    英国防长:很少有人会为哈梅内伊逝世“感到悲伤”

    2026年3月1日 18:00 / 联合早报

    英国国防部长希利说,很少有人会为伊朗最高领袖哈梅内伊的逝世“感到悲痛”。这是英国政府就此事发表的首次公开回应。

    法新社报道,希利星期天(3月1日)在接受天空新闻采访时说:“伊朗及其长期领导的政权是邪恶的源泉,它屠杀自己的公民,资助并向其他国家,包括英国,输出恐怖主义。”

    他补充说:“当然,现在令人担忧的是,这个政权正在以越来越不分青红皂白、越来越广泛的方式进行报复。人们真正担心的是,报复不仅仅针对军事目标。”

    美国和以色列星期六(2月28日)对伊朗展开袭击,86岁的哈梅内伊被证实当天遇袭身亡。

  • 从人质危机到暗杀阴谋:伊朗近半个世纪对美国人的战争


    伊朗参与了1979年人质危机、科尔号爆炸案、9/11事件以及对唐纳德·特朗普的暗杀威胁

    1979年激进学生推翻伊朗国王后,美国大使馆人质事件爆发,这个中东国家成为其新建立的伊斯兰原教旨主义独裁政权长期所称的”大撒旦”的激烈且血腥的对手。

    自那时起,德黑兰在全球范围内资助恐怖主义,其中包括多次高调针对美国的行为。前里根司法部首席幕僚马克·莱文周日表示,至少有44起伊朗直接或间接针对美国人的事件。

    “伊朗纳粹政权…已经谋杀了超过1000名美国人,并无情地追求核武器以对抗我们——他们是种族灭绝的战争贩子,”莱文(作家、律师和福克斯新闻频道主持人)说道。

    伊朗从美国盟友转变为敌人的舞台在20世纪60年代就已搭建,当时国王穆罕默德·礼萨·巴列维开始与有影响力的伊斯兰神职人员鲁霍拉·霍梅尼发生冲突。君主通过自由宪法改革激怒了神权主义者,允许非伊斯兰教派根据其选择的圣书宣誓就职。

    流亡法国的霍梅尼在所谓的”白色革命”期间(1963-1979)加强了他的言论,包括发表厌女症和仇外情绪的布道,并要求推翻巴列维。

    早期对美国的侵略

    由于巴列维是亲美领导人,这标志着代理对抗的早期实例。1978年秋季,在霍梅尼策划的抗议活动爆发后,国王宣布实施军事管制,宪兵向大规模抗议人群开枪。

    巴列维和法拉赫王后很快以”度假”名义逃离伊朗前往埃及,但再也没有回来。到1979年2月,霍梅尼在大量教派支持下返回德黑兰。

    卡特政府的失败策略演变为人质危机

    卡特国家安全顾问兹比格涅夫·布热津斯基——”早安乔”主持人米卡·布热津斯基的父亲——创造了”危机弧线”一词,并推进了最终失败的”绿色地带”战略,该战略支持中东地区一系列基本不稳定但由原教旨主义政权组成的弧线,这些政权也被视为反对苏联。

    布热津斯基设想的缓冲战略很快崩溃,因为霍梅尼被证明既反美也反苏。

    1979年10月,在伊朗新动荡期间,经过数月关于是否允许他进入美国的辩论后,吉米·卡特总统最终同意允许身患癌症的国王在纽约接受医疗护理。

    同年11月,”伊玛目路线穆斯林学生追随者”组织突袭美国大使馆,开始了52名美国人人质444天的囚禁生涯。

    美国于次年4月断绝外交关系,一次营救行动失败导致数名美国军人死亡。国王于当年夏天在埃及去世,霍梅尼全面掌控政府。

    1981年1月20日,里根政府就职仅几分钟后,伊朗突然释放人质,这被视为对卡特的最后冒犯。

    黎巴嫩人质危机

    根据”反对伊朗核化联盟”组织的资料,1982年7月5日,被称为黎巴嫩人质危机的长期事件开始,真主党和伊朗代理组织在黎巴嫩系统性绑架外国人,包括美国人。

    该组织由前佛罗里达州州长杰布·布什和前大使马克·华莱士创立,在其网站上详细记录了伊朗侵略历史,是一个无党派政策组织,致力于打击伊斯兰共和国的威胁。

    在黎巴嫩人质危机期间,多名受害者被真主党监禁数年,遭受心理和医疗折磨,其中包括中央情报局贝鲁特站站长威廉·巴克利(与《国家评论》创始人同名但无亲属关系)。

    巴克利被黎巴嫩真主党精神科医生兼医学专家阿齐兹·阿布杜博士折磨数月,后者据报道强迫他服用吩噻嗪类药物,并对其进行实验以诱导审讯,并将其作为对西方的警告。

    据报道,巴克利于1985年6月3日在监禁期间死于这些实验。

    中央情报局后来在弗吉尼亚州兰利总部的墙上纪念他,奥巴马时期局长约翰·布伦南在2014年声明中表示:”我们纪念比尔,不是因为他死亡的方式,而是因为他留下的遗产。从他作为陆军上校到在中情局任职期间,比尔激励周围的人在危险条件下成就伟大事业。”

    中情局后来抓获了与真主党有关联的伊斯兰圣战恐怖组织头目——在近25年后,这被华盛顿研究所描述为罕见的当代中情局暗杀行动。

    伊马德·穆格尼耶的组织于1985年10月宣布处决巴克利,但实际日期后来确定,据称他不是死于处决,而是死于医疗折磨的副作用。前人质大卫·雅各布森告诉研究所,巴克利在牢房中经常生病和谵妄,最终在一次酷刑后”死于自己的肺液中”。

