佛罗里达州共和党众议员、众议院外交事务委员会主席布莱恩·马斯特（Brian Mast）在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示，美国现在在伊朗有明确而具体的军事目标：摧毁伊朗政权打击美国人的能力。
他说，美国的任务是”切实消除伊朗境内所有能够打击中东任何地区美国人的军事硬件”。
“这就是我们正在进行的行动，这样我们就不会受到诸如地对地导弹、地对空导弹或其他任何带有核弹头或其他任何弹头的武器的袭击。”

马斯特对在行动中丧生的三名美国人表示敬意。”这些军人深知其职业的危险。他们挺身而出，履行保卫美利坚合众国的职责。我为他们的服役感到无比自豪，并为能成为他们的战友而自豪。”
他强调，行动的范围和持续时间将由政府决定。”对美国来说，这场军事行动的结束将按照我们的条件进行。”
马斯特强烈驳斥了以色列将美国拖入与伊朗战争的说法，称特朗普政府首先寻求外交途径并设定了最后期限，之后才转向军事行动。
“以色列并没有把美国拖到任何地方，”他在采访中表示。”首先，美国与伊朗进行了外交谈判，要求伊朗终止核计划、终止弹道导弹计划以及停止对持续袭击美国的代理武装的支持。”
“这一切都是那场辩论和对话的一部分。什么时候采取行动？如何采取行动？显然，美利坚合众国和特朗普总统、赫格塞斯部长、卢比奥部长、我们的情报主任、中央情报局局长约翰·拉特克利夫（John Ratcliffe）都在努力部署所有资产，以便谈判工具能够消除伊朗的实际威胁。”
“我们不会只是弹指一挥间就把福特航母战斗群、林肯航母战斗群部署到位，这需要时间。”他补充道。”外交途径是首选方式，这就是为什么我们先采取外交途径而不是直接开始军事打击。就我与上述人员的直接沟通而言，伊朗在谈判中极其自负，不愿意真正讨论任何有关终止其核计划的问题。”
“即使美国提出如果伊朗同意不追求武器化，就为其民用能源项目提供核材料，伊朗也不愿意接受。他们不想讨论终止弹道导弹计划。”
展望未来，马斯特暗示这场冲突可能会重塑伊朗的政治未来。他描述了伊朗政权的正式权力交接程序，”首先由三人委员会开始，最终由88人组成的议会选出下一任领导人”，并指出潜在的竞争者，包括”阿亚图拉的儿子、阿亚图拉的孙子”和”一名与伊斯兰革命卫队关系密切的强硬派神职人员阿拉菲（Arafi）”。
但他也提到了更广泛动荡的可能性。
“这一假设前提是伊朗不会发生起义，即伊朗数百万饱受折磨和镇压的民众不会决定走另一条路。”马斯特说。
“我们希望看到伊朗改变现状，翻开新的一页。”

Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Fox News Digital in an interview the United States now has a clear and defined military objective in Iran: dismantle the regime’s ability to strike Americans.
He said the U.S. mission is “to literally eliminate every single piece of military hardware that exists in Iran that can reach out and touch an American somewhere throughout the Middle East.”
“That is what we are conducting right now so that we do not get hit with something, a surface-to-surface missile or a surface-to-air missile or anything else, certainly with a nuclear tip, but with any other tip as well.”

Mast paid tribute to the three Americans killed in the operation. “These service members understood the hazards of their profession. They went out there, conducted their duty to defend the United States of America, and I could not be more proud than to thank them for their service, and I’m proud to be their brother in arms.”
He stressed that the scope and duration of the operation will be decided by the administration. “The ending of this militarily for the United States is on our terms,” he said.
Mast pushed back forcefully against claims that Israel dragged the United States into war with Iran, saying the Trump administration first pursued diplomacy and set a deadline before shifting to military action.
“Israel has not dragged the United States of America anywhere,” he said in the interview. “The United States, number one, started out with diplomatic negotiations with Iran to say, end your nuclear program, end your ballistic missile program and your support of these proxies that are continually attacking the United States of America.”

“Everything is a part of that debate and that conversation. When should something be done? How should something be done? Obviously, the United States of America and President Trump, Secretary Hegseth, Secretary Rubio, our director of intelligence, our director of our CIA, John Ratcliffe, working to get all of the assets in place so that the negotiating tool of ending the literal threat of Iran, was a part of that.”
“It didn’t just happen on accident that we snapped our fingers and we had the Ford carrier group there, the Lincoln carrier group. That is something that took time,” he added. “Now, the diplomatic approach was the preferred approach. That’s why it began with that instead of beginning with a military strike. And what I can tell you about those negotiations, speaking directly to those individuals that I just mentioned, is that Iran came into this extremely egotistical, unwilling to really discuss anything relating to ending their nuclear program,” he said.

“Even after the United States offered to fund nuclear materials for a civilian energy program if Iran agreed not to pursue weaponization, they didn’t want that. They didn’t wanna talk about ending their ballistic missile program.”
Looking ahead, Mast suggested the conflict could reshape Iran’s political future. He described the regime’s formal succession process, which “begins with this three-person body, ultimately moves to this 88-person assembly that would go out there and choose the next leader,” and noted potential contenders, including “the son of the Ayatollah, grandson of the ayatollah” and “a very hard-line cleric named Arafi, who’s very closely aligned with the IRGC.”
But he also raised the possibility of broader upheaval.

“That assumes that there is no uprising, where the people, the millions and millions of people across Iran, who have been just brutally tortured and suppressed, don’t decide that there is another path,” Mast said.
“We want to see a change, a turning of the page for what Iran has been undertaking.”
