华盛顿专电——在全球石油供应因伊朗战争陷入紧张之际，过去几周来特朗普总统就霍尔木兹海峡问题发表了相互矛盾的言论。
在周三的黄金时段演讲中，特朗普先生宣称伊朗“已基本被击溃”，并表示“冲突结束后，海峡将自然恢复通航”。
“艰难的阶段已经过去，”特朗普先生说道。但与此同时，他又呼吁其他国家挺身而出，“承担起”保卫海峡的责任。“他们必须珍视这条航道。他们必须接手并守护好它。这对他们来说轻而易举。”
这番言论出台前，特朗普总统就如何保卫这条连接伊朗与阿拉伯半岛、全球约五分之一石油经此运输的航道，已多次调整立场。
CBS新闻国家安全分析师亚伦·麦克莱恩周四表示，伊朗通过封锁霍尔木兹海峡“打出了手头可用的王牌”，而这“终将不得不得到解决”。特朗普发表演讲后，国际原油基准价格布伦特原油期货价格上涨逾7%。
在3月9日接受CBS新闻采访时，特朗普总统称已有船只驶入海峡，并表示他正“考虑接管该海峡”。但数据显示，过去一个月内多数经该海峡通行的船只与伊朗有关联，因为通航环境依然凶险。
就在同一天，特朗普先生告诉记者，如有需要，美国海军及其盟友将为油轮提供护航。他补充称，美国将为“在海湾地区运营的任何油轮提供政治风险保险”。
特朗普在3月中旬表示，美国将与其他国家合作“巡逻”该海峡，但他不愿透露已达成此类协议的国家名单，并声称美国正在“重创”伊朗威胁商业船只的能力。
“据我们所知，我们已摧毁了他们所有的布雷舰，”总统在3月16日说道。“现在他们可能会把水雷装在其他类型的船只上，再投放出去。但我们目前尚未发现有任何水雷被布设。”
他呼吁其他国家“前来协助我们守护海峡”，同时又称“我们已将局势掌控得非常好”。当被问及美国为何无法立即恢复海峡通航时，特朗普表示：“这需要双方配合。”
3月20日，特朗普断言恢复海峡通航是一项“非常简单”的军事行动，同时又称“在某个节点，它会自行恢复通航”。一周后，总统称伊朗“正乞求达成协议”，并表示“如果他们达成合适的协议，海峡就会恢复通航”。他还称美国“摧毁了他们所有的布雷装置”。
“他们现在只能用划艇之类的工具来运送（布雷设备）了，”在谈及水雷时他说道。
与此同时，特朗普也承认经该海峡通行的船只仍面临威胁。
“听着，海峡的问题在于，任何人都可以带着水雷投入水中，然后说‘哦，这里不安全’。这不像你要消灭一支军队或者一个国家，或者说——他们可以投放水雷。或者你可以从岸边用机枪向船只射击，或是发射肩扛式导弹、小型导弹，”特朗普在3月31日补充道。“这些不该由我们来管……这应该由使用海峡的各方自行解决。”
在发表黄金时段演讲之前，特朗普再次呼吁中国、韩国、日本、法国及其他欧洲国家等盟友承担起保卫海峡的责任。
“让他们全都来做吧，”他说道。“我们到底在掺和什么？我唯一想做的就是确保他们永远不会拥有核武器。另一件事是，这场战争本不在我的计划之内，但我们还是做到了，我想，凭借纯粹的个人魅力，我们实现了一场无人预料到的政权更迭。”
周三晚间，特朗普再次暗示，保卫海峡并非美国的责任。
“我们会提供帮助，但他们应该牵头保护他们极度依赖的石油运输，”他说道。
麦克莱恩表示，总统周三晚间就海峡问题发表的言论表明，他的“核心目标依然是达成一项协议——一旦达成协议，伊朗方面就会恢复通航，或是通过某种形式的政权更迭，让他们不再对航道进行骚扰”。
“我认为他清楚军事行动打开海峡的难度，”他补充道，称此举可能会延长战争——超出特朗普周三所说的两到三周时长。在战争伊始，特朗普曾表示美军的军事行动将持续四到五周，而目前攻势已进入第五周。
Trump sends mixed messages on securing the Strait of Hormuz

Washington — President Trump has sent conflicting messages about the Strait of Hormuz over the last few weeks as the world’s oil supply has been choked by the Iran war.