    美国大学贝鲁特分校当时校长大卫·多奇也被绑架约一年,美国记者特里·安德森被监禁超过六年。

    里根时期的爆炸和美国军人谋杀

    1983年4月18日,伊朗支持的一个组织(被视为今日黎巴嫩真主党的前身)炸毁了美国驻贝鲁特大使馆,造成63人死亡,其中包括17名美国人。

    同年10月,一辆与伊朗有关联的自杀式卡车炸弹袭击了美国在黎巴嫩的海军陆战队营房,造成241名军人死亡,这仍是海军陆战队自硫磺岛战役以来最致命的单日事件。

    根据中东媒体研究协会(MEMRI)对霍梅尼驻黎巴嫩代表赛义德·伊萨·塔巴塔巴伊接受伊朗伊斯兰共和国通讯社(IRNA)采访的翻译:”我迅速前往黎巴嫩,提供了必要的支持以在美以所在地执行殉道行动。”

    他补充道:”建立真主党的努力始于黎巴嫩的巴勒贝克地区,伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队成员抵达那里。我没有参与建立真主党政党,但真主使我能够与在伊斯兰革命胜利前与我们合作的组织继续军事活动。”

    MEMRI报告称:”值得注意的是,塔巴塔巴伊承认收到霍梅尼针对黎巴嫩美以目标发动袭击的宗教法令的部分内容,在IRNA网站发布后不久就被删除。这显然是因为从未有官方代表霍梅尼(伊斯兰共和国之父)或哈梅内伊(伊朗最高领袖)声称伊朗参与下令、策划和实施针对美国在黎巴嫩的大规模爆炸。”

    1985年,伊朗支持的真主党劫持了从雅典起飞的环球航空公司(TWA)847航班。劫机者收集乘客身份,特别挑选了来自马里兰州沃尔多夫的美国海军建设营队员罗伯特·斯泰瑟姆,误将其视为海军陆战队员,并指责他参与黎巴嫩内战。

    劫机者在飞往贝鲁特途中折磨斯泰瑟姆,随后将其枪杀并抛尸跑道,又补枪一次。

    “祈祷螳螂”行动

    1988年,美国海军”塞缪尔·B·罗伯茨”号在波斯湾触雷并险些沉没。该舰当时正在护航科威特油轮作为保护措施。

    在确认水雷来自伊朗船只”阿杰尔”号(该船于当年早些时候被美军捕获)后,里根总统立即采取报复行动。

    里根政府的行动摧毁了两座据称被伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队用作监视设施的石油平台,导致伊朗开始攻击非军事目标。

    此次任务还击沉了另外两艘伊朗船只,被认为是二战以来最大规模的海军水面战斗。

    行动中直升机坠毁导致两名美国人死亡,数十名伊朗军官被击毙。

    克林顿-布什-奥巴马时期;9/11事件

    联邦调查局将1996年沙特阿拉伯美军住房区袭击事件与另一个伊朗支持的恐怖组织联系起来。

    真主党阿尔-希贾兹组织被指控策划了当年6月的”霍巴塔爆炸案”,造成19名美国军人死亡。

    2000年,基地组织袭击也门亚丁港美国海军”科尔”号驱逐舰后,美国法院认定伊朗间接负有责任,因为它通过允许恐怖分子在黎巴嫩与伊朗有关联的真主党基地接受训练来支持恐怖分子。

    2015年,外国情报监控法(FISA)法官鲁道夫·孔特雷拉斯裁定伊朗和苏丹负有责任,拜登政府期间,苏丹同意就被谋杀水手家属的索赔达成和解。

    “9·11″事件后,美国在伊拉克发动战争,伊朗及其代理组织被怀疑通过向伊拉克什叶派叛乱分子提供地雷造成大量美军伤亡。2019年,美国国防部正式将估计数提高到600多名直接与伊朗或其代理组织有关的美军伤亡,这意味着伊拉克战争损失的六分之一是伊朗造成的。

    海军指挥官肖恩·罗伯逊当时告诉《陆军时报》:”这些伤亡是由成型装药(EFP)、其他简易爆炸装置(IED)、简易火箭推进弹药(IRAM)、火箭、迫击炮、火箭推进榴弹(RPG)、轻武器、狙击火力和在伊拉克的其他袭击造成的。”

    在特朗普政府第一任期内,总统下令打击伊斯兰革命卫队,击毙其传奇指挥官卡西姆·苏莱曼尼。

    虽然伊朗没有直接参与2001年9月11日纽约、宾夕法尼亚和弗吉尼亚的具体袭击事件,但被发现参与了恐怖主义计划的便利。

    由前新泽西州共和党州长汤姆·基恩领导的报告发现伊朗官员与基地组织之间存在”持续接触”。

    报告第七章指出,伊朗至少知道真主党培训的恐怖分子将针对美国和/或以色列采取行动。这些发现驳斥了批评者的说法,即这个逊尼派恐怖组织可以与统治伊朗的什叶派宗教死敌共存。

    德黑兰边境巡逻官员也没有在基地组织成员在该地区旅行时在护照上盖章,因为盖章会在申请美国签证时被发现。

    2016年,与伊斯兰革命卫队有关联的黑客被司法部起诉——包括一名34岁的伊朗国民,据称他侵入了纽约州莱伊布鲁克一座主要水坝的控制系统,该水坝位于287号州际公路和新英格兰收费公路交汇处附近。

    2011年,美国还挫败了一起伊斯兰革命卫队针对美国本土的阴谋,其中计划炸毁华盛顿特区一家餐厅以杀害美国驻沙特大使阿德尔·朱拜尔。

    伊朗裔美国公民曼苏尔·阿尔巴巴西亚和圣城部队成员戈拉姆·沙库里被指控参与此案。阿尔巴巴西亚在纽约肯尼迪机场被捕,沙库里仍在逃。

    联邦调查局一名机密消息人士当年7月在墨西哥与阿尔巴巴西亚会面,嫌疑人同意支付150万美元悬赏的10万美元,以换取杀害朱拜尔,据司法部称。

    时任联邦调查局局长罗伯特·穆勒当时表示,此次逮捕表明美国”有能力整合必要的情报和执法资源,更好地识别和破坏这些威胁,无论其来源如何。”

