埃及海港天然气船遭无人机袭击 美军强力报复伊朗突袭

2026年7月30日 21:57 / 联合早报

在埃及面向地中海的达米埃塔港，两艘天然气船周三被无人机袭击后发生火灾，升起黑烟。 （路透社）

（华盛顿／开罗综合电）中东战火似乎正进一步往更多地区蔓延，埃及证实地中海沿岸港口有两艘天然气船周三遭来历不明的无人机攻击，其中一艘属美国企业所有；美军在当晚出手“沉重打击”伊朗，伊朗隔天再反击美军驻约旦基地，据革命卫队称，摧毁了三架F-35战斗机，造成数名美军人员死亡，不过美军否认有战机受损。

埃及政府星期四（7月30日）证实，前一天在地中海沿岸达米埃塔港发生的爆炸火灾是无人机攻击造成，但尚无一方宣称对事件负责。由于达米埃塔港毗邻苏伊士运河连接红海航道通往地中海的出海口，事故引发最新安全隐忧，沙特原油出口的最后一条安全航道恐怕也面临威胁。

早前，英国海事安全追踪机构安布雷（Ambrey）透露，达米埃塔港一艘美国液化天然气储存船和一艘希腊天然气运输船在周三遭无人机击中。海事追踪公司Kpler也说，爆炸干扰了一个主要液化天然气进口中心的运作。

中东战事爆发以来，区域多国能源设施都曾遭遇袭击，但埃及是首次遇袭。美国和沙特在周三早前首次联手打击伊拉克一个伊朗撑腰的武装组织，加上同样获伊朗支持的也门胡塞组织在红海封堵沙特船运，显示更多地区国家正被卷入这场冲突。

美国总统特朗普星期三（29日）在白宫告诉记者，他已收到埃及无人机事故的汇报，“这跟其他事故性质差不多，但会获得解决”。

特朗普说：“该轮到我们出手了……我们将狠狠打击他们。”不过他也说，仍在观望两国能否在某个时刻达成协议结束战争。

美军中央司令部过后对外发布，在美东时间当晚“完成一轮对伊朗的沉重打击”，击中伊斯兰革命卫队的数十个目标，包括军事指挥中心。

据伊朗国营媒体报道，有三人在美军对格什姆岛的袭击行动中丧命。

伊朗再炸美军在约旦基地 摧毁三架F35战机

伊朗塔斯尼姆通讯社星期四引述伊斯兰革命卫队声明报道，伊朗当天回应美军袭击，打击美军驻约旦基地，彻底摧毁三架F-35战机，严重损坏另外三架战机，有数名美军军官和技术人员死亡。

不过美军中央司令部表示，没有战斗机在伊朗最新袭击中被摧毁或破坏。

尽管美伊持续交火，巴基斯坦外交部发言人周四在每周记者会上透露，美国和伊朗的谈判仍在“持续”，寻求让局势恢复平稳，尤其是霍尔木兹海峡。

不过，彭博社引述多名来自美国、伊朗和欧洲的现任和前任官员报道，他们评估美伊冲突看来还会持续多月，因为双方无法打破围绕霍尔木兹海峡的僵局，也难以达成持久停火协议。

路透社则引述消息报道，沙特正同数十个国家磋商，寻求组建一个国际联盟，以保护红海航运免受胡塞武装的袭击，但联盟的构成尚未确定。

内坦亚胡向特朗普提新想法但未表明倾向重击伊朗

美伊6月份达成的停火协议破局后，以色列并未参与美军新一轮对德黑兰的军事打击。

以色列官员周三透露，总理内坦亚胡前一天在白宫与特朗普探讨可遏制伊朗核计划的所有选项，即外交斡旋、封锁海峡和经济施压，以及武力压制。内坦亚胡还提出一些新的想法，不过并未向特朗普宣称以方倾向于进一步打击伊朗。

以方官员说：“这最终是特朗普的决定。”

