0:00.160–0:02.734
pay up. That's what Trump is demanding of Iran
0:02.734–0:05.600
as it launches new strikes tonight. In a post
0:05.600–0:07.952
Trump just put out, he said, quote, "Please
0:07.952–0:10.640
let the statement serve to represent until
0:10.640–0:12.664
further notice that from this point forth,
0:12.664–0:14.880
any and all damages done to ships, cargo,
0:14.880–0:17.305
or anything related there, too will be paid for
0:17.305–0:20.000
by Iranian money that the United States has in
0:20.000–0:22.393
its possession and controls. These damages
0:22.393–0:25.120
may be very substantial, but nevertheless,
0:25.120–0:27.653
this is the fair and equitable thing to do." Now,
0:27.653–0:31.200
it's worth noting that this is the same man who
0:31.200–0:33.958
said he was going to give Iran its money back as
0:33.958–0:37.280
part of theou, right? That was the whole thing. He
0:37.280–0:40.326
was giving them this money back. He actually said
0:40.326–0:43.760
this, "It's not our money. It's their money." And
0:43.760–0:47.473
we froze it at a certain point in time. It's
0:47.473–0:52.000
not our money. It's their money. Those are his
0:52.000–0:54.618
words. Now, Trump's claim about where the money
0:54.618–0:57.520
is going to come comes after he has just leveled
0:57.520–1:00.005
another massive threat, telling Axios, quote, "I
1:00.005–1:02.800
am considering a massive attack, bigger than ever
1:02.800–1:05.421
before. I am close to making a decision. We're all
1:05.421–1:08.320
set for it." What are you hearing about where his
1:08.320–1:11.274
head is tonight? And frankly, how quickly he
1:11.274–1:14.640
keeps changing his mind. Well, Erin, I mean,
1:14.640–1:17.027
as you said, it's 5 months and counting, and the
1:17.027–1:19.680
end is not anywhere in sight. First of all, you
1:19.680–1:21.523
have Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying things
1:21.523–1:23.520
like Iran is begging to get the table. Something
1:23.520–1:25.104
we've heard from President Trump, too. But then
1:25.104–1:27.360
President Trump today saying he doesn't think
1:27.360–1:29.507
Iran is ready for a deal. Even going further than
1:29.507–1:31.840
that, saying they need more of the same. Well,
1:31.840–1:34.228
more of the same likely is referring to the fact
1:34.228–1:37.040
that we've had 12 consecutive nights of bombings
1:37.040–1:39.920
in Iran. But our reporting today that the CIA and
1:39.920–1:44.240
the DIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, have re
1:44.240–1:46.915
recently assessed that this kind of bombing that
1:46.915–1:49.760
the US is doing every single night is unlikely
1:49.760–1:52.391
to move Iran's negotiating position. So what
1:52.391–1:55.440
exactly is it that President Trump is trying to
1:55.440–1:57.453
do? And we've heard this kind of rhetoric from him
1:57.453–1:59.680
before. Now, when we've talked to US officials,
1:59.680–2:02.375
they have said that Trump has yet to sign off
2:02.375–2:05.520
on the most aggressive military action. So,
2:05.520–2:08.082
is what he's trying to do get Iranians back to
2:08.082–2:11.360
the negotiating table? It's really unclear at this
2:11.360–2:14.160
point. But, as you noted, he is making all of the
2:14.160–2:17.520
moves, setting up for a potential uh escalation in
2:17.520–2:20.145
military operation. But what does that do for this
2:20.145–2:22.880
war in Iran? What does that do for the American
2:22.880–2:24.888
people? I can tell you from every conversation
2:24.888–2:27.120
that I have from the with the White House, with
2:27.120–2:29.234
White House officials, US officials, anyone close
2:29.234–2:31.520
to President Trump, they do not want to be talking
2:31.520–2:33.660
about this war. They do not want to be engaging in
2:33.660–2:36.080
this war. they would take a ceasefire now if they
2:36.080–2:38.766
could just get a ceasefire, hope for the prices to
2:38.766–2:41.680
kind of level and or at least go down a little bit
2:41.680–2:43.378
and then they could move on to talking about
2:43.378–2:45.440
things like the economy. That's obviously not
2:45.440–2:47.811
going to happen if President Trump escalates this.