In a prime-time address Wednesday, Mr. Trump declared that Iran “has been essentially decimated” and “when the conflict is over, the strait will open up naturally.”
“The hard part is done,” Mr. Trump said. But at the same time, he was telling other countries to step up and “take care” of the strait. “They must cherish it. They must grab it and cherish it. They can do it easily.”
The comments follow weeks of shifting plans from the president on how to secure the waterway between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula through which about a fifth of the world’s oil flows.
CBS News national security analyst Aaron MacLean said Thursday that Iran has “played the major card that was available to them” by closing the Strait of Hormuz, which at “some point is going to have to be dealt with.” The international oil price benchmark, Brent Crude,jumped more than 7% after Mr. Trump’s speech.
In a March 9 interview with CBS News, the president claimed ships had been entering the strait and he was “thinking about taking it over.” But data show that a majority of vessels that have passed through the strait in the last month are linked to Iran as conditions remain perilous.
That same day, Mr. Trump told reporters that the U.S. Navy and its partners would escort oil tankers through the strait “if needed.” He added that the U.S. would offer “political risk insurance to any tankers operating in the Gulf.”
Mr. Trump said in mid-March that the U.S. would work with other countries to “police” the strait, though he would not disclose which countries had made such an agreement, and that the U.S. was “hammering” Iran’s capacity to threaten commercial ships.
“We hit, to the best of our knowledge, all of their mine-laying ships,” the president said on March 16. “Now they can put them on other types of ships, I guess, and drop them in. But we don’t know that any have even been dropped in.”
He encouraged other countries to “come and help us with the strait,” while also saying “we have it in very good shape.” Asked why the U.S. couldn’t immediately reopen the strait, Mr. Trump said, “it takes two to tango.”
On March 20, Mr. Trump asserted that reopening the strait was a “very simple” military maneuver, while also claiming “at a certain point, it’ll open itself.” A week later, the president claimed Iran was “begging to make a deal” and “if they make the right deal, then the strait will open up.” He also said the U.S. “blew up every one” of their mine droppers.
“They’re going to have to take them out on a rowboat or something,” he said of the mines.
At the same time, Mr. Trump has acknowledged that ships passing through the strait still face threats.
“Look, problem with the strait, guy can take a mine, drop it in the water and say, ‘Oh, it’s unsafe.’ It’s not like you’re taking out an army or you’re taking out a country, or you — they can drop it. Or you can take a machine gun from the shore and shoot a few bullets at a ship, or maybe an over-the-shoulder missile, small missiles,” Mr. Trump added on March 31. “That’s not for us. … That’ll be for whoever’s using the strait.”
Ahead of his prime-time address, Mr. Trump reiterated his call for other countries, like China, South Korea, Japan, France and other European countries to defend the strait.
“Let them all do it,” he said. “What the hell are we doing it for? All I want to do is make sure they don’t ever have a nuclear weapon. And the other thing, this was not part of what I wanted to do, but we’ve done it, I guess, through sheer force of personality, we have a regime change like nobody thought was possible.”
Mr. Trump again Wednesday night suggested securing the strait was not the responsibility of the United States.
“We will be helpful, but they should take the lead in protecting the oil that they so desperately depend on,” he said.
MacLean said the president’s Wednesday night comments on the strait imply that his “principle objective remains a deal — a deal at which point the Iranians will open it up or perhaps some form of regime change where they no longer harass it.”
“I think he’s aware of the difficulty of a military campaign to open the strait,” he said, adding that it runs the risk of prolonging the war — beyond the two to three weeks the president has said Wednesday it will last. At the outset of the war, the president said the U.S. military operations would take four to five weeks, and the offensive is currently in its fifth week.
