据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获取的一场竞选活动交流录音显示，艾奥瓦州联邦众议员、共和党联邦参议员候选人阿什利·辛森私下承认，如果美国与伊朗的持续冲突持续数周以上，可能会成为“政治负资产”。
辛森是5月28日在艾奥瓦州得梅因堡的一场竞选活动中与一名选民对话时发表上述言论的。此次交流首先由《政客》杂志报道，录音中辛森回应了有关这场战争以及可能实施征兵的问题。
“我确实希望能在未来几周内解决此事，”录音中辛森说道，“如果冲突拖得更久，对我们来说也是政治负资产。因为我们已经有艾奥瓦州的士兵阵亡了。”
辛森以艾奥瓦州服役人员的死亡作为她担忧的缘由。
“自去年12月以来，我已经参加了四场葬礼。这太糟糕了，”她说。
当被问及是否有战争的时间线时，辛森表示她听从特朗普总统及其外交政策团队的安排。该团队正寻求与伊朗达成协议，延长当前停火协议，并开启有关伊朗核计划的谈判。美伊双方于4月达成停火，但零星冲突仍在持续，霍尔木兹海峡航运量大幅下降仍在影响全球石油市场。
“显然，我在谈判问题上听从总统的安排，因为他有团队负责此事，”她补充道，阻止伊朗获得核武器仍是她的底线。“伊朗绝不能拥有核武器。归根结底，这就是我想就此发表的看法。”
辛森还回应了有关可能实施征兵的问题，称她没有听说过任何相关计划。白宫在战争初期也曾表示，没有征兵计划。
“我们不需要征兵，”辛森说，“我希望我们永远不需要这么做。”
尽管担忧冲突的持续时间和政治后果，辛森表示，她探访过的阵亡艾奥瓦州士兵家属都态度坚定。
“那些家属都说，我们需要完成任务，”她说，“哪怕他们正处于悲痛之中。”
辛森与民主党候选人乔希·图雷克将在11月展开角逐，争夺共和党参议员乔尼·恩斯特即将空出的艾奥瓦州联邦参议员席位，恩斯特不会寻求连任。此次竞选是2026年参议院控制权争夺中的关键竞争席位之一。
辛森的发言人在给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的一份声明中表示：“当然，无休止的战争不得人心——没人希望发生战争，庆幸的是特朗普总统正在尽一切努力避免战争，同时保障美国人的安全。”
Iowa GOP Senate candidate Ashley Hinson says prolonged Iran war could become a “political liability”

Iowa Republican Senate candidate Rep. Ashley Hinson privately acknowledged that the ongoing U.S. conflict with Iran could become a “political liability” if it stretches beyond the next few weeks, according to audio of a campaign event exchange obtained by CBS News.
Hinson made the remarks during a conversation with a voter at a campaign stop in Fort Dodge, Iowa, on May 28. The exchange, first reported by Politico, captures Hinson fielding questions about the war and a potential military draft.
“I do hope we can get this done by the next couple of weeks,” Hinson said in the recording. “If it drags on beyond that, it’s a political liability for us too. Because we’ve lost Iowa soldiers.”
Hinson cited the deaths of Iowa service members as the source of her concern.
“I’ve been to four funerals since December. It’s awful,” she said.
Asked whether she had a timeline for the war, Hinson said she was deferring to President Trump and his foreign policy team, who are seeking a deal with Iran to extend the current ceasefire and open talks on Iran’s nuclear program. The two countries entered into a ceasefire in April, but occasional clashes have continued, and global oil markets remain impacted by a sharp slowdown in shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
“Obviously I was deferring to the President on the negotiations, because he has the team doing it,” she said, adding that preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon remains her bottom line. “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. At the end of the day, that’s what I want to say on that.”
Hinson also addressed questions about a potential military draft, saying she had not heard of any such plans. The White House said early in the war that a military draft was not planned.
“We don’t need one,” Hinson said. “I hope we don’t need one.”
Despite her concern about the conflict’s duration and political consequences, Hinson said the families of the fallen Iowa soldiers she has visited have remained resolute.
“Those families all said we need to finish the job,” she said. “Even in their grief.”
Hinson and Democratic nominee Josh Turek will face off in November for the Iowa Senate seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Joni Ernst, who is not seeking re-election. The race is among the competitive contests that will help determine control of the Senate in 2026.
A Hinson spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News: “Of course endless wars are unpopular—no one wants them and thankfully President Trump is doing everything he can to prevent one while keeping Americans safe.”