2:47.811–2:51.120
So, is he willing to escalate this and potentially
2:51.120–2:53.665
even put boots on the ground? We just aren't clear
2:53.665–2:56.480
right now what the strategy is and we're getting
2:56.480–2:59.153
nothing from President Trump's orbit as to what
2:59.153–3:02.000
he's going to do to break this impass between
3:02.000–3:04.436
Iran and the United States. at this point seems
3:04.436–3:07.360
like it's just going to continue. Yeah. All right,
3:07.360–3:09.335
Kristen, thank you very much. And of course, just
3:09.335–3:11.520
just so much confusion on strategy and also what
3:11.520–3:14.003
the end goal even is uh what what they actually
3:14.003–3:16.880
want. Kristoff Kettle is here with the New York
3:16.880–3:19.178
Times. Seth Jones is also here with me and I know
3:19.178–3:21.680
both of you have so much new information. So,
3:21.680–3:23.886
Seth, can I just start with you? I know you've
3:23.886–3:26.400
been with and you've been speaking to senior
3:26.400–3:29.572
US officials. Are we about to see a massive
3:29.572–3:33.440
escalation here? the bigger bigger strikes,
3:33.440–3:36.361
bigger action than since the war began. Well,
3:36.361–3:39.680
Erin, only one person knows the answer to that
3:39.680–3:41.752
and that is President Trump right now. I will tell
3:41.752–3:44.000
you what the military has given him is options.
3:44.000–3:46.438
Uh they've given him options if he wants to open
3:46.438–3:49.200
up the straight. This will be risky. Uh they've
3:49.200–3:51.396
given him air options. They've given him air
3:51.396–3:54.000
plus naval options. So to put in naval vessels,
3:54.000–3:56.428
including potentially destroyers through the
3:56.428–3:59.120
straight to bring in uh tankers and others. and
3:59.120–4:01.929
then uh air plus naval plus ground options. So
4:01.929–4:05.120
the president does have options if he wants to
4:05.120–4:07.760
forcibly open up the straight. It does have risks.
4:07.760–4:11.280
That's where we're at right now. Uh which is an
4:11.280–4:13.503
incredible moment. Kristoff, let me ask you.
4:13.503–4:16.080
You did this incredible visual investigation
4:16.080–4:18.646
of what has actually happened. Uh destruction
4:18.646–4:21.440
at US military bases in the region and what's
4:21.440–4:23.825
happening. And with US troops dying in recent
4:23.825–4:26.480
days, perhaps in part because of defenses on
4:26.480–4:29.496
those bases being so severely compromised. Your
4:29.496–4:32.640
reporting is so central. So um you got images
4:32.640–4:35.588
that Iran had put out for propaganda purposes that
4:35.588–4:38.720
you then went and verified what exactly is. So,
4:38.720–4:41.069
damage to structures at the US air base in
4:41.069–4:44.240
Jordan, uh, which we're looking at right here. Uh,
4:44.240–4:47.189
that that as well as damage at tower 22, which
4:47.189–4:50.480
is a US military out outpost on the northern
4:50.480–4:53.496
Jordanian border up by Syria and damage to
4:53.496–4:56.880
US military a tent in Herbiel, Iraq up uh,
4:56.880–5:00.105
in in Iraqi Kurdistan. So, what were you able to
5:00.105–5:03.760
learn from this? What we were able to learn from
5:03.760–5:05.958
this is that uh, Iran has a lot of firepower left.
5:05.958–5:09.200
So they're able to conduct precision strikes. So
5:09.200–5:11.460
if you look at the satellite images, uh you see
5:11.460–5:14.080
that they're targeting specific radar sites,
5:14.080–5:16.520
drone shelters, airplane hangers, and so on. So
5:16.520–5:20.240
they can conduct precision strikes and inflicting
5:20.240–5:22.550
very heavy damage. And of course, the the most
5:22.550–5:25.280
severe damage happened last week on Friday when
5:25.280–5:27.291
several US service members were killed, were
5:27.291–5:29.440
killed in a terrible tragedy. By the way, I
5:29.440–5:31.336
will note the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio,
5:31.336–5:33.282
did
not answer the question directly whe
5:33.282–5:34.400
n he was asked
5:34.400–5:36.261
yesterday if China was providing that targeting
5:36.261–5:38.320
information. Obviously, we have reported that
5:38.320–5:40.748
both China and Russia were helping provide much
5:40.748–5:43.440
of that information early in the war. So, Seth,
5:43.440–5:45.970
when you look at satellite images that you've
5:45.970–5:48.960
been focused on uh on the Iranian side of things,
5:48.960–5:50.803
right, you look at the ground there, you're
5:50.803–5:53.040
seeing something pretty significant in Iran.
