關於伊朗戰爭的七個誤解 Seven Myths About the Iran War Michael Doran / Taimocracy 翻譯 20260413

【雙魚之論】
Only after October 7, 2023, the day Hamas invaded Israel, did I truly realize the intentional intellectual dishonesty of the media and the self-proclaimed 'progressives.' They attack Israel for its strikes on Gaza but give a free pass to Hamas’s crimes and its cynical use of civilians as human shields. These regional destabilizers—Hamas, the Houthis, and Hezbollah—are proxies of Iran, which is itself supported by China and Russia. I have lost all faith in those who manipulate facts and ignore causality.

經濟制裁的效果是很大的，只是時間會拖長，而且也會有制度漏洞可鑽，必需要來回幾輪修正與增加。

經濟怒火瞄準伊朗飛彈和無人機採購網路   財政部 20260421

Economic Fury Targets Iranian Missile and UAV Procurement Networks

額外制裁對象還包括與伊朗馬漢航空有關的實體，該公司曾為伊朗政權運輸武器。

華盛頓—今天，美國財政部外國資產管制辦公室（the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)對14名個人、實體和飛機實施制裁，這些個人、實體和飛機分別位於伊朗、土耳其和阿拉伯聯合酋長國（阿聯），原因是它們參與了代表伊朗政權採購或運輸武器或武器部件的活動。隨著美國持續削弱伊朗的彈道飛彈庫存，伊朗政權正試圖重建其生產能力。伊朗越來越依賴「沙赫德」（Shahed）系列單向攻擊無人機（UAV）來攻擊美國及其盟友，包括該地區的能源基礎設施。這些制裁措施旨在支持「經濟怒火」（Economic Fury）行動，以應對伊朗政權對全球安全的持續威脅。

美國和摩洛哥簽署新的國防合作路線圖    MWN 20260416

拉巴特—美國和摩洛哥簽署了一項新的國防合作路線圖，塑造了兩國在關鍵領域之一的夥伴關係。

〈美國與摩洛哥國防合作路線圖2026-2036〉（Defense Cooperation Roadmap 2026–2036）

【雙魚之論】
Following the United States’ signing of the Major Defense Cooperation Partnership with Indonesia, it has now signed the Defense Cooperation Roadmap 2026–2036 with Morocco. The former addresses the Sunda Strait, the Lombok Strait, and overflight rights in Indonesian airspace, while the latter at least concerns the Strait of Gibraltar. All of these are critical global maritime chokepoints.

美國繼與印尼簽署〈主要防衛合作夥伴關係〉後，與摩洛哥簽署〈國防合作路線圖2026-2036〉。前者處理巽他海峽、龍目海峽、領空飛越權，後者至少是處理直布羅陀海峽。這些都是全球海運咽喉。

******************* 

2026年4月16日，美國與摩洛哥簽署了一項新的十年期國防合作路線圖（Defense Cooperation Roadmap 2026–2036），這是兩國在安全與軍事領域最主要的近期合作協議。

新版〈台灣關係強化法〉草案 The new version of the Taiwan Relations Enhancement Act

【雙魚之論】
The actions of the blue and white camps (KMT and TPP) in the Legislative Yuan have already been incorporated into the new version of the "Taiwan Relations Enhancement Act" as part of the Chinese Communist Party’s definition of gray-zone warfare and coercion against Taiwan. Naturally, the next step will be to treat the blue and white camps as "hostile groups," with their key activists naturally regarded as "enemies."

失蹤的過路費：國家失敗的徵兆 Missing Fees: A Sign of a Failing State

【雙魚之論】
Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz to collect transit fees. Records show that 80 ships were released at a fee of $2 million each, which should have generated $160 million in revenue. However, not a single dollar was actually received. Could this be intentional? Reports suggest it was due to flawed process design.

伊朗封鎖海峽，美國封鎖港口 Iran's Blockading the Strait vs. US's Blockading the Ports

【雙魚之論】
Geographically speaking, the U.S. isn't blockading the strait itself but is instead focusing on Iranian ports using long-distance tracking. The specifics—whether they will resort to inspections, boarding ships, or seizures—are still unknown.

當世界受苦時，中國忙著囤積 While the World Suffers, China Hoards

【雙魚之論】
The IEA’s March Oil Market Report noted that against the backdrop of rapidly declining domestic oil and gas inventories worldwide—following Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz—China’s inventories surged. In terms of growth rates: with the exception of Middle Eastern countries, whose stocks rose only because they were unable to export, global inventories fell by 85 million barrels, and Asian inventories overall dropped by 31 million barrels. China, however, saw a substantial increase of 40 million barrels—30% more than the total decline across the rest of Asia, and nearly half the magnitude of the global decrease. It is clear that as China becomes a rising power, it looks out only for its own interests.

貝森特：中國「一直是不可靠夥伴」 Bessent: China has been an unreliable partner

【雙魚之論】
"U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, regarded as the most authoritative interpreter of Donald Trump’s policies, stated in an interview that the message conveyed by Trump’s visit to China in May is one of 'stability.' This is a veiled phrasing; 'stability' implies that no definitive conclusions are expected to emerge from the summit.