美国再对伊朗实施新一轮制裁

美国财政部周三宣布，对与伊朗革命卫队有关联的实体实施新制裁。它指控这些实体强制途经霍尔木兹海峡的船只必须购买海上保险，才能通过海峡。

这轮制裁共有10个实体和八个油船业者被列入黑名单，当中六个位于中国。

美国国务院指控八艘油轮运送伊朗原油和石化产品到中国和阿拉伯联合酋长国，是伊朗“影子船队”的一分子。

US economic growth slows in second quarter, but domestic demand robust

2026-07-30T12:38:21.18Z / reuters.com

• Summary

• Gross domestic product increases at 1.5% pace, below economists’ expectations for a 2.1% growth rate
• Consumer spending surges at a 3.2% pace; business investment in equipment rises at 15.2% rate
• Trade deficit subtracts 1.01 percentage points from GDP
• Inflation moderates in June, Middle East conflict poses upside risk

WASHINGTON, July 30 (Reuters) – U.S. economic growth slowed in the second quarter amid a widening ​in the trade deficit, but robust consumer spending and business investment related to the buildout of artificial intelligence infrastructure underscored strong domestic demand.

The moderation reported by the Commerce Department ‌in its snapshot of gross domestic product on Thursday also reflected continued inventory drawdown to meet the strong domestic demand. The report suggested the economy largely weathered the Middle East conflict last quarter, though renewed hostilities between the United States and Iran posed a downside risk to growth in the second half of the year.

The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here.

Generous tax refunds this year from President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which helped to fuel consumer spending last quarter, are behind, leaving households without a ​cushion as gasoline prices resume their upward trend. With the saving rate at a four-year low, consumers are unlikely to continue dipping into savings to maintain their spending, adding to the ​economy’s growing vulnerabilities, economists said.

“Underlying growth is solid, but unlikely to be sustained,” said Oliver Allen, senior U.S. economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics.

Gross domestic product increased ⁠at a 1.5% annualized rate last quarter, the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis said in its advance estimate of second-quarter GDP. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast GDP rising at a 2.1% pace. ​Estimates ranged from a 0.8% rate to a 2.9% pace.

But the survey was conducted before the release of June’s advance economic indicators report, which showed a moderate contraction in the goods trade deficit and retail inventories ​unchanged. That data prompted some economists to cut their GDP estimates by as much as 0.8 percentage point. The economy grew at a 2.1% pace in the first quarter.

Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, surged at a 3.2% rate after abruptly slowing to a 0.5% growth pace in the January-March quarter.

In addition to larger tax refunds, spending was boosted by higher-income households that are benefiting from strong growth in asset prices, but a recent ​stock market sell-off could slow the momentum. The recently ended FIFA World Cup tournament also likely added to the strength as did midterm election-related spending by nonprofits.

The AI investment boom, which is showing no ​signs of slowing despite investor concerns that valuations of many technology companies have become stretched, also helped to boost domestic demand. Business spending on equipment increased at a 15.2% pace, notching a second straight quarter of double-digit growth.

AI ‌BUILDOUT PULLING ⁠IN IMPORTS

But the AI buildout is heavily reliant on imports, contributing to a widening in the trade deficit. The trade shortfall sliced off 1.01 percentage points from GDP growth, the most since the first quarter of 2025.

A large increase in imports is normally offset by a rise in inventories. But inventories have continued to be depleted because of the strong domestic demand. Inventories subtracted 0.67 percentage point from GDP growth. Government spending contracted at a 0.8% pace as federal outlays declined at a 4.1% rate, imposing a small drag on GDP growth.

Final sales to private domestic purchasers, which excludes trade, inventories and government spending, increased at ​a 3.9% pace. That was the fastest increase ​in this measure of domestic demand since the ⁠first quarter of 2023 and followed a 1.7% pace of growth in the January-March quarter.

U.S. stocks opened higher. The dollar slipped against a basket of currencies. U.S. Treasury yields rose.

