U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States will continue its naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz even after Iran claimed the strategic waterway is "completely open." In a Reuters interview, Trump said the U.S. will recover uranium from Iran at a "leisurely pace." Meanwhile, the UK and France announced they will lead a new defensive maritime mission in the Gulf, and Israel struck Lebanon less than an hour after Trump publicly declared such attacks were "PROHIBITED."
美国前总统特朗普表示，即便伊朗声称霍尔木兹海峡"完全开放"，美国仍将继续对该战略水道实施海上封锁。特朗普在路透社采访中称，美国将"不慌不忙地"从伊朗回收铀。与此同时，英国和法国宣布将在海湾地区领导一项新的防御性海上任务，而以色列在特朗普公开声明禁止此类攻击后不到一小时便对黎巴嫩发动了打击。
Politics
Republicans in Congress bucked Trump to reject an 18-month extension of FISA surveillance authority, marking a rare rebuke of the president by his own party. Trump's ongoing dispute with newly elected Pope Leo has deepened divisions within the conservative movement. A new Politico poll shows voters are not buying Trump's claims of victory in Iran, while the death rate in U.S. immigration detention facilities has reached a 22-year high, drawing concern from physicians.
国会共和党人罕见地违抗特朗普，否决了一项为期18个月的FISA监控授权延期法案。特朗普与新当选教皇利奥的持续争执加剧了保守派阵营的内部分裂。Politico新民调显示，选民并不买账特朗普关于在伊朗"取得胜利"的说法，与此同时，美国移民拘留设施的死亡率已创22年新高，引发医生群体的关注。
Economy
U.S. stocks extended what analysts are calling an "astonishing" rally, with the Nasdaq posting its longest winning streak in 34 years. The post-ceasefire rally reflects easing Middle East tensions and optimism as the Strait of Hormuz nears full reopening, which analysts say could ease gas prices. AI chipmaker Cerebras filed to go public after scrapping IPO plans last year, and Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings announced he will step down as chairman.
美国股市延续了分析师所称的"惊人"涨势，纳斯达克指数创下34年来最长连涨纪录。停火后的反弹反映了中东紧张局势的缓和以及霍尔木兹海峡接近完全重新开放带来的乐观情绪，分析师认为这将有助于降低油价。AI芯片制造商Cerebras在去年取消IPO计划后再次申请上市，奈飞联合创始人里德·哈斯廷斯宣布将卸任董事长职务。
