈判之际。特朗普警告称，伊朗政权必须完全拆除其核设施，否则将面临后果。
美军的核心力量是两支航空母舰打击群——“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号和“杰拉尔德·R·福特”号，每支打击群均由导弹驱逐舰和巡洋舰提供支持，具备持续的空中和导弹作战能力。

据国防官员称，另有十余艘美国军舰也在该地区执行支援任务。
目前尚不清楚德黑兰将如何或何时回应，尽管伊朗领导人此前曾警告称，如果美国直接卷入军事行动，伊朗将实施报复。

US strike on Iran opens with Tomahawk missiles: What to know the weapon | Fox News
By Amanda Macias | Fox News
Published February 28, 2026 12:32pm EST
The first missile in the U.S. arsenal used against Iranian targets in Saturday’s pre-dawn strike was the Tomahawk, a long-range cruise missile launched from Navy ships and submarines.
About half the length of a standard telephone pole, the Tomahawk flies at the speed of a commercial airliner and can carry a 1,000-pound warhead about the distance from Washington, D.C., to Miami.
Fired from destroyers or submarines positioned hundreds of miles away, the missiles allow a president to respond rapidly to a crisis without sending pilots into contested airspace or deploying ground forces.
The Tomahawk has become a go-to option for limited military action because it offers precision and flexibility while keeping the U.S. footprint small. The missiles can hit fixed targets with high accuracy, reducing the risk of broader escalation.
Presidents of both parties have used Tomahawks in the opening hours of military operations, from strikes in Iraq in the 1990s to more recent operations in Syria and elsewhere.
Defense officials and military analysts say the weapon’s long range, reliability and relatively low risk to American personnel make it an attractive first strike option when the White House wants to send a message quickly but stop short of a wider war.
That combination of speed, distance and precision has kept the Tomahawk at the center of U.S. military planning for decades.

Manufactured by defense titan Raytheon — now RTX — the Tomahawk has been a mainstay of the Navy’s arsenal since the 1980s. It was first used in combat during the 1991 Gulf War and has since become a go-to option for presidents seeking to strike from long range without putting U.S. service members in harm’s way.
“Year in and year out, administration in and administration out, it’s the long-range land attack cruise missile that presidents reach for first in a crisis,” Thomas Karako, director of the Missile Defense Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told Fox News Digital.
But heavy use has taken a toll. “We’ve been using them far more frequently than we’ve been producing them,” Karako said.
Prior to Saturday’s operation, the missile was used in June 2025 during a U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Overall, the Tomahawk has been deployed more than 2,350 times.
At roughly $1.4 million apiece, the Tomahawk missile has an intermediate range of 800 to 1,553 miles and can be launched from more than 140 U.S. Navy ships and submarines.
The Tomahawk strike was just one piece of a broader U.S. military posture in the region.
Ahead of the strikes, the U.S. military amassed what Trump previously called an “armada” in Iran’s backyard. Mapped out across the Persian Gulf and beyond, the deployment tells its own story, one of calculated pressure backed by credible capability.
THE ONLY MAP YOU NEED TO SEE TO UNDERSTAND HOW SERIOUS TRUMP IS ABOUT IRAN
The deployment coincided with indirect negotiations between Washington and Tehran over Iran’s disputed nuclear program. Trump has warned that the regime must fully dismantle its nuclear infrastructure or face consequences.

More than a dozen additional U.S. warships are also operating in the region in support roles, according to defense officials.
It was not immediately clear how or when Tehran might respond, though Iranian leaders have previously warned of retaliation in the event of direct U.S. military involvement.
