一、夺取伊朗政权不是我们的目标“Regime change was not our goal—we never said regime change—but regime change has occurred because of all of their original leaders’ deaths. They are dead”。
二、我们不需要中东石油。我们自己有“We do not need Middle Eastern oil”。
三、美国不需要霍尔木兹海峡。谁需要石油,谁自己搞定!“The Strait of Hormuz has nothing to do with the United States”。