5:53.040–5:55.689
Yeah, this just sort of dovetales with uh with
5:55.689–5:58.640
what we've just seen of damage on the US side,
5:58.640–6:01.158
which is we're seeing the Iranians actively
6:01.158–6:04.320
rebuilding like busy bees. Uh they're rebuilding
6:04.320–6:06.281
uh missile silos. They're they're building
6:06.281–6:08.880
infrastructure sites. And what's important, Aaron,
6:08.880–6:11.457
is that uh the Iranians have so much underground,
6:11.457–6:15.040
too, that that much of what they're having to do
6:15.040–6:18.222
in some areas is just reopen uh areas where Earth
6:18.222–6:21.680
has just like shut off the the tunnel. So, it's
6:21.680–6:24.920
like redigging excavation and and what appears to
6:24.920–6:28.160
be the case is a lot of the US strikes are just
6:28.160–6:30.449
not destroying those missile launchers. They're
6:30.449–6:33.120
being they're underground. The Shahed underground
6:33.120–6:35.494
missiles themselves, crews are ballistic
6:35.494–6:38.320
underground. That seems to be a strategy that
6:38.320–6:40.502
has been successful for the Iranians so far. Yeah.
6:40.502–6:43.360
And I and I'll note, Seth, from you know, from
6:43.360–6:45.726
your reporting and and and what we understand from
6:45.726–6:48.240
reporting the New York Times did about the CIA,
6:48.240–6:51.211
what 2/3 of the missile uh capacity was in place.
6:51.211–6:55.520
Those numbers though are now 6 to 8 weeks old. So,
6:55.520–6:58.331
who knows what has, you know, even been added
6:58.331–7:01.600
back on top of that. I It's obviously unclear.
7:01.600–7:05.296
Kristoff, you were able to verify some of the
7:05.296–7:09.680
uh with video some of what Iran was putting out,
7:09.680–7:12.647
including a video that Iran had put out showing a
7:12.647–7:16.000
strike on that air base in Jordan. And so you say,
7:16.000–7:18.190
let's just we'll show this what what looked
7:18.190–7:20.640
like to you that the explosion appeared to
7:20.640–7:23.857
be pre-fabricated housing. Um so you were able
7:23.857–7:27.360
to sort of match this up. So can you talk about
7:27.360–7:29.300
that? How you were able to match up what we're
7:29.300–7:31.600
actually seeing to confirm if it's real? it. So
7:31.600–7:33.931
it's it's a very unusual footage, right? And it's
7:33.931–7:36.560
actually filmed probably by a US soldier because
7:36.560–7:39.512
it's inside the the air base. Uh but what we are
7:39.512–7:42.800
doing is we use this sort of footage as well as
7:42.800–7:45.718
satellite imagery to match this up with each other
7:45.718–7:48.880
to match up buildings to uh check the damage when
7:48.880–7:51.057
it actually occurred. Satellite imagery allows
7:51.057–7:53.280
you to go back in time to make sure like a week
7:53.280–7:55.567
ago this building was still standing. And that's
7:55.567–7:58.000
how we verify and that's how we can assess both
7:58.000–8:00.718
the damage up close but also on on the whole base
8:00.718–8:03.920
in this case. Seth, how vulnerable are US troops?
8:03.920–8:05.933
I mean, when you think about in the early days
8:05.933–8:08.320
of the war when virtually every THAD uh missile
8:08.320–8:10.106
defense system of the that the US had in the
8:10.106–8:12.240
region was was taken out except for maybe one
8:12.240–8:14.756
and now here we are seeing strikes like Kristoff
8:14.756–8:17.600
is going through on that air base in Jordan where
8:17.600–8:19.978
US soldiers were killed in just the past few
8:19.978–8:22.640
days. How vulnerable are US sites? I mean,
8:22.640–8:24.854
how much of that missile defense and radar and
8:24.854–8:27.520
all of these things that they've been taking out,
8:27.520–8:30.579
how much of it has even been repaired on the
8:30.579–8:34.160
US side? Well, Aaron, uh, there does appear
8:34.160–8:36.655
to be some effort to repair some of what the US
8:36.655–8:39.440
has done, but I will tell you, I was in Europe
8:39.440–8:41.541
last week looking at an update on the war in
8:41.541–8:44.000
Ukraine. What is what is striking, that war
8:44.000–8:46.365
has been going on for four and a half years, is
8:46.365–8:49.280
the Ukrainians have been uh targeted by missiles
8:49.280–8:52.541
