The United States and Iran have exchanged a series of military strikes using drones and missiles. These actions have increased instability in the Persian Gulf region and made it more difficult for diplomats to reach a permanent ceasefire.

美國與伊朗使用無人機與飛彈發起了一系列軍事打擊。這些行動增加了波斯灣地區的不穩定性，並使外交官更難達成永久停火協議。

The current conflict began when U.S. Central Command stopped four Iranian drones near the Strait of Hormuz, describing them as immediate threats to shipping. In response, U.S. forces attacked Iranian radar stations on Qeshm and Goruk islands. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps then launched seven missiles at U.S. bases in Bahrain and Kuwait. U.S. officials emphasized that six missiles were intercepted and the seventh failed, although Iran claimed the attacks were successful.

目前的衝突始於美國中央司令部在霍爾木茲海峽附近攔截了四架伊朗無人機，並將其描述為對航運的即時威脅。作為回應，美軍攻擊了位於基什島和古魯克島的伊朗雷達站。隨後，伊朗革命衛兵隊向巴林與科威特的美國基地發射了七枚飛彈。美國官員強調有六枚飛彈被攔截，第七枚則發射失敗，儘管伊朗聲稱攻擊成功。

These military actions are happening alongside serious economic problems. Because the U.S. has blocked Iranian ports, global energy prices have risen sharply. Consequently, the World Food Programme reports that millions of people in Somalia, Afghanistan, and Sri Lanka are facing severe food shortages due to higher fuel and transport costs. Furthermore, the conflict is linked to the situation in Lebanon. Iran has asserted that it will only improve relations with the U.S. if Israel leaves Lebanon and a ceasefire is reached with Hezbollah.

這些軍事行動與嚴重的經濟問題同時發生。由於美國封鎖了伊朗港口，全球能源價格大幅飆升。因此，世界糧食計劃署報告指出，由於燃料與運輸成本增加，索馬利亞、阿富汗與斯里蘭卡的數百萬人正 facing 嚴重的糧食短缺。此外，此衝突與黎巴嫩局勢相關。伊朗主張，除非以色列撤出黎巴嫩並與真主黨達成停火協議，否則將不會改善與美國的關係。

Diplomatic efforts to extend the ceasefire by 60 days have failed because both sides have different demands. Tehran wants the release of $24 billion in frozen assets and an end to the port blockade. On the other hand, the Trump administration continues to apply pressure. President Trump stated that Iran's missile capacity has dropped to about 21-22% of its original size. Although Pakistan has tried to help negotiate, the two countries still cannot agree on nuclear and regional security issues.

外交上嘗試將停火期延長 60 天但宣告失敗，因為雙方要求不一。德黑蘭方面要求釋放 240 億美元的凍結資產並結束港口封鎖。另一方面，川普政府繼續施壓。川普總統表示，伊朗的飛彈能力已下降至原規模的 21-22% 左右。儘管巴基斯坦嘗試協助協商，但兩國在核能與區域安全問題上仍無法達成共識。

The region remains very tense, with occasional military clashes and a diplomatic deadlock that threatens the stability of the global economy.

該地區依然非常緊張，不時發生軍事衝突，而外交僵局亦威脅著全球經濟的穩定。
