Trump may bomb Iran again before the midterm elections! CNN reveals US plotting to use 'Mother of All Bombs' to attack nuclear facilities ZH川普期中選舉前恐再轟伊朗! CNN曝美密謀動用「炸彈之母」攻擊核設施
Newtalk新聞 隨著美國總統川普(Donald Trump)面臨期中選舉壓力,美軍已制定新一輪打擊伊朗的作戰計畫,選項包括動用美國最大型非核炸彈「炸彈之母」(MOAB),攻擊伊朗能源基礎設施及核計畫相關目標。不過,多名美國官員與知情人士質疑,這款炸彈能否有效摧毀深埋地下的核設施,並真正迫使伊朗讓步,仍存在重大疑問。 據《CNN》今(15)日獨家披露,引述多名熟悉內部軍事規劃的美國官員指出,川普已要求軍方提出更多打擊方案,涵蓋大規模能源設施及伊朗核計畫相關目標,包括美國與以色列認為存放部分核計畫組件的「鎬山」(Pickaxe Mountain)地下設施。若決定使用 MOAB,將是美伊衝突爆發以來首次動用這款巨型炸彈,也意味著戰事可能進一步升級。 知情人士透露,部分軍事規劃甚至將打擊行動與美軍撤出中央司令部責任區的時間安排連結。一名消息人士解讀,這可能意味川普政府正考慮在撤軍前發動一輪高強度攻擊,再藉此對外宣稱取得成果,為結束戰事創造政治空間。不過,川普本月 8 日已公開表示,美國不會在 11 月 3 日中期選舉前再次攻擊伊朗,白宮內部仍不確定這項承諾是否代表最終決定。 川普近期公開表示,中期選舉前不會採取新的軍事行動,白宮內部仍不確定這項承諾是否代表最終決定。 圖:翻攝自白宮官網(資料照) 川普政府面臨的困境在於,這場已持續超過 6 個月的戰爭在美國國內不受歡迎,共和黨也必須面對中期選舉可能帶來的政治反彈,但美伊雙方至今仍未展現接近達成外交協議的明確跡象。川普希望盡快結束衝突,卻不願讓美國撤軍被視為失敗,因此白宮高層與軍事規劃人員持續研擬方案,希望讓川普至少能對外宣稱取得象徵性成果,同時保留重新開放荷姆茲海峽等外交談判空間。 一名熟悉五角大廈規劃討論的消息人士形容,部分方案相當於一場「煙火表演」,目的在於提供川普退出戰爭的政治空間,即使攻擊未必能達成最初設定的軍事目標。另一名知情人士則指出,MOAB 也可能被視為心理戰工具,藉由大規模爆炸向伊朗施加壓力,但未必能帶來實質的戰略突破。 MOAB 是美國軍方研發的大型空爆炸彈,重量約 9.8 公噸,採 GPS 導引,主要透過巨大爆炸威力摧毀大範圍目標。美軍研發這款武器時,也將震懾敵軍士氣、迫使對方放棄抵抗列為心理戰效果之一。 然而,MOAB 並非專門設計用來穿透深層地下設施。知情人士指出,儘管這款炸彈具有大範圍殺傷與破壞能力,但其穿透能力可能不足以摧毀位於厚實花崗岩層下方的伊朗地下核設施。若攻擊人口稠密區附近的能源設施,巨大的爆炸範圍也可能造成嚴重平民傷亡,引發額外的人道與政治爭議。 MOAB 是美國軍方研發的大型空爆炸彈,重量約 9.8 公噸,透過 …