and drones for four and a half years. They have
8:52.541–8:56.320
their uh bases underground. Uh they've got uh a
8:56.320–8:58.915
range of both point and area defense, so counter
8:58.915–9:01.680
drone capabilities. The US should have been
9:01.680–9:04.233
better prepared when this war started for these
9:04.233–9:07.120
kinds of missiles, cruise ballistic missiles,
9:07.120–9:10.041
and drones. This was entirely predictable from
9:10.041–9:13.280
what we've seen for 4 and a half years in Ukraine
9:13.280–9:16.432
and how to defend against it. So having like
9:16.432–9:20.560
structures that are hitable uh and not underground
9:20.560–9:23.477
is a major lesson from the war in Ukraine that
9:23.477–9:25.920
was not moved over to the Persian Gulf right
0:00.160–0:02.734
pay up. That's what Trump is demanding of Iran
付錢。這就是特朗普對伊朗的要求
0:02.734–0:05.600
as it launches new strikes tonight. In a post
因為伊朗今晚發動了新的襲擊。在一篇
0:05.600–0:07.952
Trump just put out, he said, quote, "Please
特朗普剛剛發布的帖子中,他說,引號,“請
0:07.952–0:10.640
let the statement serve to represent until
讓這份聲明作為代表,直到
0:10.640–0:12.664
further notice that from this point forth,
另行通知為止,從這一點開始,
0:12.664–0:14.880
any and all damages done to ships, cargo,
任何對船隻、貨物、
0:14.880–0:17.305
or anything related there, too will be paid for
或相關事物的損害,也都會由
0:17.305–0:20.000
by Iranian money that the United States has in
美國持有並控制的伊朗資金來支付
0:20.000–0:22.393
its possession and controls. These damages
這些損害
0:22.393–0:25.120
may be very substantial, but nevertheless,
可能非常巨大,但即便如此,
0:25.120–0:27.653
this is the fair and equitable thing to do." Now,
這才是公平合理的做法。”現在,
0:27.653–0:31.200
it's worth noting that this is the same man who
值得注意的是,這位也是
0:31.200–0:33.958
said he was going to give Iran its money back as
曾說過要把錢退給伊朗的人,作為
0:33.958–0:37.280
part of theou, right? That was the whole thing. He
協議的一部分,對吧?這就是整件事。他
0:37.280–0:40.326
was giving them this money back. He actually said
要把這些錢退給他們。他實際上說了
0:40.326–0:43.760
this, "It's not our money. It's their money." And
這句話,“這不是我們的錢。這是他們的錢。”並且
0:43.760–0:47.473
we froze it at a certain point in time. It's
我們在某個時間點凍結了它。這不是
0:47.473–0:52.000
not our money. It's their money. Those are his
我們的錢。這是他們的錢。這些是他的
0:52.000–0:54.618
words. Now, Trump's claim about where the money
話。現在,特朗普關於錢將從哪裡來的說法
0:54.618–0:57.520
is going to come comes after he has just leveled
是在他剛剛發出
0:57.520–1:00.005
another massive threat, telling Axios, quote, "I
另一項巨大威脅之後,告訴 Axios,引號,“我
1:00.005–1:02.800
am considering a massive attack, bigger than ever
正在考慮一次巨大的襲擊,比以往任何時候都

before. I am close to making a decision. We're all
大。我即將做出決定。我們都準備好了。”你今晚聽說了關於他
1:05.421–1:08.320
set for it." What are you hearing about where his
頭腦的什麼情況?坦率地說,他
1:08.320–1:11.274
head is tonight? And frankly, how quickly he
改變主意有多快。好吧,艾琳,我的意思是,
1:11.274–1:14.640
keeps changing his mind. Well, Erin, I mean,
正如你所說,已經5個月了,而且
1:14.640–1:17.027
as you said, it's 5 months and counting, and the
結束還遠未顯現。首先,你
1:17.027–1:19.680
end is not anywhere in sight. First of all, you
有國務卿馬可·魯比奧說的話
1:19.680–1:21.523
have Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying things
像伊朗乞求回到談判桌。我們也聽過
1:21.523–1:23.520
like Iran is begging to get the table. Something
特朗普總統說過的話。但然後
1:23.520–1:25.104
we've heard from President Trump, too. But then
我們從川普總統那裡聽到的同一個人。但之後
1:25.104–1:27.360
President Trump today saying he doesn't think
伊朗還沒有準備好達成協議。甚至比這
1:27.360–1:29.507
Iran is ready for a deal. Even going further than
更進一步,說他們需要更多同樣的東西。好吧,
1:29.507–1:31.840
that, saying they need more of the same. Well,
更多同樣的東西很可能指的是事實
1:31.840–1:34.228
more of the same likely is referring to the fact
我們已經連續12個晚上在伊朗進行轟炸
1:34.228–1:37.040
that we've had 12 consecutive nights of bombings
。但我們今天的報導顯示,中情局和
1:37.040–1:39.920
in Iran. But our reporting today that the CIA and
在伊朗。但我們今天的報導指出,中情局和
1:39.920–1:44.240
the DIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, have re
評估說,這種美國每晚都在進行的轟炸
1:44.240–1:46.915
recently assessed that this kind of bombing that
不太可能
1:46.915–1:49.760
the US is doing every single night is unlikely
美國每晚都在做的每一件事,如果川普總統升級局勢,不太可能
1:49.760–1:52.391
to move Iran's negotiating position. So what
迫使伊朗改變談判立場。那麼,
1:52.391–1:55.440
exactly is it that President Trump is trying to
特朗普總統究竟想做什麼?
