美伊衝突近期持續升溫,國際油價進一步走高,美國總統川普週三表示,等期中選舉一結束,油價就會開始暴跌,針對媒體詢問這項預測的依據,川普則稱伊朗「已經無法再支撐下去」,並堅稱戰事將在期中選舉結束後立即落幕。

綜合媒體報導,美國將於11月初舉行期中選舉,距今已不到兩個月,川普週三在前往德州出席共和黨期中選舉大會前對媒體稱,美伊戰爭將在11月期中選舉後「立即結束」,因為伊朗已經撐不下去。他也警告,針對伊朗的更多打擊行動即將到來。

請繼續往下閱讀...

川普還指控德黑蘭意圖影響選舉結果,「好讓一群軟弱無能的人選上,就會放任他們不管,讓他們擁有核武」。不過川普也坦承,外交談判仍是一種可能的選項,但並非目前考慮的方向。川普稱起初確實想達成協議,但目前伊朗的處境已岌岌可危,所以他們不再尋求達成協議了。

針對美伊衝突升溫,再度推升油價,川普稱伊朗現在一團混亂、通膨嚴重,而美國掌控了荷姆茲海峽(Strait of Hormuz)。川普也預期在選舉過後,油價將大幅下跌,並稱「我們會把價格壓到每加侖2美元以下」。

川普雖然再度放話,但並未對自己的說法提出證據,也未進一步解釋油價與戰爭為何會在選後迅速逆轉。

25th anniversary of 9/11: How did the attacks that shocked the world happen and how many people died?

On September 11, 2001, Al Qaeda hijacked four U.S. passenger planes and crashed them into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and fields in Pennsylvania, killing 2,977 people (excluding 19 hijackers), including 2,606 in New York City, 125 in Washington, D.C., and 246 passengers and crew members on board. The incident triggered the global war on terrorism, and the United States sent troops to Afghanistan. Al-Qaeda leader bin Laden was killed in 2011. The mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is still detained in Guantanamo Bay, awaiting trial.

China's first Arctic regular cargo route opens, Dubai Tower arrives at Intis Port

This route shortens the voyage by nearly half, but faces challenges such as high insurance premiums, extreme weather, Russian tolls, and ecological damage. The current annual navigation volume is far lower than that of the Suez Canal.
