参议院共和党议员周四警告称，随着美伊关系持续紧张，阿亚图拉阿里·哈梅内伊的首要目标是让美国人流血。
“阿亚图拉不仅因为我不认同他的宗教而认为我会下地狱——他还想杀我，”来自路易斯安那州的共和党参议员约翰·肯尼迪周四在参议院发表讲话时表示。
“他想杀死美国人和以色列人以及任何不信仰他的圣战的人，并用靴子喝我们的血，”肯尼迪继续说道。”而且他已经付诸行动，这是不可接受的。”

肯尼迪的这番言论正值美伊紧张局势升级之际。问题的核心是伊朗的核能力以及哈梅内伊制造核武器的野心。
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普给伊朗政府大约10至15天时间达成核协议，并警告称，如果无法达成协议，美国可能会在该地区采取军事行动。
本周早些时候的国情咨文演讲中，特朗普再次发出了这一警告。

“我绝不会允许世界头号恐怖主义支持者……拥有核武器，”特朗普表示。
肯尼迪警告称，如果特朗普政府促成一项协议，必须设置”护栏”。
“如果我们与伊朗达成协议，一定要确保有执行协议的机制，因为根据我多年来对阿亚图拉的观察，”他说，”就算他死了三天，我也不会信任这个人。”

议员们正在争论打击可能采取的具体形式，以及在特朗普做出决定前国会是否应该介入。
来自弗吉尼亚州的民主党参议员蒂姆·凯恩和来自肯塔基州的共和党参议员兰德·保罗预计，他们的伊朗战争权力决议将于下周提交参议院表决，这将限制特朗普在未经国会批准的情况下对伊朗发动打击。

南达科他州共和党参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩表示，伊朗谈判最重要的方面是”防止他们拥有核能力”。
“但他们在该地区还代表着其他威胁，而且我们在该地区有大量驻军，你知道的。所以我认为他们正在考虑并研究可能的选择，”图恩说。
“在我看来，如果你要在那里采取行动，最好确保这是为了实现政权更迭和新领导。”

Kennedy warns ayatollah wants to ‘drink our blood out of a boot’ as Iran tensions escalate
GOP’s Kennedy says he wouldn’t trust Iran’s leader ‘if he was three days dead’ as Trump’s nuclear deadline nears

A Senate Republican warned Thursday that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s primary focus is shedding American blood as U.S.-Iran relations continue to simmer.
“The ayatollah not only thinks that I’m going to hell because I don’t agree with his religion — he wants to kill me,” Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said on the Senate floor Thursday.
“He wants to kill Americans and the Israelis and anybody who does not believe in his jihad and drink our blood out of a boot,” Kennedy continued. “And he’s acted on that, and that’s not acceptable.”

Kennedy’s message comes as tensions with Iran are escalating. At the core of the issue is Iran’s capability and Khamenei’s desire to build a nuclear weapon.
President Donald Trump gave the country’s leadership roughly 10 to 15 days to reach a nuclear agreement and warned that the inability to strike a deal could lead to U.S. military action in the region.
He renewed that edict during his State of the Union address earlier this week.

“I will never allow the world’s number one sponsor of terror … to have a nuclear weapon,” Trump said.
Kennedy cautioned that if the Trump administration were to broker a deal, it would need to have guardrails.
“If we make a deal with Iran, let’s make sure we have a protocol to enforce it because, in my experience in watching the Ayatollah through the years, I wouldn’t trust this man if he was three days dead,” he said.

Lawmakers are wrestling with the exact nature of what a strike could look like and whether Congress should weigh in before Trump makes a decision.
Senators Tim Kaine, D-Va., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., expect that their Iran war powers resolution will hit the Senate floor next week, which would curb Trump’s ability to strike the country without Congress’ approval.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said the most important aspect of the Iran negotiations was “to prevent them from having nuclear capability.”
“But there are also other threats that they represent in the region, and we have a big presence in that region, as you know. So, I think they’re looking at and working through what the options might be,” Thune said.
“In my view, if you’re going to do something there, you better well make it about getting new leadership and regime change.”