    拜登政府时期

    到2020年,伊朗被指责对最近几起商业油轮袭击负责。特朗普下令杀死苏莱曼尼后,阿亚图拉阿里·哈梅内伊派遣弹道导弹袭击伊拉克的阿萨德空军基地。

    数十名美国军人受伤。

    2023年10月7日哈马斯武装分子屠杀以色列人后,伊朗支持的哈马斯和真主党向该地区西方部队发动约180次袭击,包括对约旦一个基地的无人机袭击,造成三名美国人死亡。

    特朗普时期:针对总统的暗杀阴谋

    一名阿富汗出生的伊朗代理人和两名美国男子被指控企图追捕并暗杀一名批评伊朗政权的伊朗裔美国人后,司法部披露特朗普也成为类似暗杀阴谋的目标。

    费尔哈德·沙基里在纽约州因抢劫罪被判14年监禁,曾在美国建立犯罪同伙网络,据称目的是”向伊斯兰革命卫队提供国内行动人员”,他被指控试图杀害经常出现在福克斯新闻的记者马西·阿利内贾德。

    截至2024年,沙基里仍然在逃,可能在伊朗境内,但他的美国同伙已在布鲁克林受审。

    根据美国司法部长梅里克·加兰的说法,史泰登岛的乔纳森·洛德霍尔姆和布鲁克林的卡莱尔·里维拉据称”作为该网络的一部分被招募,以在美国领土上沉默并杀害一名一直批评该政权的美国记者”。

    “我们不会容忍伊朗政权危害美国人民和美国国家安全的企图,”加兰表示,刑事申诉称沙基里和里维拉在服刑期间首次会面。

    两人跟踪阿利内贾德,还被指控在洛德霍尔姆的汽车上轮换车牌以避免怀疑,而时任联邦调查局局长克里斯托弗·雷在关于阿利内贾德案件的相关声明中提到特朗普也是伊朗阴谋的目标。

    据《纽约时报》报道,沙基里据称从伊朗自愿向联邦调查局陈述,披露了暗杀特朗普的企图。

    沙基里称,在那年10月的一次伊斯兰革命卫队会议后,他被指示制定刺杀特朗普的计划,如果无法实施,民兵组织认为特朗普将输给卡玛拉·哈里斯,”在卸任后更容易暗杀”。

    “多亏了联邦调查局的辛勤工作,他们的致命计划被挫败。我们致力于动用联邦调查局的全部资源,保护我们的公民免受伊朗或任何其他针对美国人的对手的威胁,”雷当时在一份声明中表示。

    特朗普此后多次警告伊朗退缩,战争部长皮特·赫格塞特监督了2025年对核设施的空袭,政府最终采取了所谓的长期军事行动以迫使政权更迭。

    “我们的目标是通过消除伊朗政权的迫在眉睫威胁来保护美国人民,”特朗普周六表示。

    From hostage crisis to assassination plots: Iran’s near half-century war on Americans

    Iran had its hand in the 1979 hostage crisis to the Cole bombing, 9/11 and assassination threats against Donald Trump

    By Charles Creitz
    Fox News

    Published March 1, 2026 6:00am EST

    After radical students overthrew Iran’s shah in 1979 and took hostages in the U.S. embassy, the Middle Eastern nation became a strident and blood-soaked adversary of what its new Islamic fundamentalist dictatorship has long called the “Great Satan.”

    Since then, Tehran has sponsored terrorism around the globe, including targeting the U.S. in multiple, high-profile instances. Former Reagan Justice Department Chief of Staff Mark Levin said Sunday there are at least 44 examples of Iran targeting Americans either directly or indirectly.

    “The Iranian-Nazi regime … [has] murdered more than 1,000 Americans [and] relentlessly pursued nuclear weapons to use against us — they are genocidal warmongers,” said Levin, an author, attorney and Fox News Channel host.

    The stage for Iran’s transformation from ally to enemy of the U.S. was set in the 1960s, when Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi began clashing with influential Islamic cleric Ruhollah Khomeini. The monarch infuriated the theocrat by liberalizing the national constitution to allow faiths other than Islam to be sworn into office on holy books of their choice.

    Khomeini’s rhetoric from France, where he was exiled, intensified during the period known as the White Revolution, including misogynistic and xenophobic sermons and demands that Pahlavi be ousted.

    Early aggression toward the US

    With Pahlavi as a U.S.-aligned leader, this marked an early instance of antagonism by proxy. As protests engineered by Khomeini broke out in fall 1978, the shah declared martial law, and military police fired on a massive crowd of protesters.

    Pahlavi and Empress Farah Pahlavi soon fled on a “vacation” to Egypt but never returned. By February 1979, Khomeini returned to Tehran with significant sectarian support.

    Failed Carter strategy develops into hostage crisis

    Carter National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski — the father of “Morning Joe” host Mika Brzezinski — coined the term “arc of crisis” and advanced an ultimately failed “Green Belt” strategy that supported an arc of largely unstable but fundamentalist regimes across the Middle East that were also viewed as oppositional to the Soviet Union.

    Brzezinski’s envisioned buffer strategy soon collapsed when Khomeini proved to be just as anti-American as anti-Soviet.

    In October 1979, after months of debate over whether to admit him to the U.S. amid the new turmoil in Iran, President Jimmy Carter relented and permitted the cancer-stricken shah to seek medical care in New York.

    That November, the group “Muslim Student Followers of the Imam’s Line” stormed the U.S. embassy, beginning 444 days of captivity for 52 American hostages.

    The U.S. severed diplomatic ties the following April, and one rescue mission failed and left several U.S. servicemembers dead. The shah died that summer in Egypt, leaving Khomeini in full control of the government.

    In what was seen as the final offense to Carter, Iran suddenly released the hostages minutes into President Ronald Reagan’s administration on Jan. 20, 1981.

    Lebanon hostage crisis

    On July 5, 1982, the years-long saga known as the Lebanon Hostage Crisis began with the systematic abductions of foreigners, including Americans, by Hezbollah and Iranian proxies in the Mideast country, according to United Against a Nuclear Iran.

