第一:前言
根據美國在1973 年國會通過的「戰爭權力法案」
( War Powers Resolution ), 美國總統川普必須在4/29 日結束( Terminate )對伊朗的戰爭。因為這個法案針對總統未經國會批准,而發動對外戰爭的Power 限制在60天。 2/28 開始的對伊朗的戰爭,到4/29 是60 天。
60 天後的延續,有兩個選擇,一個是延長30天,成為90 天,理由是為了安全徹軍。但仍然需要國會投票同意,這個30 天延期,是為了結束戰爭,國會通過比較容易。
另外一個選擇是,要求國會通過一個給總統繼續戰爭的正式宣戰授權( Authorization )。 如果沒有通過,國會有權力再度投票,只要過半,就可以命令( Force ) 總統徹軍( Withdrawal )。 但是這條法律條文迫使總統徹軍,總統是可以以很多國安的理由上訴。 說來容易,程序沒有那麼簡單。
而民主黨更進一步,已經喊出彈劾 (Impeachment)川普總統。 這要國會參衆兩院,民主黨都佔多數之下,才有可能,目前共和黨在參衆兩院都佔多數。因此11月的期中選舉,顯得相當重要。 彈劾總統,法律程序也不是那麼簡單。
第二:現況
伊朗戰爭再度停火,談判懸而未決。川普總統仍然對伊朗採取海上全面封鎖Blockade 。 伊朗不但船隻出不來, 也進不去。 Hormuz 海峽被美軍完全封鎖。 直到美東時間4/24星期五早上, 伊朗總共有34 艘貨輪( 油輪) 被封。
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) 在4/24星期五早晨記者會上由Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Air Force Gen. Dan Caine宣布:
美國對伊朗海上封鎖至今,已經阻止了伊朗34 艘船進出Hormuz 海峽
“As of this morning, 34 ships have met the U.S. blockade and made the wise choice to turn around. “
另外從4/19 至4/23 總共有三艘因爲硬闖, 落入美軍手中。
4/19 星期日那艘來自上海,載滿製造飛彈的原料。4/22 星期三另外兩艘是在從伊朗港口載滿了石油,前往中共中國。
第三:中共軍援伊朗的証據
4/19 從上海來的那艘不聽美軍叫停, 美軍射中這艘貨輪的發動機房,海軍陸戰隊登艦佔取。在記者會中Caine 將軍這樣說:
One ship did not. And that ship was the motor vessel Touska,” 這艘貨輪不聴指示。這艘就是Touska貨輪。
Caine 又說:
“Over several hours this past Sunday, April 19th, the U.S. conducted maritime interdiction operations against the Touska, whose crew attempted to breach the blockade line.”
4/19 星期日花了幾個小時要求回頭,Touska 完全不聴,美國陸戰隊就展開海上攔截,登上Touska , 成功拿下這艘違反封鎖界限的貨輪。
Caine 說美國軍艦一再警告停駛。Touska 完全不理不睬。 “and the crew and the vessel ignored warnings.”
Caine 描述整個過程:
“Upon intercept and coming within visual range, American forces began to issue several clear and unambiguous warnings and inform the vessel and their crew that they were in a violation of the U.S. blockade and directed the ship to turn around,” Caine continued. “Over a 6-hour period, the vessel and her crew repeatedly ignored U.S. warnings, and then the U.S. Navy destroyer executed a series of pre-planned, carefully calibrated escalation options, including firing five warning shots.”
Caine 又說:
“The vessel and her crew continued to ignore warnings, and after exhausting all other measures, CENTCOM authorized disabling fire against the Tuska. U.S. sailors warned the crew of the Touska to abandon the engine room, and at approximately 9 a.m. Eastern Time, the destroyer disabled the Touska engine by firing nine inert rounds from the destroyer’s Mark 45 five-inch guns precisely into the engine room and engine space on board the Touska,”
Caine 又說:
“Not surprisingly, the vessel then reported issues with their engine, went dead in the water and began to comply with U.S. directions and orders,”
他又說:
“At 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, CENTCOM ordered United States Marines to seize the ship. Via helicopters, U.S. Marines maneuvered quickly to the disabled ship, boarded her from fast ropes via helicopter infiltration methods, and took custody of the ship. The ship and her crew remain safe in U.S. custody today.”
Caine 將軍是美軍中央指揮中心的主席,地位崇高。 這些話是說給全世界聽的。尤其是最後一句: Touska 這艘船現在很安全,而在船上的工作人員毫無死傷。船和人員現在在美國的保管中。
結論:
在美國手中的三艘大船全在美軍的保管中: Touska ( 掛伊朗國旗)Tifani( 掛伊朗國旗)和Majestic X ( 沒有掛旗)。
而且三艘大船所有船員全在美軍的看管中。美國沒有公布船員的國籍。
Tifani 是非常大的油輪,和美國的航空母艦一様大。可以運2 百萬桶的石油。美軍在4/22 星期三早上11:30登上Tifani 。
Caine 在4/24 星期五早上如此描述經過:
“The Tifani is a very large crude tanker… and is also about the size of a U.S. aircraft carrier and capable of transporting approximately 2 million barrels of oil. At approximately 11:30 p.m. Eastern Time, U.S. military forces and law enforcement forces also went to the ship via rotary wing platforms, fast-roped onto her deck, and secured her,”
Caine 接著表示美軍將繼續進行海上大封鎖, 包括在印度洋和太平洋:
“Both ships, the Tifani, the Majestic X, and their crews remain in U.S. custody, and we will continue to conduct similar maritime interdiction actions and activities in the Pacific and Indian Oceans against Iranian ships and vessels of the dark fleet,” 。
4/24 早上的記者會, 美軍中央指揮中心聯合作戰主席Caine 說的話是說給中共聽的。 非常仔細,相當引人注意。美國國防部部長Hegseth 所說的話也相當有針對性,說給全球國家聴,中心點仍是中共。
美軍正在為美國川普總統5/14 訪問北京暖身Warm Up。 真不知道中共主席Xi , 怎麼面對美國總統川普Trump ?