1:55.440–1:57.453
do? And we've heard this kind of rhetoric from him
我們之前聽過他這樣的言論。
1:57.453–1:59.680
before. Now, when we've talked to US officials,
現在,當我們與美國官員談話時,
1:59.680–2:02.375
they have said that Trump has yet to sign off
他們表示,特朗普尚未批准
2:02.375–2:05.520
on the most aggressive military action. So,
最激進的軍事行動。所以,
2:05.520–2:08.082
is what he's trying to do get Iranians back to
他試圖做的是讓伊朗人回到
2:08.082–2:11.360
the negotiating table? It's really unclear at this
談判桌嗎?到目前為止,
2:11.360–2:14.160
point. But, as you noted, he is making all of the
這一點還很不清楚。但是,正如你所指出的,
2:14.160–2:17.520
moves, setting up for a potential uh escalation in
他正在採取所有行動,為潛在的軍事行動升級做準備。
2:17.520–2:20.145
military operation. But what does that do for this
但這對伊朗戰爭有什麼影響?
2:20.145–2:22.880
war in Iran? What does that do for the American
這對美國人民有什麼影響?
2:22.880–2:24.888
people? I can tell you from every conversation
我可以告訴你,在我與白宮、
2:24.888–2:27.120
that I have from the with the White House, with
白宮官員、美國官員、
2:27.120–2:29.234
White House officials, US officials, anyone close
以及特朗普總統身邊的任何人的每一次對話中,
2:29.234–2:31.520
to President Trump, they do not want to be talking
他們都不想談論這場戰爭。
2:31.520–2:33.660
about this war. They do not want to be engaging in
他們不想參與這場戰爭。
2:33.660–2:36.080
this war. they would take a ceasefire now if they
如果他們能達成停火,他們現在就會接受停火,
2:36.080–2:38.766
could just get a ceasefire, hope for the prices to
希望價格能穩定下來,或者至少稍微下降一點,
2:38.766–2:41.680
kind of level and or at least go down a little bit
然後他們就可以繼續討論
2:41.680–2:43.378
and then they could move on to talking about
經濟等問題。這顯然不會發生,
2:43.378–2:45.440
things like the economy. That's obviously not
如果特朗普總統升級了這場衝突。
2:45.440–2:47.811
going to happen if President Trump escalates this.
發生。
2:47.811–2:51.120
So, is he willing to escalate this and potentially
那麼,他是否願意升級這場衝突,甚至
2:51.120–2:53.665
even put boots on the ground? We just aren't clear
可能派遣地面部隊?我們現在還不清楚
2:53.665–2:56.480
right now what the strategy is and we're getting
戰略是什麼,我們也從特朗普總統周圍的人那裡
2:56.480–2:59.153
nothing from President Trump's orbit as to what
得不到任何關於他將如何打破
2:59.153–3:02.000
he's going to do to break this impass between
伊朗和美國之間僵局的信息。
3:02.000–3:04.436
Iran and the United States. at this point seems
到目前為止,似乎只會繼續下去。是的。
3:04.436–3:07.360
like it's just going to continue. Yeah. All right,
好的,克里斯汀,非常感謝。當然,
3:07.360–3:09.335
Kristen, thank you very much. And of course, just
策略上還有如此多的混亂,
3:09.335–3:11.520
just so much confusion on strategy and also what
甚至最終目標是什麼,
3:11.520–3:14.003
the end goal even is uh what what they actually
他們實際上想要什麼,都令人困惑。
3:14.003–3:16.880

我們即將看到一場規模更大的打擊,
3:33.440–3:36.361
bigger action than since the war began. Well,
比戰爭爆發以來更重大的行動。嗯,
3:36.361–3:39.680
Erin, only one person knows the answer to that
艾琳,只有一個人知道答案,
3:39.680–3:41.752
and that is President Trump right now. I will tell
那就是現在的特朗普總統。我會告訴你,
3:41.752–3:44.000
you what the military has given him is options.