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday left its benchmark overnight interest rate in a 3.50%-3.75% range. Three members of the U.S. central bank’s policy-setting committee ​dissented. They “preferred” a quarter-percentage-point hike.

The Fed described economic activity as “expanding at a solid pace despite elevated uncertainty that owes, in part, to the conflict ​in the Middle East.”

Economists expected ⁠the Fed to raise interest rates as soon as September to quell inflation, which also factored into their expectations for slower economic growth in the second half. Average gasoline prices have risen back above $4 a gallon.

The strength in demand last quarter was accompanied by a surge in inflation. The price index for gross domestic purchases, a key measure of inflation in the U.S. economy, increased at a 5.7% pace. That was the fastest in ⁠four years and ​followed a 3.6% rate of increase in the first quarter. The Personal Consumption Expenditures price index rose at a 5.1% ​rate after advancing at a 4.6% pace in the January-March quarter.

Excluding food and energy, the so-called core PCE inflation increased at a 3.4% pace. The Fed tracks the PCE inflation measures for its 2% target. Though other data from the BEA on Thursday ​showed PCE inflation easing in June, economists shrugged off the moderation and expected price pressures to rise because of the escalation in the Middle East conflict.

日本札幌掀排外风波 印度教育集团放弃建国际学校

2026年7月30日 22:05 / 联合早报

札幌市已废弃的常磐小学外景，全球印度教育集团原计划在此开设一所国际学校。 （档案照片）

总部位于新加坡的全球印度教育集团（GIE）原本计划在北海道札幌开设一所国际学校，却因当地居民的强烈反对，最终只能放弃计划。目前，GIE在东京和大阪均设有国际学校，学生除来自亚洲和欧洲各国外，约有半数是日本人。这次在札幌建校遇挫，被指与日本近期掀起的排外风潮有关。

消息指出，GIE原计划于明年7月利用目前闲置的原常磐小学校舍开设国际学校。由于在东京和大阪有着运营国际学校的经验，他们在参与市政府的公开招标后，于去年6月被列为首选谈判对象。按照规划，这所国际学校第一年计划招收约50名学生，未来扩大到650名学生。

然而，建校计划公布后，札幌市议会共收到90份反对该项目建设的请愿书，其中逾九成表达的是“反对移民政策”和“不信任外国人”的声音。自去年夏天起，针对GIE札幌建校项目，日本社交媒体上就充斥着“印度移民将会增加”、“北海道将被入侵”等排外言论。为此，GIE去年还举办了一场说明会，但因反对者的强烈抗议而被迫中断。

上星期四（7月23日），GIE向市政府提交了撤回申请的通知。集团评估认为，网络谣言与线下抗议活动恐将持续，若在学校落成后此类情况仍无法平息，将难以保障在校学童的安全。

GIE母公司环球学校集团2006年在东京开设第一所国际学校，随后业务版图扩展至大阪、筑波等城市。此次选定在札幌市建校，据悉是相中它是北海道中心城市，而且常磐地区有著名的艺术森林公园，自然环境与城市功能都有利于打造优良的教育环境。

日本政府鼓励引进外资，札幌市目前也大力发展绿色转型、人工智能（AI）和半导体产业，以促进经济发展。这次要引进国际学校，也是为了给吸引来的外国专业技术人才及其子女提供配套的优质教育资源。

对于GIE建校流产，札幌市当局在回答媒体询问时表示遗憾，并认为日本社交媒体上散播的“排外”言论对当地居民产生了巨大的影响。

札幌市国际事务局局长菅野直树说：“人们很容易在社交媒体上发表意见，例如‘反对移民政策’。这可能会给人留下札幌排斥外国人的印象，但并非所有居民都这样想。针对外国居民的调查结果显示，实际上我们并未排斥外国人。”

Tiny England village plans referendum on leaving U.K., joining U.S. to protest migrant housing plan

July 30, 2026 / 11:21 AM EDT / CBS News

By Simon Ellery

London — Residents of a tiny English village furious over plans to house hundreds of people seeking asylum in a nearby disused military barracks are preparing to hold a symbolic referendum calling for their community to declare independence from the U.K. and join the U.S.