    That group, founded by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former Ambassador Mark Wallace, maintains a comprehensive history of Iranian aggression on its website and is a nonpartisan policy organization formed to combat the threats posed by the Islamic Republic.

    During the Lebanon Hostage Crisis, several victims spent years imprisoned by Hezbollah, where they were forced to undergo psychological and medical torture, including CIA Beirut Station Chief William Buckley, who was not related to the National Review founder of the same name.

    Buckley was tortured for months by Dr. Aziz al-Abub, a Lebanese Hezbollah psychiatrist and medical expert who reportedly forced him to take phenothiazines and experimented on him to induce interrogation and make an example of him to the West.

    Buckley reportedly died in custody amid these experiments on June 3, 1985.

    The CIA later memorialized him on its wall in Langley, Va., and Obama-era Director John Brennan said in a 2014 statement that “we remember Bill not for the manner in which he died but for the legacy he left behind. From his time as an Army lieutenant colonel to his tenure with the Agency, Bill inspired those around him to do great things despite often dangerous conditions.”

    The agency later caught up with the figurehead of the Hezbollah-linked Islamic Jihad terrorist group — carrying out what the Washington Institute described as a rare contemporary CIA assassination nearly 25 years later.

    Imad Mughniyeh’s group had announced Buckley’s execution in October 1985, but the actual date was determined later, with allegations that he died not from execution but from the side effects of the medical torture he endured. Former hostage David Jacobsen told the institute that Buckley was often sick and delirious in his cell and ultimately died “drowning in his own lung fluids” after a bout of torture.

    David Dodge, then-president of the American University in Beirut, was also kidnapped for about a year, and U.S. journalist Terry Anderson was held in captivity for more than six years.

    Reagan-era bombings and murders of American servicemembers

    On April 18, 1983, an Iran-backed group seen as the predecessor to today’s Lebanese Hezbollah bombed the U.S. embassy in Beirut, killing 63 people, including 17 Americans.

    That October, a suicide truck bomb linked to Iran hit a U.S. Marine barracks in Lebanon, killing 241 servicemembers, in what remains the deadliest single day for the Corps since Iwo Jima.

    According to the MEMRI translation of Khomeini’s representative to Lebanon, Sayyed Issa Tabatabai’s interview with the IRNA: “I quickly went to Lebanon and provided what was needed in order to [carry out] martyrdom operations in the place where the Americans and Israelis were.”

    He added, “The efforts to establish [Hezbollah] started in [Lebanon’s] Baalbek area, where members of [Iran’s] Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) arrived. I had no part in establishing the [political] party [Hezbollah], but God made it possible for me to continue the military activity with the group that had cooperated with us prior to the [Islamic] Revolution’s victory.”

    The MEMRI report continued, “It is noteworthy that the part of the interview in which Tabatabai acknowledged receiving Khomeini’s fatwa ordering attacks on American and Israeli targets in Lebanon was removed by IRNA from its website shortly after publication. This is apparently because no official representative of Khomeini, the father of the Islamic Republic, or of Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, had ever said that Iran had any involvement in ordering, planning and carrying out the massive bombings in Lebanon against U.S.”

    In 1985, Iran-backed Hezbollah hijacked Trans World Airlines (TWA) Flight 847 as it departed Athens. The hijackers collected IDs from the passengers and singled out U.S. Navy Seabee Robert Stethem of Waldorf, Md., mistaking him for a Marine and blaming him for involvement in the Lebanese Civil War.

    The hijackers tortured Stethem as they flew to Beirut before shooting him dead, dumping him on the tarmac, and shooting him again.

    Operation Praying Mantis

    In 1988, the USS Samuel B. Roberts struck an Iranian mine in the Persian Gulf and nearly sank. The Roberts had been escorting Kuwaiti oil tankers as a protective measure.

    After the mines were matched to the Iranian ship Ajr, which had been captured by the Americans earlier that year, President Reagan sprang into retaliatory action.

    Reagan’s operation destroyed two oil platforms reportedly used as Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) surveillance structures, leading Iran to begin attacking nonmilitary targets.

    The mission also claimed two other Iranian ships and was considered the largest naval surface engagement since World War II.

    Two Americans died in a helicopter crash during the operation, while dozens of Iranian officers were killed.

    Clinton-Bush-Obama era; 9/11

    The FBI linked a 1996 attack on an American military housing complex in Saudi Arabia to another Iranian-backed terrorist group.

    Hezbollah al-Hejaz was blamed for the Khobar Towers bombing in June of that year, which killed 19 U.S. servicemembers.

    In the aftermath of Al Qaeda’s 2000 attack on the U.S.S. Cole destroyer in Aden, Yemen, American courts found Iran indirectly liable in that it provided support for the terrorists – in part by letting them be trained in Tehran-linked Hezbollah bases in Lebanon.

    In 2015, FISA Judge Rudolph Contreras found Iran and Sudan liable, and during the Biden administration. Sudan agreed to settle claims of murdered sailors’ families.

    After 9/11, when the U.S. went to war in Iraq, Iran and its proxies were suspected of causing a large portion of American casualties by supplying land mines to the Iraqi Shia insurgents. In 2019, the Department of Defense officially raised its estimate to more than 600 troop casualties directly tied to Iran or its proxies, meaning one in six Iraq War losses were caused by Tehran.

    Navy Cmdr. Sean Robertson told the Army Times at the time that “these [American] casualties were the result of explosively formed penetrators (EFPs), other improvised explosive devices (IEDs), improvised rocket-assisted munitions (IRAMs), rockets, mortars, rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), small arms, sniper fire, and other attacks in Iraq.”

    During his first term in the White House, President Donald Trump ordered a strike on the IRGC, killing its legendary commander, Qassem Soleimani.

    While Iran was not directly implicated as having specific knowledge of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, it was found to be complicit in facilitating the planned terrorism.