3:44.000–3:46.438
Uh they've given him options if he wants to open
嗯,他們給了他如果他想打開
3:46.438–3:49.200
up the straight. This will be risky. Uh they've
直航的選項。這將是風險。嗯,他們
3:49.200–3:51.396
given him air options. They've given him air
給了他空中選項。他們給了他空中
3:51.396–3:54.000

3:54.000–3:56.428
including potentially destroyers through the

3:56.428–3:59.120
straight to bring in uh tankers and others. and
直航來引入油輪和其他人。然後
3:59.120–4:01.929
then uh air plus naval plus ground options. So
空中加海軍加地面選項。所以
4:01.929–4:05.120

4:07.760–4:11.280
That's where we're at right now. Uh which is an
這就是我們目前的情況。嗯,這
4:11.280–4:13.503
incredible moment. Kristoff, let me ask you.
令人驚嘆的時刻。克里斯托夫,讓我問你。
4:13.503–4:16.080
You did this incredible visual investigation
你做了這項令人驚嘆的視覺調查
4:16.080–4:18.646
of what has actually happened. Uh destruction
關於實際上發生了什麼。嗯,破壞
4:18.646–4:21.440
at US military bases in the region and what's
美國在該地區的軍事基地以及正在發生
4:21.440–4:23.825
happening. And with US troops dying in recent
什麼。並且隨著美國軍隊在近期
4:23.825–4:26.480
days, perhaps in part because of defenses on
幾天死亡,也許部分原因是因為防禦設施
4:26.480–4:29.496
those bases being so severely compromised. Your
在那些基地受到嚴重損害。你的
4:29.496–4:32.640
reporting is so central. So um you got images
報導非常核心。所以嗯,你獲得了圖像
4:32.640–4:35.588
that Iran had put out for propaganda purposes that
伊朗為了宣傳目的發布的圖像,然後你去驗證了究竟是什麼。所以,
4:35.588–4:38.720
you then went and verified what exactly is. So,
美國在約旦的機場設施損壞,
4:38.720–4:41.069
damage to structures at the US air base in
我們現在正在看這裡。嗯,
4:41.069–4:44.240
Jordan, uh, which we're looking at right here. Uh,
以及塔22的損壞,這是
4:44.240–4:47.189
that that as well as damage at tower 22, which
美國在約旦北部邊境靠近敘利亞的軍事前哨站,以及損壞
4:47.189–4:50.480
is a US military out outpost on the northern
美國在伊拉克赫爾比爾的軍事帳篷,嗯,
4:50.480–4:53.496
Jordanian border up by Syria and damage to
在伊拉克庫爾德斯坦地區。所以,你從中
4:53.496–4:56.880
US military a tent in Herbiel, Iraq up uh,
學到了什麼?我們從中
4:56.880–5:00.105
in in Iraqi Kurdistan. So, what were you able to
學到的是,嗯,伊朗還有很多火力。
5:00.105–5:03.760
learn from this? What we were able to learn from
從中吸取教訓?我們從中能夠學到的是,
5:03.760–5:05.958
this is that uh, Iran has a lot of firepower left.
如果你看衛星圖像,嗯,你會看到
5:05.958–5:09.200
So they're able to conduct precision strikes. So
他們針對特定的雷達站點,
5:09.200–5:11.460
if you look at the satellite images, uh you see
無人機機庫,飛機機庫等等。所以
5:11.460–5:14.080
that they're targeting specific radar sites,
他們正針對特定的雷達站,
5:14.080–5:16.520
drone shelters, airplane hangers, and so on. So
非常嚴重的損壞。當然,最
5:16.520–5:20.240
they can conduct precision strikes and inflicting
嚴重的損壞發生在上週五,當時
5:20.240–5:22.550
very heavy damage. And of course, the the most
造成極嚴重的損傷。當然,最嚴重的損傷發生在上週五,
5:22.550–5:25.280
severe damage happened last week on Friday when
當時
5:25.280–5:27.291
several US service members were killed, were
多名美國軍人喪生,
5:27.291–5:29.440
killed in a terrible tragedy. By the way, I
在一場悲慘的災難中遇難。順便一提,我
5:29.440–5:31.336
will note the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio,
要指出國務卿馬可·魯比奧
5:31.336–5:33.282
did
not answer the question directly whe
沒有
5:33.282–5:34.400
n he was asked
直接回答這個問題,
5:34.400–5:36.261
yesterday if China was providing that targeting
昨天當他被問到中國是否提供目標定位
5:36.261–5:38.320
information. Obviously, we have reported that
情報時。顯然,我們已經報導過
5:38.320–5:40.748
both China and Russia were helping provide much
中國和俄羅斯在戰爭初期都協助提供大量
5:40.748–5:43.440
of that information early in the war. So, Seth,
這類情報。所以,塞斯,
5:43.440–5:45.970
when you look at satellite images that you've
當你查看你一直關注的
5:45.970–5:48.960
been focused on uh on the Iranian side of things,
伊朗方面的衛星圖像時,
5:48.960–5:50.803
right, you look at the ground there, you're
對吧,你看著地面,
5:50.803–5:53.040
seeing something pretty significant in Iran.