The referendum, which would carry no weight under British law, is being organized as a protest by villagers in Piddington. Residents there have overwhelmingly opposed the British government’s plan to house male asylum seekers at the site about a mile away, on a Ministry of Defense property.

An image shared on social media by Calum Miller, the local Member of Parliament for Bicester and Woodstock, in Oxfordshire, England, on July 25, 2026, refers to a protest campaign against plans by the British government to house people seeking asylum on a disused military barracks near the village of Piddington. Facebook/Calum Miller

Calum Miller, the local Member of Parliament, said the plans for the Bicester Garrison site could see as many as 1,250 people — more than three times Piddington’s population — housed at the facility.

Piddington Parish Council chairman Tim McNally, one of the leading voices behind the protest campaign and referendum plans, compared the village’s struggle, and himself, to George Washington battling for independence from Britain.

“Washington brought change. I am going to make the change and then give away the power like he did,” McNally told The Sun newspaper. “If we vote to leave, we are going down to the U.S. Embassy and bring our declaration to them.”

Piddington Parish Council chairman Tim McNally is seen in an image from a video he shot outside the local Village Hall, July 20, 2026, which he shared on X. X/Tim McNally

On July 4, as the U.S. marked Independence Day, Piddington residents voted on whether to hold a referendum on leaving the United Kingdom. According to CBS News’ partner network BBC News, 96% of participants backed the proposal to hold the referendum, which supporters call a symbolic act designed to draw national attention to their objections rather than a real attempt at secession.

Supporters argue the community was not adequately consulted before the housing plans were announced by the government, and they say the referendum is intended to highlight frustration with decision-making by the central government.

Jane Coles, from the regional Oxfordshire branch of the “Stand up to Racism” organization, told BBC News earlier this month that she opposed the “inhumane warehousing” of asylum seekers at any sites like the Bicester barracks.

“It would become a magnet for right-wing agitators and it will have a really polarizing effect on the population,” she said. “We believe the government would be better putting the money into the Home Office to ensure the system for processing asylum claims is much more efficient and much quicker, so the need for this kind of housing will be very much reduced.”

Even before the protest referendum, which hasn’t yet been scheduled, the political statement made by the plan has echoed around the world, drawing support from American tech billionaire Elon Musk, who often adds his voice to debates over immigration in Europe and the U.S.

“What has happened to towns who did nothing to deserve it, like little Piddington village, will happen to all of Britain, unless there is fundamental political change,” said Musk in a post on his social media platform X, formerly Twitter. “It’s not right. Not right at all.”

The British Home Office has defended the wider strategy of using former military sites to reduce reliance on hotels as accommodation for people applying for asylum.

Whatever the outcome, Piddington’s unusual referendum proposal has thrust one of Oxfordshire’s smallest villages to the forefront of a national debate over immigration and the extent to which the government should have to consult local communities on decisions that have direct impacts on residents.

俄罗斯袭击乌克兰克里维里赫市（Kryvyi Rih）附近地区，造成一家人死亡，两名消息人士称，此次袭击很可能使用了朝鲜导弹。这将是近一年来此类武器首次在战争中使用。

路透社引述一名消息人士补充说，俄罗斯此前曾向乌克兰目标发射朝鲜导弹，但此次在长时间停用后再次部署，显示莫斯科拥有新的武器储备，可以随时调动，以加强袭击。

乌克兰总统泽连斯基说，俄罗斯星期三（7月29日）夜间向乌克兰发射了数十枚导弹，并出动数百架无人机，造成八人死亡。他指出，乌克兰防空物资短缺，并敦促盟友提供援助。

一名要求匿名的军方消息人士称，乌克兰最后一次确认俄罗斯使用朝鲜导弹进行打击是在2025年8月8日。

俄罗斯于2023年底开始向乌克兰发射朝鲜KN-23和KN-24短程弹道导弹。