    The report, led by former New Jersey Republican Gov. Tom Kean Sr., found a “persistence of contacts” between Iranian officials and Al Qaeda.

    Chapter 7 of the report found that Iran at least knew that the terrorists being trained by Hezbollah were going to act against the U.S. and/or Israel. The findings thereby blew apart critics’ claims that the Sunni terror group could get along with its religious archenemy, the Shia who ran Iran.

    Tehran border patrol officials also did not stamp passports of Al Qaeda operatives traveling around the region, as the marking would have been flagged upon application for any U.S. visa.

    In 2016, hackers linked to the IRGC were indicted by the Justice Department – including one 34-year-old Iranian national who allegedly gained access to the controls of a major dam in Rye Brook, N.Y., near the confluence of Interstate 287 and the New England Thruway.

    In 2011, the U.S. also foiled an IRGC plot targeting the homeland, in which a District of Columbia restaurant was to be bombed to kill Saudi Ambassador to the U.S. Adel al-Jubeir.

    Iranian-born U.S. citizen Manssoor Arbabsiar and Quds Force member Gholam Shakuri were charged in the incident. Arbabsiar was arrested at New york’s JFK Airport and Shakuri remains at large.

    A confidential federal source met with Arbabsiar in Mexico that July, where the suspect agreed to pay $100,000 toward a $1.5 million bounty placed on al-Jubeir, according to the Justice Department.

    Then-FBI Director Robert Mueller said at the time that the arrests depict the U.S. “increased ability … to bring together the intelligence and law enforcement resources necessary to better identify and disrupt those threats, regardless of their origin.”

    Biden era

    By 2020, Iran was blamed for several recent attacks on commercial oil tankers, and after Trump ordered the killing of Soleimani, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dispatched ballistic missiles at Al-Asad Air Base in Iraq.

    Several dozen U.S. troops were wounded.

    After Hamas militants massacred Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023, Iran-backed Hamas and Hezbollah launched about 180 attacks on Western forces in the region, including a drone strike on a base in Jordan that killed three Americans.

    Trump era: Assassination plot on the president

    After an Afghan-born Iranian proxy and two American men were charged with allegedly trying to hunt down and assassinate an Iranian-born American critic of the ayatollah’s regime, the Justice Department disclosed that Trump was also the subject of a similar assassination plot.

    Farhad Shakeri, who had spent 14 years in a New York state prison for robbery and made U.S. contacts to create a “network of criminal associates” to “supply the IRGC with operatives” domestically, was allegedly seeking to kill Masih Alinejad — a journalist who often appears on Fox News Channel.

    Shakeri remained at large, likely in Iran, as of 2024, but his American counterparts were put on trial in Brooklyn.

    Jonathon Loadholt of Staten Island and Carlisle Rivera of Brooklyn allegedly “were recruited as part of that network to silence and kill, on U.S. soil, an American journalist who has been a prominent critic of the regime,” according to then-Attorney General Merrick Garland.

    “We will not stand for the Iranian regime’s attempts to endanger the American people and America’s national security,” Garland said, as the criminal complaint suggested Shakeri and Rivera first met while serving time.

    The two men stalked Alinejad and were also accused of rotating plates on Loadholt’s car to avoid suspicion, while then-FBI Director Christopher Wray mentioned Trump as another target of an Iranian plot in a related statement on the Alinejad case.

    Shakeri reportedly spoke to the FBI voluntarily from Iran, where he disclosed efforts to assassinate Trump, according to The New York Times.

    Shakeri said he was told to create a plan to kill Trump after an IRGC meeting that October and that, if he could not, the assumption from the militia was that Trump would lose to Kamala Harris and be “easier to assassinate” while out of office.

    “Thanks to the hard work of the FBI, their deadly schemes were disrupted.We’re committed to using the full resources of the FBI to protect our citizens from Iran or any other adversary who targets Americans,” Wray said in a statement at the time.

    Trump has since warned Iran repeatedly to back down, with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth overseeing 2025 airstrikes on nuclear facilities, and the administration ultimately taking what it described as long-term military action to force regime change.

    “Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime,” Trump said Saturday.

  • 印度气象局:未来三个月高温 或对居民健康构成威胁 | 联合早报


    发布/2026年3月1日 18:24

    报道称,持续高温天气也可能使印度的小麦产量低于上个季度的纪录,从而削弱政府为确保充足供应所做的努力。 (法新社)

    (新德里彭博电)印度未来三个月的气温预计将高于往年同期水平,这可能推高电力需求,并对居民的健康构成严重威胁。

    这种情况可能推高印度电力需求,促使政府更多依赖燃煤发电来应对用电高峰。气温持续攀升还将威胁农村收入,加剧食品价格压力,使政策制定者控制通货膨胀的努力面临更大挑战。

    不过,气象局指出,3月份许多地区的最高气温可能仍将处于正常或低于正常水平,除西北部一些地区外,大部分地区的最低气温预计将高于平均水平。

    3月份气温的任何异常升高都可能对冬播作物构成风险,因为冬播作物正处于萌芽成长阶段,过高的温度会抑制产量并降低品质。

    持续高温天气也可能使印度的小麦产量低于上个季度的纪录,从而削弱政府为确保充足供应所做的努力,特别是为政府的各项福利计划,包括每月向约8亿人免费分发一定数量的粮食。

  • 约翰·科宁背水一战,试图保住参议院席位


    发布时间:2026年3月1日,美国东部时间上午5:00 / 更新时间:1小时59分钟前

    作者:[马努·拉朱]、[艾莉森·梅因]、[莎拉·费里斯]

    休斯顿报道——

    参议员约翰·科宁最近在休斯顿的电视摄像机前亮相,向威胁要夺走他执掌近24年的席位的肯·帕克斯顿发出警告:情况即将变得糟糕得多。

    “在我们解决掉这位总检察长(在潜在的决选中)之后,”科宁表示,“他将无法当选。”