你在伊朗看到了相當重大的情況。
5:53.040–5:55.689
Yeah, this just sort of dovetales with uh with
是的,這有點類似於我們剛剛看到的
5:55.689–5:58.640
what we've just seen of damage on the US side,
美國方面的損壞情況,
5:58.640–6:01.158
which is we're seeing the Iranians actively
也就是我們看到伊朗人正像忙碌的蜜蜂一樣
6:01.158–6:04.320
rebuilding like busy bees. Uh they're rebuilding
積極重建。他們正在重建
6:04.320–6:06.281
uh missile silos. They're they're building
導彈發射井。他們正在建設
6:06.281–6:08.880
infrastructure sites. And what's important, Aaron,
基礎設施地點。而重要的是,亞倫,
6:08.880–6:11.457
is that uh the Iranians have so much underground,
伊朗擁有大量的地下設施,
6:11.457–6:15.040
too, that that much of what they're having to do
這也意味著他們在許多地區
6:15.040–6:18.222
in some areas is just reopen uh areas where Earth
不得不做的只是重新開啟那些因地球運動而關閉的隧道區域。所以,這就像
6:18.222–6:21.680
has just like shut off the the tunnel. So, it's
重新挖掘和挖掘,而情況似乎是
6:21.680–6:24.920
like redigging excavation and and what appears to
許多美國空襲並沒有摧毀那些導彈發射器。它們
6:24.920–6:28.160
be the case is a lot of the US strikes are just
位於地下。沙赫德地下
6:28.160–6:30.449
not destroying those missile launchers. They're
導彈本身,人員也位於地下。這似乎是
6:30.449–6:33.120
being they're underground. The Shahed underground
一種對伊朗人迄今為止成功的策略。是的。
6:33.120–6:35.494
missiles themselves, crews are ballistic
並且我要指出,塞斯,根據你的
6:35.494–6:38.320
underground. That seems to be a strategy that
報導以及我們從《紐約時報》關於中情局的報導中了解到的情況,
6:38.320–6:40.502
has been successful for the Iranians so far. Yeah.
三分之二的導彈容量已就位。
6:40.502–6:43.360
And I and I'll note, Seth, from you know, from
不過,這些數字現在已經是6到8週前的了。所以,
6:43.360–6:45.726
your reporting and and and what we understand from
誰知道在那之上又增加了什麼。
6:45.726–6:48.240
reporting the New York Times did about the CIA,
顯然不清楚。克里斯托夫,你有能力用視頻驗證
6:48.240–6:51.211
what 2/3 of the missile uh capacity was in place.
伊朗發布的一些內容,
6:51.211–6:55.520
Those numbers though are now 6 to 8 weeks old. So,
包括伊朗發布的一段視頻,顯示了一場
6:55.520–6:58.331
who knows what has, you know, even been added
對約旦那個空軍基地的
6:58.331–7:01.600
back on top of that. I It's obviously unclear.
空襲。所以你說,讓我們展示一下,這看起來
7:01.600–7:05.296
Kristoff, you were able to verify some of the
像是你認為爆炸似乎
7:05.296–7:09.680
uh with video some of what Iran was putting out,
發生在
7:09.680–7:12.647
including a video that Iran had put out showing a
包括伊朗發布的一段影片,顯示
7:12.647–7:16.000
strike on that air base in Jordan. And so you say,
針對約旦該空軍基地的攻擊。所以你們說,
7:16.000–7:18.190
let's just we'll show this what what looked
我們就展示這個,這個看起來
7:18.190–7:20.640
like to you that the explosion appeared to
對你來說,爆炸似乎
7:20.640–7:23.857
be pre-fabricated housing. Um so you were able
是預製房屋。嗯,所以你們能夠
7:23.857–7:27.360
to sort of match this up. So can you talk about
大致將這些對應起來。那麼,你能談談
7:27.360–7:29.300
that? How you were able to match up what we're
那個嗎?你們是如何將我們實際看到的
7:29.300–7:31.600
actually seeing to confirm if it's real? it. So
內容對應起來,以確認它是否真實?所以
7:31.600–7:33.931
it's it's a very unusual footage, right? And it's
這是一段非常不尋常的影片,對吧?而且它
7:33.931–7:36.560
actually filmed probably by a US soldier because
很可能是由一名美國士兵拍攝的,因為
7:36.560–7:39.512
it's inside the the air base. Uh but what we are
它是在空軍基地內部。但我們所做的
7:39.512–7:42.800
doing is we use this sort of footage as well as
是,我們也使用這類影片以及
7:42.800–7:45.718
satellite imagery to match this up with each other
衛星影像來將它們相互對應
7:45.718–7:48.880
to match up buildings to uh check the damage when
以對應建築物,並檢查在
7:48.880–7:51.057
it actually occurred. Satellite imagery allows
實際發生時的損壞情況。衛星影像允許
7:51.057–7:53.280
you to go back in time to make sure like a week
你回溯時間,確保像一週前
7:53.280–7:55.567
ago this building was still standing. And that's
這棟建築還矗立著。這就是我們
7:55.567–7:58.000
how we verify and that's how we can assess both
進行驗證的方式,這也是我們能夠評估兩者
7:58.000–8:00.718
the damage up close but also on on the whole base
近距離損壞以及整體基地
8:00.718–8:03.920
in this case. Seth, how vulnerable are US troops?