美國印尼「主要防衛合作夥伴關係」的地緣戰略影響　Geostrategic Implications of the U.S.–Indonesia “Major Defense Cooperation Partnership”

Singapore’s heightened anxiety over the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz appears, on the surface, to stem from developments in the Middle East. In reality, it reflects deeper strategic concerns about a potential conflict in the Taiwan Strait. In this sense, the Hormuz episode functions as a “rehearsal,” exposing Singapore’s vulnerability in the event of great-power confrontation.

美印尼主要防衛合作夥伴關係（MDCP）成立聯合聲明

2026年4月13日

美國戰爭部長與印尼國防部長宣布，美利堅合眾國與印度尼西亞共和國正式建立「主要防衛合作夥伴關係」（Major Defense Cooperation Partnership，簡稱 MDCP）。此宣布凸顯印尼在促進區域穩定方面的重要角色，並強調兩國雙邊防衛關係的堅實基礎與巨大潛力。

以毒攻毒：美國的反封鎖 vs. 英法的虛張聲勢 Tit for Tat: Dealing with Rogues the U.S. Way vs. the Anglo-French Facade

【雙魚之論】
Traditionally, the standard response to a blockade was a counter-blockade. However, the United States has gone a step further; for the first time in history, it is imposing blockade measures on those whom the blockading nation has selectively spared as part of its extortionary tactics. Since rogues only understand the language of force, the only way to deal with them is to "fight fire with fire."

反美者家屬的永久居留權與財富岌岌可危 Green Cards and Assets of Anti-American Relatives in Jeopardy

【雙魚之論】
In his book Smart Power, Joseph Nye argues that America’s greatest strength lies in the global appeal of its democratic lifestyle, followed by its network of allies. However, opportunists have exploited this, leading to the phenomenon where "living in the U.S. is the lifestyle, while opposing the U.S. is the career."

現代「天方夜譚」——評伊朗〈10點和平計畫〉 Modern The Arabian Nights: on Iran’s Peace draft

【雙魚之論】
On April 8, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council unveiled a so-called “Ten-Point Peace Plan.” Yet rather than serving as a genuine basis for negotiation, the proposal reads more like a politically driven declaration detached from reality—either formulated without prior working-level consultations or never intended for meaningful engagement, but instead aimed at consolidating domestic political interests.

台灣的政治危機，已經變成國安惡夢 Taiwan’s Political Crisis Is a Security Nightmare

【雙魚之論】
這是一篇描述台灣政治分化的概略性文章。
作者雖提及中國介入的因素，卻仍將國防特別預算問題爭議歸結於規模認定不同，實際上到最近的過去，不是討論委員會討論卡關而是不付委，根本還在國會的門外，甚至還為鄭麗文訪中而延遲審查。這樣的杯葛，不是政黨政策觀點不同，而是某些黨派受命後的自我繳械。

作為潛伏角色的國民黨主席 KMT Chairperson in the Role of a Mole

【雙魚之論】
What the author describes is the basic operational model of intelligence agencies: “pulling out and planting in” — recruiting the other side’s personnel for one’s own use, and infiltrating one’s own people into the opponent’s organization to let them grow and thrive. These personnel who have been “absorbed and utilized” will rise from the ranks at astonishing speed. Not only do they obtain outstanding academic credentials, but they also gain a wide range of valuable experience. The truly terrifying part is that within the organization, there are inevitably “our own people” who actively promote and elevate these absorbed individuals.

Denmark’s "Weak-Knee" Syndrome: A Lesson from History by HoonTing

At a time when the United States, Japan, and the European Union have reaffirmed that UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 does not determine Taiwan's status—emphasizing that Taiwan is not a province of China—Denmark, an EU member state, has inexplicably buckled. Following the lead of the South Korean government in February, Denmark has begun labeling Taiwan as "CHINA (TAIWAN)." There is little doubt that these changes are the result of relentless pressure from Beijing.

牽制美國，中國供給伊朗固態燃料 The Pinning Attack: China Supplies Iran with Solid Fuel to Restrain the US

【雙魚之論】
The Telegraph reports that four or five Chinese cargo ships have docked at Iranian ports since the start of the conflict, carrying sodium perchlorate, a critical precursor for up to 785 solid-fuel missile boosters. Of particular concern is the lack of any viable mechanism to intercept or halt these shipments.

失去理智轟鄰國，制裁伊朗恰得其所 Losing the Plot: Bombing Neighbors Makes Sanctions Against Iran Fully Justified

【雙魚之論】
Despite their gradual nature, economic sanctions against violators of international law and the rules-based order can prove more crippling than physical military strikes. The case of the UAE and Iran stands alongside the 2022 sanctions against Russia as a primary example. In light of the UAE’s status as Iran’s second-largest trading partner—accounting for 22.6% of its foreign trade ($28.2 billion) in 2024—strikes against Emirati as well as other countries’ civilian targets, including hotels and oil refineries, signal a breakdown in the Iranian regime’s governance. More accurately, it portrays the IRGC as a 'state within a state,' a rogue entity colonizing Iran from within.