    科宁和他的盟友已经投入数千万美元的攻击性广告,指控这位三届州总检察长存在腐败和个人谋利行为。在初选的最后几天,科宁的核心信息猛烈抨击帕克斯顿不忠,指责他“与一名有七个孩子的已婚母亲厮混”,这一说法美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)尚未证实。

    “我们才刚刚开始,”科宁在上周活动结束后的一次采访中说道,“到结束时,德克萨斯州民众会了解到关于候选人的一切必要信息,包括肯·帕克斯顿。”

    但这场竞选也揭示了科宁的另一面。在参议院任职二十多年,一路稳步晋升,支持保守政策的同时也参与两党合作的科宁,正在摒弃这段历史。尽管多年来他与特朗普时有分歧,如今却将自己塑造为特朗普总统坚定的盟友,并投入巨资试图拖垮帕克斯顿。

    然而,到目前为止,这些攻击并未对帕克斯顿的地位造成太大影响。


    图片:德克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿于2月16日在得克萨斯州泰勒市的竞选活动中发言。

    民调显示,帕克斯顿在包括共和党众议员韦斯利·亨特在内的三人竞选中领先。周二的初选几乎肯定会在5月的决选中由得票前两名决出胜负,这预示着一场长期的战役,共和党人估计除了科宁及其盟友已花费的约1亿美元外,还将再投入2亿美元。

    帕克斯顿在初选结束阶段推出了一个全州范围的电视广告,由他的女儿旁白,旨在反驳科宁的人身攻击。帕克斯顿在一份声明中预测,科宁的施压会适得其反,“不像约翰·科宁那样,他已沦为一个不顾一切想保住权力的可怜虫,我的竞选不是要攻击别人的家庭。”

    在接受美国有线电视新闻网采访时,帕克斯顿呼应了特朗普关于自己是报复性起诉受害者的说法。

    “特朗普经历了完全相同的事情,看看他现在的处境,”他在一场挤满戴着“让美国再次伟大”帽子的选民的竞选集会上说道,“我也会如此。我们克服了所有这些。你们可以编造任何谎言,但指控就是指控,而真相就是真相。”


    科宁在竞选路上仍带着一项两党协议

    2022年夏天,当美国总统乔·拜登在白宫为一群议员举办庆祝活动时,他感谢他们帮助通过了数十年来首部全国性枪支安全法案。

    其中就包括科宁,他在得克萨斯州乌瓦尔德小学枪击事件(造成19名儿童和2名教师死亡)后几周内大力推动该法案。这是科宁四届任期中达成的众多两党协议之一,同时他也一贯投票支持共和党优先事项。

    “我希望提到你的名字不会给你带来麻烦,”拜登当时打趣科宁。

    确实如此。多年后,科宁对拜登促成的枪支妥协方案的支持,仍然是其对手抨击的主要问题之一。

    在该协议最终敲定期间,他在得克萨斯州共和党代表大会上遭到嘘声,并被特朗普当时称为“RINO”(名义上的共和党人)。


    图片:2022年7月11日,美国总统乔·拜登在白宫庆祝枪支安全立法的活动中,与包括参议员约翰·科宁在内的议员们握手。

    “我从未被拜登感谢过,”帕克斯顿最近在德克萨斯州最保守地区之一的马格诺利亚市对一群支持者说道,他指责科宁促成了“可能是几十年来最严格的枪支法案”。

    同一周,在200英里外的得克萨斯州泰勒市,亨特指责科宁在华盛顿待了二十年后“忘记了德克萨斯州民众真正想要什么”——因为只有这样才能“在得克萨斯州通过枪支管制立法”,引得人群哄笑。

    当被问及枪支安全法是否是个负累(因为他在竞选活动中很少提及)时,科宁暗示对手们言不由衷,并为自己在立法中的角色辩护。

    “任何守法的枪支拥有者或公民都没有被剥夺获得枪支的权利,”他表示,“我认为我们挽救了生命。”

    他否认对支持该法案有任何后悔,该法案加强了背景审查并为学校安全和心理健康计划提供资金,他坚称对手向其他共和党人误导了该法案的好处。

    “不幸的是,很容易对我们做了什么和没做什么撒谎……我希望两党能达成共识,即枪支不应该落入精神疾病患者或罪犯手中,”科宁补充说,他本人是枪支拥有者和猎人,“我将坚决捍卫第二修正案权利。”


    特朗普未参与竞选

    总统背书的争夺是这场三人角逐的核心特征。但尽管数月来帕克斯顿恳求,甚至他本人前往苏格兰短暂与特朗普在高尔夫球场会面,总统却刻意保持距离,称他与三人都有友谊。


    图片:从左至右:众议员韦斯利·亨特、德克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿和参议员约翰·科宁。

    科宁与参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩及他的首席副手约翰·巴拉萨一起,多次向特朗普呼吁提名帕克斯顿的潜在后果。他们告诉总统,他们将不得不花费巨额资金帮助这位总检察长对抗最终的民主党候选人(要么是詹姆斯·塔拉利科,要么是贾丝明·克罗克特)。科宁表示,帕克斯顿的参选会损害德克萨斯州共和党候选人,实际上让民主党更容易拿下众议院并发起对特朗普的弹劾。

    “所以我认为我们已经向他说明了‘商业理由’,”科宁向美国有线电视新闻网谈及特朗普时表示,“这不是基于情感,也不是关于我,而是我认为,如果我是候选人,共和党人和总统及其议程会好得多。如果肯·帕克斯顿是候选人,那将是一场灾难。”

    上周,当特朗普走进众议院参加国情咨文演讲时,数十名共和党人挤在过道上与他短暂拥抱或合影。得克萨斯州议员特洛伊·内尔斯利用与总统短暂交谈的机会,宣传他的老朋友帕克斯顿,距离该州重要初选还有一周。

    “肯在这里,他会赢,”据知情人士透露,内尔斯对总统说。

    帕克斯顿飞往华盛顿聆听特朗普的演讲,部分原因是为了帮助议员们正式认识这位在国会山试图击败的人。同一周,帕克斯顿接受采访时讨论了与华盛顿共和党领袖合作的可能性,这与他一贯攻击“华盛顿建制派”的立场大相径庭。


    决选中会发生什么?