損壞情況的方式,在這種情況下。塞斯,美國軍隊的脆弱程度如何?
8:03.920–8:05.933
I mean, when you think about in the early days
我的意思是,當你想到戰爭初期
8:05.933–8:08.320
of the war when virtually every THAD uh missile
幾乎每個THAD,嗯,導彈
8:08.320–8:10.106
defense system of the that the US had in the
防禦系統,美國在該
8:10.106–8:12.240
region was was taken out except for maybe one
地區的系統都被摧毀,除了可能
8:12.240–8:14.756
and now here we are seeing strikes like Kristoff
一個,而現在我們看到這樣的攻擊,就像克里斯托夫
8:14.756–8:17.600
is going through on that air base in Jordan where
正在對約旦該空軍基地進行的那樣,在
8:17.600–8:19.978
US soldiers were killed in just the past few
過去幾天裡,美國士兵在那裡喪生。美國基地的脆弱程度如何?我的意思是,
8:19.978–8:22.640
days. How vulnerable are US sites? I mean,
他們被摧毀的那些導彈防禦和雷達以及
8:22.640–8:24.854
how much of that missile defense and radar and
所有這些東西中,有多少
8:24.854–8:27.520
all of these things that they've been taking out,
甚至已經在美國方面得到修復?嗯,亞倫,嗯,確實似乎
8:27.520–8:30.579
how much of it has even been repaired on the
有一些努力去修復美國
8:30.579–8:34.160
US side? Well, Aaron, uh, there does appear
所做的一些事情,但我告訴你,我上周在歐洲
8:34.160–8:36.655
to be some effort to repair some of what the US
查看關於烏克蘭戰爭的最新情況。令人震驚的是,這場戰爭
8:36.655–8:39.440
has done, but I will tell you, I was in Europe
已經進行了四年半,
8:39.440–8:41.541
last week looking at an update on the war in
烏克蘭人已經遭受導彈
8:41.541–8:44.000
Ukraine. What is what is striking, that war
和無人機的攻擊長達四年半。他們
8:44.000–8:46.365
has been going on for four and a half years, is
將他們的基地設在地下。他們擁有一套
8:46.365–8:49.280
the Ukrainians have been uh targeted by missiles
點防禦和區域防禦系統,因此反制
8:49.280–8:52.541
and drones for four and a half years. They have
以及無人機長達四年半。他們
8:52.541–8:56.320
their uh bases underground. Uh they've got uh a
將基地設在地下。他們擁有
8:56.320–8:58.915
range of both point and area defense, so counter
點防禦和區域防禦的各種能力,因此反
8:58.915–9:01.680
drone capabilities. The US should have been
無人機能力。美國應該在
9:01.680–9:04.233
better prepared when this war started for these
這場戰爭開始時,就為這些
9:04.233–9:07.120
kinds of missiles, cruise ballistic missiles,
類型的飛彈、巡弋飛彈和彈道飛彈、
9:07.120–9:10.041
and drones. This was entirely predictable from
以及無人機做好更充分的準備。這完全是可預見的,
9:10.041–9:13.280
what we've seen for 4 and a half years in Ukraine
從我們在烏克蘭過去四年半所見到的
9:13.280–9:16.432
and how to defend against it. So having like
以及應對方法來看。因此,擁有
9:16.432–9:20.560
structures that are hitable uh and not underground
易受攻擊且非地下的
9:20.560–9:23.477
is a major lesson from the war in Ukraine that
結構,是從烏克蘭戰爭中汲取的一項重大教訓,
