华盛顿— 据多位熟悉相关事宜、要求匿名向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露国家安全问题的消息人士表示，总统特朗普对助手们所描述的对伊朗军事影响力有限感到越来越沮丧。
与之前的定向行动（包括近期将委内瑞拉领导人尼古拉斯·马杜罗赶下台的行动）不同，特朗普被告知任何针对德黑兰资产的打击几乎不可能是单一的、决定性的打击。相反，有限打击可能会打开更广泛对抗的大门——这种对抗有可能将美国卷入中东地区的长期冲突之中。
Axios首先报道了总统的沮丧情绪细节。
特朗普总统在社交媒体帖子中驳斥了有关凯恩“反对我们对伊朗开战”的报道。他称，凯恩“希望不发生战争，但如果决定在军事层面对抗伊朗，他认为这将是一场轻松取胜的战争”。
特朗普表示，凯恩“从未说过不采取针对伊朗的行动，甚至从未提及我一直看到的所谓‘虚假有限打击’，他只知道一件事，那就是如何取胜，如果有人告诉他要这么做，他会一马当先。”
一位高级军方官员告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，军事规划人员正在提供无偏倚的建议。白宫将哥伦比亚广播公司新闻引向了总统的社交媒体帖子。
总统不耐烦的核心在于渴望采取有力行动以重置外交格局。他向顾问施压，要求提供能带来惩罚性打击的方案——在他看来，这种打击必须足够沉重，以迫使伊朗领导人回到谈判桌，且谈判条件对华盛顿更为有利。但军事规划人员警告称，这种结果无法得到保证。

在私下会议中，参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩将军建议特朗普，针对伊朗的持续军事行动可能会带来重大影响，例如德黑兰及其代理人对美军和盟友的报复，以及可能升级为需要更多美军和资源投入的长期冲突。
本周末，特别代表史蒂夫·维特科夫在福克斯新闻采访中告诉劳拉·特朗普，特朗普“好奇为什么伊朗人‘还没有投降’”。
“为什么在这种压力下，我们拥有如此强大的海上力量，为什么伊朗人还没有来找我们说，‘我们声称不想拥有核武器，所以我们准备怎么做’。然而，很难让他们走到这一步，”维特科夫表示。
近几周，美国大幅加强了在该地区的军事部署。杰拉尔德·R·福特号航母打击群及其战舰群预计将部署到伊朗领土范围内，与亚伯拉罕·林肯号航母打击群和其他驻波斯湾基地的飞行中队会合。爱国者和末段高空区域防御系统（THAAD）已得到加强，以保护美军和地区盟友免受潜在报复。
五角大楼官员表示，这些部署是防御性的，旨在阻止局势升级，但此次军事集结的规模和节奏表明，任何针对伊朗的打击几乎肯定会引发回应，无论是通过导弹袭击、霍尔木兹海峡的海上骚扰，还是在伊拉克、叙利亚和其他地方活动的代理部队。
白宫内部就伊朗问题的会议反映了政治目标与军事现实之间更广泛的紧张关系。虽然总统寻求以戏剧性的武力展示来加强其谈判筹码，但高级指挥官强调，战争很少会按剧本上演，即使是精心校准的打击也可能产生不可预测的后果。
目前，随着应急计划的完善，美国军事装备的集结仍在继续。这一局势最终会以有限打击告终，还是保持威慑姿态，可能更多取决于德黑兰的下一步行动，以及最终华盛顿准备承担多大风险，而非总统的沮丧情绪。

Trump growing frustrated with limits of Iran military options, sources say
February 23, 2026 / 6:47 PM EST / CBS News
Washington— President Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with what aides describe as the limits of military leverage against Iran, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter who spoke to CBS News under condition of anonymity to discuss national security issues.
Unlike previous targeted operations, including the recent one removing Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro from power, Mr. Trump has been told that any strike on Tehran’s assets would almost certainly not be a singular, decisive blow. Instead, limited strikes could open the door to a wider confrontation — one that risks drawing the United States into a protracted conflict in the Middle East.
Axios first reported details of the president’s frustrations.
President Trump, in a social media post refuted any reports that Caine “is against us going to War with Iran.” Caine, he said, “would like not to see War but, if a decision is made on going against Iran at a Military level, it is his opinion that it will be something easily won.”
Mr. Trump said Caine “has not spoken of not doing Iran, or even the fake limited strikes that I have been reading about, he only knows one thing, how to WIN and, if he is told to do so, he will be leading the pack.”
A senior military official told CBS News that military planners are providing unbiased advice. The White House referred CBS News to the president’s social media post.
At the heart of the president’s impatience is a desire for a forceful action that would reset the diplomatic table. He has pressed advisers for options that would deliver a punishing strike — one substantial enough, in his view, to compel Iranian leaders to return to negotiations under more favorable terms for Washington. But military planners have cautioned that such an outcome cannot be guaranteed.

In private meetings, Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has advised Mr. Trump that a sustained military campaign against Iran could carry significant repercussions, such as retaliation from Tehran and its proxies against U.S. forces and allies, and it could spiral into a drawn-out engagement requiring additional American troops and resources.
Over the weekend, special envoy Steve Witkoff told Lara Trump in an interview on Fox News that Mr. Trump is “curious” about why Iranians “haven’t capitulated.”
“Why, under this sort of pressure, with the amount of sea power, naval power that we have over there, why they haven’t come to us and said, ‘We profess that we don’t want to be — we don’t want a weapon. So, here’s what we’re prepared to do.’ And yet, it’s hard to sort of get them to that place,” Witkoff said.
In recent weeks, the U.S. has greatly expanded its military posture across the region. The USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group and its flotilla of warships are expected to position themselves within range of Iranian territory, joining the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group and other aircraft squadrons stationed at bases throughout the Persian Gulf. Patriot and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense systems have been reinforced to protect American troops and regional allies from potential retaliation.
Pentagon officials say the deployments are defensive and designed to deter escalation, yet the scale and tempo of the build up underscore that any strike in Iran would almost certainly trigger a response whether through missile attacks, maritime harassment in the Strait of Hormuz, or proxy forces operating in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere.
The meetings unfolding inside the White House regarding Iran reflect a broader tension between political objectives and military realities. While the president seeks a dramatic show of force to strengthen his hand in negotiations, senior commanders have emphasized that wars rarely unfold according to script and that even carefully calibrated strikes can produce unpredictable consequences.
For now, the buildup of U.S. military hardware continues as contingency plans are refined. Whether it culminates in a limited strike or remains a posture of deterrence may depend less on the president’s frustration than on Tehran’s next move and ultimately on how much risk Washington is prepared to bear.