    科宁的目标是说服共和党选民和捐赠者,在决选中支持他将为党内节省大量资金,否则他们将不得不为保住席位和维持参议院共和党多数而投入巨资。

    科宁已结婚近50年,他寄望于决选将围绕性格问题展开。他计划全力利用帕克斯顿与州参议员安吉拉·帕克斯顿婚姻破裂的公开化——安吉拉因“宗教原因”以通奸为由提起离婚诉讼(法院已裁定未来离婚诉讼将公开,科宁的盟友警告这将成为决选的焦点)。

    “如果他自己的家人都不信任他,你也不能信任他,”科宁上周在休斯顿表示,“我不能信任他。”

    即使竞选进入决选阶段,周二的最终计票结果对科宁的未来也至关重要。如果他以远低于预期的第二名结束,华盛顿的共和党高层将面临巨大压力,考虑是否撤回资源,转而投入其他战场州。


    图片:得克萨斯州共和党参议员约翰·科宁于2月28日在得克萨斯州伍德兰兹的集会上发言。

    “尚未确定,”图恩周四被问及全国共和党会在决选中投入多少资金支持科宁时对美国有线电视新闻网表示,“这是我们希望避免的情况之一。”

    亨特和帕克斯顿都指责共和党高层为支持处境艰难的现任议员而挥霍资金。

    在东得克萨斯州一次竞选活动中,亨特表示,用于支持科宁的资金简直是“疯狂”。

    “你们已经在约翰·科宁身上花了一张强力球彩票的钱,还会花更多,”亨特指共和党高层,“你有一位24年的资深议员,很明显,基本盘已经抛弃了他。”

    亨特补充道:“如果你在初选中都如此艰难,你如何在决选中幸存?那比初选更偏向极右翼。”

    John Cornyn goes scorched earth to try to save his Senate seat

    PUBLISHED Mar 1, 2026, 5:00 AM ET / UPDATED 1 hr 59 min ago

    By [Manu Raju], [Alison Main], [Sarah Ferris]

    Houston—

    Sen. John Cornyn stood before TV cameras in Houston recently and issued a warning to Ken Paxton, the man threatening to take the seat he’s held for nearly two dozen years: Things were about to get a whole lot uglier.

    “After we get through with the attorney general” in a potential runoff, Cornyn said, “he’s going to be unelectable.”

    Cornyn and his allies had already poured tens of millions of dollars in attack ads accusing the three-term state attorney general of corruption and personal enrichment. Cornyn’s closing message, in the final days of the primary, blasts Paxton for infidelity, accusing him of “sleeping around with a married mother of seven,” a claim CNN has not verified.

    “We are just getting started,” Cornyn said in an interview after the event last week. “By the time it’s over, Texans will know everything they need to know about the candidates, including Ken Paxton.”

    But the campaign has revealed something about Cornyn too. After more than two decades in the Senate, cordially climbing the rungs, backing conservative policies but also working on bipartisan deals, Cornyn is putting aside that history. He’s presenting himself as a stalwart ally of President Donald Trump — despite periodically breaking with him over the years — and spending furiously to try to drag Paxton down.

    Yet those attacks haven’t done much to dent Paxton’s standing so far.

    Polls show Paxton leading a three-way race that also includes GOP Rep. Wesley Hunt. The Tuesday primary is all but certain to end up in a May runoff with the top two vote-getters, setting up a long battle that Republicans estimate could cost $200 million on top of the roughly $100 million already spent mostly by Cornyn and his allies.

    Paxton is closing the primary with a statewide TV ad narrated by his daughter, aiming to rebut Cornyn’s character attacks. Paxton predicted that Cornyn’s push would backfire with voters, saying in a statement, “Unlike John Cornyn, who’s become a desperate shell of a man clinging to power, my campaign is not about attacking someone else’s family.”

    Speaking to CNN, Paxton echoed claims from Trump of being a victim of vindictive prosecutions.

    “Trump went through the very same thing, and look where he’s at,” he said at a campaign stop packed with voters in “Make America Great Again” hats. “It’s going to be the same way for me. We overcame all of them. You can make up whatever you want to make up, but the allegations are the allegations. But the truth is the truth.”

    One bipartisan deal is following Cornyn on the campaign trail

    When then-President Joe Biden hosted a group of lawmakers at the White House for an event in summer 2022, he thanked them for helping to pass the first nationwide gun-safety bill in decades.

    Among them was Cornyn, who pushed hard for the bill in the weeks after the elementary school shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas. It was one of many bipartisan deals Cornyn has pursued in his four terms while also voting for Republican priorities consistently.

    “I hope it doesn’t get you in trouble, mentioning your name,” Biden quipped to Cornyn at the time.

    It did. Years later, Cornyn’s support for the Biden-brokered gun compromise remains one of the top issues his opponents hammer.

    He was booed at the Texas Republican convention as the deal was being finished and labeled a “RINO” — a Republican in name only — by Trump at the time.

    “I’ve never been thanked by Joe Biden,” Paxton recently told a group of supporters in Magnolia — a city in one of the most conservative parts of Texas — after accusing Cornyn of facilitating the “most restrictive gun bill in probably decades.”

    Hunt, speaking the same week about 200 miles away in Tyler, Texas, accused Cornyn of forgetting “what Texans actually want” after two decades in Washington — because that’s the only reason someone would “pass gun-control legislation in Texas,” to chuckles in the crowd.

    Pressed by CNN on whether the gun-safety law is a liability, given that he rarely mentions it on the trail, Cornyn suggested his rivals were being disingenuous and defended his role in passing the legislation.

    “No law-abiding gun owner or citizen has been denied access to firearms,” he said. “I think we’ve saved lives.”

    He denied that he had any regrets about backing the legislation, which tightened background checks and includes funds for school safety and mental health initiatives, asserting his opponents had misled fellow Republicans about its merits.

    “Unfortunately, it’s too easy to tell lies about what we did and what we didn’t do. … There’s a bipartisan consensus, I hope there is, that guns should not be in the hands of people who are mentally ill or who are criminals,” Cornyn said, adding that he’s a gun owner and hunter himself. “I will zealously protect the Second Amendment rights.”

    Trump stays out of the race

    The battle for the president’s endorsement has been the central feature of the three-man race. But despite months of pleading — and even a trip by Paxton to Scotland for a brief brush with Trump on the golf course — the president has intentionally stayed out, citing his friendship with all three.

    Cornyn, along with Senate Majority Leader John Thune and his chief deputy, Sen. John Barrasso, have made many appeals to Trump about the potential ramifications of nominating Paxton. They’ve told the president they would have to spend massive amounts of money to help the attorney general against the eventual Democratic nominee, either James Talarico or Jasmine Crockett. Cornyn says Paxton’s candidacy would hurt down-ballot Texas Republicans, effectively making it easier for Democrats to take the House and pursue an impeachment of Trump.

    “So I think we’ve made the business case to him,” Cornyn told CNN of Trump. “It’s not based on emotion. It’s not about me, but I think Republicans and the president and his agenda will be much better off if I’m the nominee. If Ken Paxton is the nominee, it will be a disaster.”

    As Trump entered the House chamber for his State of the Union speech last week, dozens of Republicans thronged the aisles for a quick embrace or selfie. Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas used his precious seconds with the president for a different reason — to promote Paxton, his longtime friend, one week before the state’s big primary.

    “Ken’s here, and he’s going to win,” Nehls told the president, according to a person familiar with the exchange.

    Paxton flew to Washington for Trump’s address, in part to help lawmakers get formally acquainted with the man many in the Capitol are trying to defeat. The same week, Paxton used interviews to discuss working with GOP leaders in Washington, a far cry from his constant campaign attacks on the “DC establishment.”

    What happens in a runoff?

    Cornyn’s goal: convince GOP voters and donors that backing him in a runoff will spare enormous sums the party would have to put behind Paxton to save the seat and maintain the Senate Republican majority.

    Cornyn, who has been married for nearly 50 years, is banking that a potential runoff would turn on character. He plans to go all-in on the highly public breakup of Paxton’s marriage with state Sen. Angela Paxton after she filed for divorce citing “biblical grounds,” accusing him of infidelity. (A court has ruled that future filings in the divorce will be made public, which Cornyn allies have warned will make it fair game for the runoff.)

    “If his own family can’t trust him, you can’t trust him either,” Cornyn said in Houston last week. “I can’t trust him.”

    Even if the race heads to a runoff, Tuesday’s final tallies will be critical for Cornyn’s future. If he comes in a distant second place, there will be enormous pressure on top Republicans in Washington to consider pulling resources to deploy them to other battleground states.

    “Yet to be determined,” Thune told CNN on Thursday when asked how much money national Republicans would spend in a runoff to push Cornyn through. “It’s kind of one of those scenarios we were hoping to avoid.”

    Both Hunt and Paxton blame GOP leaders for burning cash to help a struggling incumbent.

    In an interview at a campaign stop in East Texas, Hunt said the money spent to boost Cornyn amounts to “insanity.”

    “You have literally spent a Powerball ticket on John Cornyn already and you’re going to spend more,” Hunt said of GOP leaders. “You have a 24-year incumbent. It is obvious that the base has left him.”

    Hunt added: “If you’re struggling this much to get out of the primary, how are you going to survive a runoff? That’s even further right than the primary.”

    澳大利亚选手汉娜·格林(Hannah Green)星期天(3月1日)在圣淘沙举行的2026年汇丰银行(HSBC)女子高尔夫球世界锦标赛维持火热状态,以稳定的表现再度赢得这项赛事冠军。

    决赛轮开始前,汉娜原以205总杆数与同袍李旻智并列第一,但前者在决赛轮早期就以出色的表现拉开差距,以至少三杆优势领先。

    到了最后几洞,29岁的汉娜夺冠已基本没有悬念,她顶住美国韩裔金高恩的反扑,最终以274总杆数获胜,这是她自2024年以来再度在圣淘沙高尔夫俱乐部丹戎球场夺冠。

    在这项比赛获得第二的是金高恩(275杆),以277杆并列第三的球员有三名,她们是鲍琳·若桑—布夏(Pauline Roussin-Bouchard,法国)、李旻智(澳洲)和美国华裔尹天琪。

    我国球员方面,陈星彤以294杆与其他球员并列第60位,陈暄尹则以297杆排名第69位。

    钧正平工作室:居安思危是深植于中华民族血脉中的生存智慧 | 联合早报

    美国和以色列星期六(2月28日)对伊朗展开大规模作战行动后,中国军方媒体《解放军报》旗下微博账号“钧正平工作室”发文称,居安思危,是深植于中华民族血脉中的生存智慧。

    “钧正平工作室”星期六发布题为《中国人民永远都要保持居安思危的清醒》的评论文章。文章首先写道,和平从来不是天上掉下来的,战火也不会因祈祷而远离。放眼人类历史,丛林法则依然盛行,弱肉强食从未退场。

    文章称,当前国际形势复杂多变,风险挑战暗流涌动。警惕之弦一旦松懈,就可能给国家和人民带来难以挽回的损失。

    文章进一步称,居安思危,是深植于中华民族血脉中的生存智慧。“每一位中华儿女都应清醒认识到:安而不忘危,治而不忘乱。唯有保持痛感、未雨绸缪,方能守护住来之不易的和平与安定。”

    中国官媒新华社也在当晚发布评论文章指出,打着维护自身安全旗号,行干涉主权国家内政、强行推动政权更迭之实,这是美国在世界多地屡次上演的霸权剧本。文章还称,历史终将证明,强权逻辑永远换不来真正的安全,穷兵黩武的霸权行径最终必将反噬自身。
